    Does anyone have any information about the cost of the LPN program at the Ohio Medical Career Center? I am looking into it, I've been on the waiting list at Sinclair, and I know its the cheapest, but honestly, I am sick of waiting! I'm ready to get going with my work! If this is a bad program then I will continue to wait. The website gives almost no information, so I have no clue about costs or much about the program at all. Obviously I know the difference between going to Sinclair and getting my associates vs doing an LPN and then transfering to finish my associates. I guess I'm just torn and trying to figure out the best move to make. All of these waitlists, different colleges with different costs, pre-req's, ect. just has me more and more confused. Just trying to figure it all out. If anyone can answer any of my questions, I'd greatly appreciate it. Also, I was wondering if anyone knew if my pre-req's would transfer or if I would be forced to retake some classes, like I've been told at other colleges like Hondros. Any information would be a big help. Thank you.

    Look at the WIA / TRA / TAA training provider list for that county. Or Google for your state's One Stop site or workforce development site. Those schools on the provider list have to tally up a total cost with books, uniforms, supplies, and tuition and other expenses like the background checks, etc. If that is not published online, somebody at the local One Stop (unemployment office) either has that data or they can find out. That is, if that particular school is on the training provider list, and most LPN programs are. Those training provider lists also used to publish quarterly or annual wages for the recent grads, too, all in the details of that program's listing on the training provider list.

    Here it is : https://ohiomeansjobs.com/etpo/publi...viderId=470139

    I started at this site and just drilled down. https://ohiomeansjobs.com/etpo/

    I'm in PA, and the school I just looked up is Ohio, but each state should have a similar training provider list because most of the retraining money is at least partially federal funding and thus there are standards for record-keeping and for data-collection for effectiveness of the program. If a school is across a state line, it's possible to have it added to your state's provider list, for you TRA/TAA people, but it takes a lot of time in some cases and they may not get it done before you need to start your classes.

    If its not too late, turn and run as far as possible from this school. Either wait and go to Sinclair or go somewhere else. Honestly, I wish I would've listened to my gut and gone somewhere else.

    As of now, the total cost of tuition is $11,000. Add in textbook costs and lab fees and the total cost of the program is $14,834. This does not include the NCLEX application fee or the exam fee which is $275 total. Before starting their program you must also have a medical terminology course under your belt and pass the LPN entrance exam (1st attempt is free). If you take the MT course that is offered at the center it is $180. You must also pay an application fee of $65 and have an active CPR card. If you don't have a CPR card, they offer a 1 day course which costs $45. Last but not least, you have to pay for your own FBI & BCI fingerprint background check which can be done at the driver's license bureau. Well, I hope this helped. I just got an information packet today and I'm still thinking about starting. Let me know if you have any questions.
