Springtime in Iowa
Spring semester is over and summer semester has begun. Only six weeks away from completing the LPN program! It’s amazing how quickly this year has sped by. Testimony to how positive things can be when one really enjoys what one is doing. I find the thought of graduating from the LPN program almost bittersweet. I think back to how unsure I was of myself last August and see how far I’ve come and how much I’ve enjoyed learning this year. It’s really been a good year and I almost hate to see it end. All the same, I’m looking forward to moving on into the RN program beginning in July!
Spring semester finished well and I was able to maintain a 3.2 GPA and my spot on the Dean’s list! Here is my report card! Keep in mind that our grading scale is a little different from the norm. An A is 93% or above, a B is 83 to 92% and a C is 75 to 82%.
Medical Surgical Nursing I ~ B
Maternal Child Nursing ~ B.
Human Growth and Development ~ A
Nutrition ~ B
It’s a tough program and I feel pretty good about those grades especially since a couple of our instructor’s let me know that I am in the top 10% of the class! My grade in Maternal Child grade was actually 91.8% so I just barely missed that A!
Now in the first session of summer semester, I am taking Med Surg Nursing II and Sociology. We have clinical practice two days a week and I’m at Cass County Hospital in Atlantic, Iowa for that.

May 27th is the LPN lamp lighting ceremony and June 24th is our LPN graduation. I am looking forward to the 2-week break after graduation and anticipating visits from various friends and family! It’s a beautiful time of year here in Iowa when all the wildflowers are in bloom and the fields are growing lushly. It will be nice to have some time off to enjoy it and to share it with everyone who visits!
July 11th is the first day of the second summer session and I’m planning on getting a head start on the RN program by taking Microbiology. I'll get a two week break in August before Fall semester begins. It doesn't look like I'm going to be able to come back to Colorado for a visit so keep those e-mails, letters and phone calls coming or leave a comment below! I really love hearing from everyone.
Blessings of peace and harmony to all!
