LPN program at Columbus State

I'm not sure about the LPN program, but the RN program accepts applications twice a year: starting in January for fall quarter and sometime in the summer for spring quarter.

Yes, you do have to have your prereqs completed before applying.

The winter application period is for fall applicants and the summer application period is for the following spring's applicants.

hi
I'm graduating next week from the LPN program there. Do you know the name of the advisor you spoke to?

hi
I would try to contact Sherry Bockus, the program director, or Sharon Ward, who is her assistant. Try to get to Sherry if you can, since I think that Sharon is slow getting back to you sometimes. I think they just pretty much take apps all the time, and then fit you in when they can. I don't know about now, but when I started there was no waiting list, so my friend and I got right in. We just applied as soon as we had all but one or two of our prereqs done, and we were scheduled to finish them the next quarter. I think it was January, and we started in September.
All the jobs I've heard of are in ltc or homecare. Which works for me, since I'm hoping to start in the RN program next year.
If you have your LPN license, you can apply anytime, and they get you into the RN in the first available space, since you don't have to take all of the classes, you get to skip some.
Good luck!
