Nursing classes

well its been about 5 days into the LPN program that I competed for , I was so shocked to hear that there would only be 28 of us starting the program instead of the 40 they had slotted, then she told us how many people were interviewed for the spots and I cant honestly believe my luck of getting in, they interviewed 130 people for the program. So far its been very interesting and fun, lots of tests and info to memorize but Ive always been fascinated by how the body works and helping people out so I am kinda excited to start our clinicals in the end of august ( clinicals are actually working at the hospital with patients with supervision of course) We had to spend a ridiculous amount of cash on uniforms and equipment and that's not including books, all together I have spent about 900.00$ on stuff for the program... while I have military scholarships that paid for my books , they are only reimbursing me for my uniforms and that still leaves me to pay for the rest which is about 200$. In the long run it will definitely be worth it so I'm super happy that I didn't get into the sonography program earlier since I would have missed out on being with my mom during her surgery and staying up there for her . I think God was looking out for me in my best interest . I'm going to make a great OB or neonatal nurse some day!
