Beck Area Career Center - LPN?

[omgitskayc]

I was wondering if anyone has take the 11 month LPN course offered at Beck Area Career Center in Red Bud, Illinois? I am thinking about taking it but I haven't really heard any reviews on it (positive or negative). My friend heard a rumor that people who can't get accepted anywhere else go there. I'm wondering if places hire graduates from there and how difficult/worthwhile the coursework is there. Also, I don't believe they offer IV certification, so if you went there, where did you get IV certified?

Thanks so much!

Hi guys! I know the thread is kind of old but I was just wondering what you studied to prepare for the entrance exam? I've already been through first semester of a registered nursing program so I kind of know what to expect. Any advice you can give me would be appreciated! thank you!

The entrance exam for Beck is basically like a standard GED test, unless the new director has changed that, too.

I am a graduate of Beck! It is a awesome program which thoroughly trains you and gets you ready for boards. Their board pass rates are excellent! I was recommended by the state to go there! That is definitely "not the last place" to get in when you can't get in anywhere else! The instructors there are awesome! Yes, companies will choose a Beck graduate over a lot of other schools! Finding a job is not a problem if you pass Beck.
