For students in nursing schools//programs?


I'm a senior in highschool and I take half of my highschool day and go to The School of Nursing. It's a 2 year lpn class. The first year of course is pre-clinical and 2nd year is clinical. I'm going to go to Radford U and eventually be a nurse prac. But I want to know, what are your requirments to get in 2nd year. Ours is we have 12 units and we have to get at least 78% on 10 and 90% on two. We must have 92% attendance and pass all checkoffs conducted by the clinical instructors (like vital signs, sterile gloving, hand washing, bathing, shots, IV's, etc.)

That seems to be about right here in Cali. I am very interested in becoming an RN one day. When I was looking into it about 4 years ago, the school of Nursing was almost identical to how you just described it. Good Luck to you, May God Bless you greatly!
