Denver LPN Concorde

Published

I wanted to ask if anyone has graduated this year or last year from Concorde LPN. If so have you gotten a good job. I'm scared to start as LPN because I eventually want to be a BSN. I just want to get in the field now to get experience and start since I'm 44 and starting over.

Thank you

Ryan

Why would you be scared? You'd still be a licensed nurse. If you're afraid of being an LPN, then go straight for your RN.

I think just scared that you may not get a good enough job to pay the $20 k got the school

I graduate from Concorde - Kansas City campus June 15th and have a job offer for $26 in a sub acute rehab. Most my classmates have job offers between $23-$26 an hour. Nobody cares where you go to to school at all that matters is if your pass your boards and have your license

Thank you KCMURSE!! I appreciate your response. You did the LPN program or RN? I guess some of the locations for Concorde have both

I want to get more opinions on Concorde too. I am considering applying for the Denver location and either doing LPN or ADN. I suppose it would make more sense to go the ADN route.

Lady on the phone told me there basically are no prereqs to get in, which was a little unnerving. I know it's an expensive program, but I just need to start working. I am considering getting my CNA license in June, wonder if I could work nights while in the program to pay rent?

Any other opinions on Concorde, please do tell!

They no longer have an ADN program just LPN. I'm in CNA Class now. Looking at going to get EKG CERTIFICATION and phlebotomy to add to resume. I heard it's hard to work and do nursing school.

You still looking at Concorde?? I'm just finishing up my CNA and was thinking of getting ready to take their entrance test HESI in a few weeks then decide if I can get enough Free Money with Financial Aid so its not so pricy. it $26 or $27K for only LPN.

Ryan, curious if you decided to go to Concorde? I'll be 41 this month, in similar shoes it looks like, and needing an LPN immediately, and then would like to work on RN in following years. The expense at Concorde and the question marks of that program transferring to other schools is my main concerns. Did you get decent financial aid? Curious on the overall result of your experience there, if you ended up going Concorde route. Thanks.

I have just been taking prerequisites towards RN. I have been also taking prerequisites towards LPN at Emily Griffith because it's nationally accredited and has ACEN APPROVAL!! Plus it's just under $11k and Concorde is $28k I believe.

The only downside to Emily is you have to wait till August to start core LPN Program but Concorde starts I think every few months. Also someone said they are bringing back RN Program at Concorde... So I would call both schools to get options. I hope this helps!!
