Eastern Center for Arts and Technology

Hello, everyone! On Tuesday, September 2nd, 2014 I will be attending Eastern Center for Arts and Technology LPN program in Willow Grove, PA. I have recently sent my deposit and I was wondering if anyone else is attending Eastern's 129th LPN class.

Do you have college credits!

[kibird]

study study retain the information and understand the info

[Hopefulnursebetty]

Okay. Yes, I have college credits. As of now, I am taking Human development for when I bridge into a LPN-RN or BSN program.

[Hopefulnursebetty]

Yes, it is not only right to retain it but understand it and apply it to real life situations. Patient safety is number one!

[kibird]

Ima do that too. Ima get my rn at montco. Bc u can test out of classes. Then do my bsn online

[kibird]

I have college credits too. I was going to apply to Abington nursing school but I missed the deadline this year. So I decided to do the lpn route then apply to rn

[kibird]

My only thing was finding a job as a lpn. Bc I hear they are phasing out of hospitals but temple hires lpns.

[Hopefulnursebetty]

I want to apply to Abington as well. Yes, they are phasing out LPN jobs in hospitals but HUP uses LPNs for hospice and their rehabilitation center. Main Line Health uses them for outpatient and their drug rehab program. And I know the VA is always hiring LPNs.

[kibird]

Yeh the va does hire lpns.... one of my friends works for an agency and makes about 30$/hr. I know a few nursing homes around my area start off close to 30$/hr or 32$/hr.

[kibird]

And definitely in NJ. They hire alot of lpns.

How did u hear about eastern? I heard it was a nice school and ran into some students when I was going for my interview. And they told me the program is good and u will b on a rn level but its hard to transfer credits.
