Nursing = learning and growing – before and during your formal nursing education, as well as continually throughout your nursing career. Start now to incorporate effective learning strategies, such as asking yourself questions to prime your brain to search for and retain answers. Nurses think critically, examine situations and ask questions, such as . . . “What do I know?” “What is my current knowledge based on?” “Is there more I need to find out?” “Do I need to be thinking about a situation or question differently?” There is no better time to start that process than now! In order to focus your thoughts as you read through this packet, first answer each question as T (TRUE) or F (FALSE), based on what you already know. 1. SVCC’s Nursing Programs have two phases: pre-clinical phase, during which students take general education classes, attend an Info Session, and take their pre-entrance test and the clinical phase, during which students take nursing classes and practice patient care in healthcare facilities under the direction of faculty. 2. SVCC has both RN programs and LPN programs. 3. There are very few jobs for LPNs, so it is better to become an RN. 4. Commitment, regular investment of time and effective studying correlate more with nursing school success than does IQ. 5. In both nursing programs, students must earn a C or better to remain in the program and the lowest C in nursing is 78%. .................................................continued.................................................
