Nursing Students LPN-RN
Published Oct 21, 2010
Any one in this program? I am looking it to it as it is the cheapest option I have found... Seems a lot like excelsior with the exception on clinicals (how do they do them?)????

I am new to allnurses.com, so bear with me here =) I am an LVN and trying to get into a transition program. I live in Fort Worth and was recently told about Lamar State University and their online program. Is this a good, reputable program? Is their admissions process easy, and do they accept C's, ( I have one from A&P II b/c of a horrible instructor and dont know if I need to retake it =( ) Thank you

Don't retake it, you will be fine. I'm starting lamar in september, it is a process so start early on your paper work. So far so good with the communications with them. Nothing expires for them, but you have to have all prereqs done. Good luck
Thank you for the info, I am taking micro starting this fall, guess I will take my nutrition and speech too then and hopefully start after the first of the year sometime AWESOME! Nice to know there are some institutions that make it a bit easier for you to transition!

I'm trying to figure out how you find a preceptor for this program and how clinicals are handled?! Is the preceptor someone you work with already?
My current employer set mine up, So I don't have to look for one.
Congrads!!!! I'm so excited for u and thx for reaching out. I'm happy we can work together to achieve our goals.

I will be starting the Lamar Port Arthur LVN to RN online program in sept. My employer does not do the preceptor program. I am looking for a company in the north west part of Houston that does. Does anyone have any suggestion? Thanks and good luck.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this site... I see lots of talk about the Lamar Port Arthur program, and am happy to say I start in Sep. Was wanting to see if anyone from Weatherford was also going this route... It would be nice to have a buddy

Hi everyone, New to this site. I am currently enrolled in the program, start clinical in mid-Sept. I have books for sale, let me know if your interested. I will say to all the people fixing to start, this is a very fast paced program. Lots of homework and you have to be dedicated to study on your own. email me if you need to. [email protected]
