Is it hard to become an LVN?


December 26th, 2022

Yes. In my program I went to school every day all day , five days a week for a year. Constantly studying. Exams weekly at least. Skills tests where you have to perform sterile techniques. Staying up late getting up early…. Like 4 am to drive over and hour to clinicals. But I did it with 4 kids and one was newborn when I started so if you want it bad enough you can do it.

In my state it is referred to as LPN or PN. In my program, we teach Med/ Surg, Fundamentals, Mental Health, Women's Health, Pediatrics. We are a one year program and part of the Community College System and have a strong program. It is nursing school and it is not easy. You need to be a dedicated student.
