Lamar State College LVN to RN

Nursing Students LPN-RN

Published

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?)????

Specializes in got a cna license but no job.

How are the clinicals? DO you have a RN preceptor. How many hours a week are the clinicals/ I thought it was 24 hours a week.

you have to do 144 clinical hours in 5 weeks; for me that would be 12 12-hour shifts in 5 weeks. i'll have to do 3 12 hour shifts one week and 2 12 hours shifts the next week ...

Specializes in Emergency.

Yeah I'm having a problem finding a clinical site. I just started a new job on Monday and this hospital doesn't accept outside students even if u work here. Ugh, so can't do them where I work and my previous employer says you have to still be a current employee. My suggestion is check with your job to see if they even will allow you to do clinicals there. I can tell you Austin/Temple area will not. Good luck!

Specializes in Long term care.

Hello everyone I am new to allnurses. I am from the Dallas/FortWorth area and I am enrolled in Lamar State College online LVN-RN program. I was enrolled in RNSG 2514 but had to drop due to personal reasons. I will restart the class in January 2012. Is there anyone out there that has completed the program or enrolled or finished RNSG 2514 (Integrated care of the client with complex healthcare needs)? If so I really need some great study tips on how to get through the material. This program requires alot of work but it is doable. I am looking foward to becoming a graduate RN in September 2012!!!

I found this school Kennedy Global Schools offering LVN Program at first for number years already their graduates are already NCLEX Passers I verified it myself to Texas Board verification on line. Since Texas is one of the compact state and it is a legit school. Talked to one of their LVN graduate and already passed Texas NCLEX and she is currently doing the LVN-ADNe Bridge program. Check their website Kennedy Global Schools. I spoke to one of the education director and she sent me their curriculum 4quarters total first three quarters is on line direct, the last quarter you be doing your clinicals where the school is located. I am suppose to start the program with Lamar by January 9 and I am considering this Kennedy school as well. Good luck. Keep in touch. My email address [email protected]. This is a year program you guys..checked it yourself...

After completing the program, you will get an Associate degree, not in nursing but an Associate in Applied Science degree (AAS). As long as you pass the NCLEX-RN and have your license, it is just as good as an ADN. Universities accept it and so do employers!

I searched this school and it's located in the Philippines, no even in the U.S. It's accredited with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).

Still not in the U.S. Unless it's not the same school us posted.
