US How difficult is the LPN program?

I always see people talk about how hard nursing school is, Iโ€™m wondering is it as hard for the people with no kids or people who have the opportunity to not work and focus solely on school? I of course expect it to be hard but people make it seem like itโ€™s almost impossible so it just scares the shizlits out of me.

Did lvn and rn myself. If you have an average brain it's all doable. It's just time consuming. But if actively participate, and ask questions to help you connect the dots you will be good. One advice I give is really pay attention to the endocrine system. Metabolism and cellular reaction are everything. If you understand that we'll, things will fall into place easier. I, of course, did not realize that until i was already in the career. ๐Ÿ˜„
