Hello is anyone here currently enrolled or completed COD's LPN program? I just got my acceptance letter and was curious as to how the program is run. What are the typical hours in class? Are you being taught the info needed to pass NCLEX? How are the instructors? Thanks for any info you can provide?

Given the number of large hospitals who are no longer hiring new LPN (and associate's degreed nurses) I would very hesitant to start a LPN program unless it was practically free and led to an RN bridge. No sense in wasting your time and money on a career with limiting opportunities.

There is an RN bridge program at COD. Therefore, one could go from CNA > LPN > RN all at COD.

What was your GPA and score on the entrance exam?

Don't listen to anyone about not doing an LPN program...yeah, we all know hospitals aren't hiring LPN's..but there are PLENTY of opportunities and it is NOT a waste of money. I just graduated and took my NCLEX-PN and within a WEEK, had 3 job offers(yes, LTC, but still a JOB). I am sure COD will be great. You will learn a lot and you have the opportunity to bridge to RN right away.
