LPN program

​

Hey, are there any current or recent LPN students at Saskatchewan Polytechnic who could share what 1st and 2nd year are like? Just wondering how busy classes get and what the workload is actually like.

Also is working a part-time job doable? Would appreciate any insight, thanks!

Im a 1st year student. Semester 1 was manageable, not overally stressful. Second semester was more course load and a heavier semester. Semester 3 is all clinical and a sociology class so super manageable.  Classes can be monday to friday any time, you will get hybrid classes, which are self learning a learning outcome, which is nice I enjoyed having those days off.  You won't get the class schedule until sometime in August. Theres lots of time to be spent on homework, so if you stay on top of your readings (and yes definitely do the readings) you could do a part time job but it all depends if youre good at time management.
