Anyone going to currently or planning to attend Cincinnati State's LPN program?

Published

Hi all,

I'm currently in process of gathering my pre reqs. for cin state's lpn (pnc) program. Has anyone started this program yet or will start soon? Just curious. I'm trying to enter the evening program with Diamond Oaks starting in Early Fall, but, seem to have been railroaded into taking 2 d.e. math courses which will put me into winter and who knows which campus. GRRRR....

I am in my second term at Scarlet (days, class #62). We are just starting clinicals. So far, I like it. But the program is extremely disorganized. I have no doubt that I will get through it fine, but one must have extreme patience with being ignored on email at times and waiting a while for an answer.

ahhh, I seem to be experiencing this already. Left a message for my advisor re: the possibility to attempt to clep out of d.e. classes....hmm...that was Mon......still waiting for a return phone call.

If it's Jennifer Moore---I believe that she is working part time and there are a ton of students trying to get in....so perhaps she is taking longer than normal. "Normally" she is on the ball and not delayed.

Take a look at this link from the CinState website, because I think it may answer your questions regarding testing out. I swear, I think they try to make EVERY ONE take the stupid DE Math Classes.

Go to page 70 of 262 in the catalog for the test out information.

Also--make sure to start your immunizations early so you get the three HepB shots complete over 6 months time...

I've been admitted into the program and was hoping to start EF term. I had to get my STNA this summer before I could start the actual PN classes. I have physical and 2step done, but is the Hep B required to be completed prior to start, I mean all three steps of the vaccine completed? Now that I've read your post, I'm trying to figure out if this is going to throw me into a six month delay now.

You know, I was told that I had to have all three steps of the HepB done, and in my case the timing worked out. But the other day--our instructor went over "who is behind on vacs" or TB tests, stating that you could not go to the clinical site until paperwork was submitted showing that you are up to date. I know that one person said they had just gotten their last HepB so that rule may have changed.
