The Fast-Paced LVN Program in California
Date: March 1, 2019
“This, too, shall pass.” When you hear this simple phrase, if you are happy, it makes you feel a little sad, and when you are unhappy, it makes you feel a bit better. You would hear this in a movie or read from a book, but it is so true. No matter what is happening in one’s life at present, it will pass and be replaced by something else.
LVN students attending a fast-paced LVN program in California know this, probably, better than others because going through the tough times may be overwhelming at times, and yet these times will pass. The nerve-wracking exams and quizzes, the challenging and demanding instructors, disciplining the students can be draining.
In the early morning, you arise to get to the clinical sites on time and late middle-of-the-night study groups. All shall pass and be replaced by the more quiet routine of an LVN nurse’s day-to-day life.
The accelerated nursing program’s stresses will go away with the nursing school uniform scrubs and textbooks. Frustration over lack of time to do anything besides studying or attending classes, lack of sleep, inability to be with family, children, spouses, parents will soon be replaced with new worries, getting ready for the board exam.
But with these worries, the good things will pass too. The fun of hanging out with classmates in nursing class. The happy times, the potlucks, and making jokes about each other.
LVN students can see it and feel it, especially on their graduation day, when with the relief from the hard work of countless studies, they anticipate the coming separation from each other and the teachers they have grown to love. The heart-wrenching slide show of the photos taken during clinical rotations, having fun, learning, experimenting, and discovering touches everyone’s heart and making everyone cry.
Tears of students falling from those have grown from strangers into best friends. They know that soon they will move on with their lives and say goodbye to the old class, the LVN college, and people who have become their extended family.
“This too shall pass,” they say. New worries and new routines replace the time of joy and sorrow, now smiles, laughter, new faces. Life goes on, and we move on with it.
