Comments on Lanting

[medtek]

Hi to everyone. I'm 25 yrs old and a would-be 2nd courser nursing student.

Like other second coursers, it took me a while of careful consideration in looking for a good nursing school to invest my time and money. Finally I've settled for Dr. Carlos Lanting College and hopefully I'll start by this summer.

I've heard mostly good comments about Lanting but the info I found on this link http://www.ofwguide.com/article_item.php?articleid=161 is a bit disturbing. It says Lanting is one of the schools given closure notice due to poor performance and failure to comply with the requirements set by the CHED. Though it's a bit dated and Lanting is still in operation (as far as I know), I'd still like anybody to comment on this.

I'm excited to start this nursing career path and I'm just hoping there will be no hitches on the way. Any comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, especially from previous students of Lanting. Thanks!!

it really depends on the student how determined you are to be a successful nurse. anywhere you may be, the real gauge is how well your background in nursing have helped you to pass the local or nclex exam, how much exposure you have gained, how humble and disciplined you can be as a student which will reflect how you can be a competent nurse. lanting college did help me pick up my loose ends to start a new field in nursing. goodluck... wherever you may be medtek, was medtech one of your course? go lanting....

Thanks malmd06. No, my first course is BS ComSci, w/c is not an allied science course.

I also inquired with PWU-Edsa since they have a special two-year, trimester program for 2nd courser. But it is very expensive and quite fast-paced(only 13 weeks per sem), I think I need a more relax program so I can really sink myself in with everything I need to learn with my new 'career'.

I have already enrolled with Lanting and I'll be starting by this summer; according to them it will take me 2 1/2 years to finish the BSN program.

Thanks to everyone here in Allnurses who help me greatly.

hmm... that is not true. We have many students who passed the boards as well as top it too. but i don't want to be bias- i was a regular students so i can't really help you if you're applying for the allied courses. About quality of the school and instructors well: we have good teachers as well as not so good teachers- but heck who doesn't it. If you end up with the latter: you do what normal students usually do- talk crap about them behind their back and then you make an extra effort on your own. but you'll be happy to know the school has been hiring better instructors- every year. About our facilities- it's been heck of an improvement than during my time. So if you're applying this coming school-year, you'll be in a nicer upgraded building. Nicer equipments. Nicer floors. The toilets?!? i let you be the judge of that. =).
