I am a third level student & will graduate in Dec. I think it's a great program, I really like that we go straight thru, the first semester is tough because you have foundations and pharmacology, but after that each class lasts seven weeks: 2nd semster is psych/med/surg 1; 3rd semester is OB & med surg 2; 4th semester is pedi & med/surg 3 w/management. You have to be really focused because you can't miss even 1 whole lecture day or you will be dropped because it is more than a 12% absence which is against school policy. So just get everything in order and go for it.

I will graduate in Dec & it is intense, but my experience has been good. There are a few teachers who I would not want again, but overall the teachers are understanding. The key, I think, is to be prepared and don't get behind because there is no time to make up anything. Good Luck!

Good Luck! I just graduated from Kilgore in May. There are several bad things I can say about the program, but I won't. I'll focus on the good. One good thing is that you'll get done a lot sooner because it is a straight 16 month program. I wouldn't advise you to try looking at any of the lecture material before hand. Everything will be explained in class once you are accepted into clinicals. Any other questions, feel free to ask.

I graduated from there in May '09. The NET test will test your ability in Math and Reading. I think you need a 60 on each section. It's pretty easy, well the Reading part is a bit difficult. I got 98% on Math and 88% on the reading so it's not too too bad. When I applied I had a 3.2 GPA and got in on 1st try so you should be fine.
