Accepted to the LPN program in FL

U.S.A. Florida

Published

I have just been accepted into the LPN program at Lake Tech, in Eustis FL. I have my associates degree, and have taken all prerequisites to the RN program except Microbiology and A&P 2, when I finish my LPN I plan on immediately doing the LPN-RN bridge at the local college. I have chosen to take this route because of scheduling. I can't wait to get started! Any advise on things I should brush up on before the start of the program?

Hi! I go to Lake Tech right now, I love it! I'm in the same boat, I've finished all my RN pre-reqs and am going to bridge right over when I graduate.

I'd start reading up on A&P, that's where most people have huge difficulties.

Good luck and congrats!

Hi ladies! I just finished the CNA program at Lake Tech this past month! I am trying to apply to get into the LPN program. How difficult was it to get accepted? Also, how hard was the TEAS test??

The TEAS test was pretty difficult but I bought the TEAS study guide book and a sample from their website. That helped a lot!

To get an interview into the LPN program, you only have to score the mean or higher of all the test takers. For my group the mean was only 50 something % so it was pretty easy in that regard.

Good luck!

Thanks! I have one if the study guides that I'm using for it, so hopefully it covers everything. Have you already started the program??

yup I started in April, but I'm in the part time program so I don't graduate until November

Thanks! I am excited and ready to get started! I will be in the full time evening class that start March 14 and graduates in February!

@ makc88 , just keep studying your teas study guide and do the practice test, and you should do fine!

I kind of wish I did full time. This 19 month thing is taking forever! Let me know if you have any questions throughout your course. You're going to love it :) It gets much less hectic after A&P I promise!

What kind of stethoscope did you purchase for school?

I do have a couple of questions, but since I have not posted 15 topics I can't private message yet, so here they are.

1-how much time do you spend studying

2-are clinical's as tough as everyone says they are

3-does lake tech allow laptops in the classroom.

4-are you allowed to have any colored stethoscope or does it have to be black?

5-where you able to find white scrubs that are not completely see through?

sorry didn't see these til now!

What kind of stethoscope did you purchase for school? I bought a Littman Cardiology iii which I love!

1-how much time do you spend studying: In varies, in the beginning during A&P A LOT! Several hours a day. After A&P just a few hours a week. But I am in the part time program.. I've heard full time does nothing but study

2-are clinical's as tough as everyone says they are: not for me. I really enjoy clinicals and all my nurses have been excellent so far. It IS tough waking up at 5am or earlier and doing 12 hour shifts for free though

3-does lake tech allow laptops in the classroom: yes! most of us bring in laptops or ipads to make notes during class

4-are you allowed to have any colored stethoscope or does it have to be black? any color! Mine is pink :)

5-where you able to find white scrubs that are not completely see through? I actually bought mine from Walmart. You are supposed to wear underwear that matches your skin color under them

Thats alright I figured you would answer when you got time!!

I am getting a Littman Classic II, I have heard very good things about it, it's going to be purple!,

Thanks for answering my questions, it makes me feel more comfortable just knowing those little things!
