i live in the new york city area and i'm looking to start an lpn programe, but i want to do the accelerated one. i know its intensive but i'm willing to go for it.
can anyone recommend some schools. thanx
Thanks! I thought it was cute when I saw it!
I actually took the exam for that program...along with a HS cafeteria full of people. I passed and received a letter telling me that I had to sit for another exam, but by then I made the decision to attend my current school. It is competetive and I heard that many people end up dropping/failing, which I guess would happen at any other nursing program. And yes, they do have classes that you can take before taking their exams. It is supposed to be tuition free, and you only pay for uniforms, books, CPR course, etc. Definitely a program worth trying to get into.
I tried to get into that program years ago (at least 12 years ago). If I am correct, they want you to sit for the NLN exam, which consists of reading, math and science. I failed it and didn't get in. Their program is very reasonably priced, but, also very competitive. You will see MANY people coming there, but the seats are limited. I am not saying that you shouldn't try, though. I would definitely sit for their remediation classes for review in order to take their exams. Again, I am not sure if they still run the same way. Good luck!
