Has anyone heard of a private school in Crystal Lake, Il called J. Renee
Career Facilitation. If anyone has could you please let me know what
you have heard or experience good or bad?

I am currently enrolled there, however everything is excellerated and ver
mentally draining.

Any graduates from this School?

I haven't- but I'd put the name of the school in the title- would attract more attention to those who HAVE been there who may otherwise skip over it!

Crystal Lake? Isn't that where Jason Vorhees Killed all those teenagers in those Friday the 13th movies?

Never heard of it. I tried to google the school and couldn't find a direct website for them. Kinda weird........ I work in Barrington so maybe I'll have to swing by there to see what they are all about. If you find out anything let us know.

I live in Crystal Lake and I wasn't aware of it. I know the McHenry County College has a LPN program and the College of Lake County (where im at) has an RN program.

Hi, I am currently enrroled at J'Renee, starts LPN program this Fall. If anyone goes there, let me know, so we can exchange information.

Hello, my name is Megan and I just graduated from J'Renee in July. I am currently waiting to get a response to take my boards and I am sooo nervous! Haha. If you have any specific questions about the program you can ask me. Our class had a a very bumpy year considering that it was their first class for the LPN program....but I would assume that it has gotten better. I know that they just hired some more teachers and stuff.... Well hit me up if you need any information. Good luck!

Thank you so much for answer my message... Would you call a "bump" year? Very hard classes? Not good clinical?Please let me know. I hope that this program would be OK. I will be driven 37 miles(one way) everyday. I really like the owner of the School, " Juanita". How it was the clinicals? Where it was done? Do they had a Graduation party? How it was it? My classes are supost to starts in the middle of September. sorry for all the questions... Feel free to add any other information.
Good lucky in your Boards.

I almost went there but decided not to. I liked it because there was no wait list and because you could take a&p through an online course (canyon college). I met with the owner Juanita Macklin and she was super nice. The drawback is it is very expensive and when you finish you can only work as an LPN. You would still have to go back to school to take the necessary pre-reqs to become an RN. It is a fast and decent school if you want to become an LPN and stop there. If not you would be wasting a year when you could be taking your pre-reqs to get into an RN program.

Good Luck.
