Hello! Anyone who wishes to join the Winter 2017 preLPN class held at Career Link should plan on coming to Orientation on Thursday, January 12th. At this orientation, I will explain the details of my class as well as give you some background information about the TEAS test. In addition, anyone who has not taken a TABE test in the last 150 days will be required to take this basic test of math and reading. You do not need to study for this test! This test will simply let me know which skills you have and which skills you still need to acquire. (Those of you who took the test on August 31, 2016, or later ,will not need to re-take the TABE test, but I still would like you to come to orientation).
Orientation will be held in Room 21 in the basement of Career Link and will start at 9am. Brand new students who have never taken the TABE test for me will need to stay until approximately 1230pm. Please do the best you can to arrange to have this day free until 1pm. If you absolutely cannot make this orientation date, I will need to speak to you - please email me at Elizabeth_woratyla@iu13.org
My class is filled based on the call-in date of the student. Those who attend orientation on the scheduled day are given priority. Please keep this in mind and do the best you can to attend orientation. Looking forward to meeting all of you and congratulations on taking that first step toward educating yourself for a better future!!

August 9th update-
Hi Students! Some of you have asked me about purchasing study guides for the TEAS test. In class, we will be using lots of different materials to prepare for the TEAS and you actually are NOT REQUIRED to purchase any study guide. There are many study guides out there and none of them are perfect. However, I do have a set in the classroom of what I think is one of the best because it is written by the ATI testing service itself. ATI testing service wrote the TEAS, and therefore, I think that their study guide matches up best with the actual test. However, their newest version of the study guide is very expensive, and I don't recommend it. I will discuss this at length at orientation... for now, I would recommend that you hold off on purchasing any study guide unless you find an inexpensive, used copy online. Remember, you do not NEED to purchase a study guide to be in my class.

Orientation Update
Hi Class, Here are a few more details for preLPN Orientation scheduled for August 31st:
Orientation will be held in room 21 in the basement of Career Link (1016 N. Charlotte St). This classroom is across the hall from the cafeteria (Par Cafe) in the back of the building.
Enter the building from Charlotte Street and get a visitors sticker at the front desk. Tell them that you are heading to the IU13 classrooms, and they may help get you headed in the right direction.
Orientation starts at 9am, please leave plenty of time to find the classroom.
Please bring an empty folder, if you have one. I will be giving you some handouts, and it would be best if you could keep them protected -- together, and in one place. Organization is a huge part of school success!
You will be asked to fill out several forms at Orientation. You will be asked to supply your address, phone numbers, email address, and social security number. In addition, you will be asked to supply an emergency contact (name and phone number). Please come prepared with this information.
Lastly, RELAX!! This orientation is simply an opportunity for you to learn about the class and how it can help you achieve your goals. You are not committing to anything by attending the orientation. However, if you do NOT attend orientation, you should know that you may be put on a waiting list for the class. We have many students interested in the class, and our classroom can only accommodate 18 students. Please show your interest by attending. (If you have a conflict with the orientation date, please let me know ahead of time, and we can make other arrangements).
Looking forward to meeting you all!! Liz elizabeth_woratyla@iu13.org

Welcome!
Orientation for all new students to the Health Careers Class will be held on August 31st from 9am -12:30pm. During this session, you will learn:
- the expectations of the preLPN class
- about the TEAS exam
- about the different LPN training programs in Lancaster County
In addition, you will take a basic skills test so that you and I can develop a plan together to tackle your weaknesses and build on your strengths. You do not need to study for this test. This test simply gives me a benchmark assessment of where you are so that I can adjust my instruction to meet your needs.
If you have not yet registered for the Orientation session, please call Carola at 717-606-1364.
If you have any other questions before the Orientation, you may email me at
elizabeth_woratyla@iu13.org
Looking forward to meeting you and helping you all achieve your goals!
