CMK Healthcare LPN Program

[KB24]

My friend is looking at attending an LPN school soon and she found out about CMK's LPN program. The cost of tuition is around $15,000 and the program is for 10 months.

CMK also has an agreement with Saint Xavier University to accept CMK's classes for their LPN-BSN program.

Does anyone have any more info on this school?

Edit: Can a staff member please move the thread to the IL program discussion forum? Thank you.

I just finished the cna in westmont . No problems there . I would do the lpn program there also . My hold up is that I may want to continue on to the RN . I don't want to go 4 years so I need to find out if any cc will accept my lpn course . Has anyone else looked into this ? Any info would be appreciated . Thanks in advance . Jimmy

You should check with JJC or COD nursing departments if they would accept you to their LPN to RN bridge program.

But as far as I know, they will probably ask from you to go again to standard prereq's (again Medical terminology, Anatomy I, Anatomy II, Microbiology, English 101, and maths for meds).

haha i can get a BA degree in 8 months for about 24k gosh how fast and cheap, but i am going to have to start next fall

yes, i inquired in the school and they offer the LPN program there. The cost is $15,000.00. There are certain prereqs before you get in the program, like pharmacology, english, math, anatomy & physiology, medical terminology and you have to be a CNA.

I wont have a hard time waiting in line for the community college to take some of the prereqs because they offer A&P, pharmacology and Medical Terminology at their Glendale Heights location. I think their class for westmont will start Jan. 8, 2011 and the program in GH this March 2011

[iscore123]

the A&P course i think is for $1,200.00

same thing i wanna know, this is wat scarys me in what JC will accept my credits

they will accredit your credits from CMK because i've seen alot of nursing students who took their prereqs at CMK. And also cmk is an approved school by the ISBE and Illinois Dept. of Health...

hey this might be a little taking this topic away but anyone going to the CMK campus for LPN, matter of fact of any of there classes they offer, it be nice to prob know someone when i go

just curios. has anyone looked into americare institute? here’s what i found after attending their information session.

financial aid. they are the only private lpn school in illinois approved for pell grant and federal student loans. it’s the same financial aid available at community colleges and universities. they also offer a payment plan and sallie mae loan, and accept wia grant, g.i bill, tuition re-imbursement. their fafsa school code is 041247. look them up at the fafsa website àhttp://www.fafsa.ed.gov/fotwwebapp/fslookupservlet

deposit. there is no deposit requirement ($0), provided i am approved for fafsa. there’s an application fee though, but that’s in every school. it is a far cry from what cmk is asking ($2,000 down and $1,300/monthly payment payable in 10 months).

Bryan,Americare sounds nice but they are NOTORIOUS for changing their schedules at the last minute...Just recently they changed 2 classes last minute.If someone has a job it would be hard to go to this school because your school hours will change last minute...I have 2 friends that go there and they BOTH told me that they pretty much teach themselves and the teachers show up late all the time.I also did a lil research online about this school and it did not look good.
