Fall 2013 LPN program start

I loved reading last years group, thought I would start one for this year.

I guess I will get us started...

1: what date you start/ school name

2: how long is your program

3: why are you becoming an lpn..

4: how much is your program

5: how many lecture hrs, and clinical hrs

_______________________________________ :smug:

1. My class starts after Labor day the school is Central School of Practical Nursing in VA

2. 18 months

3. I decided on LPN because the program hours works best with my family life, I can finish in 18 months and I would like to work in hospice, doctors office or outpatient surgery center. Plus, I have a 2.42 GPA from the first time I went to college that prevents me from being competitive to get into a RN/ASN/BSN school. I am still working on my science pre-requisites in preparation of a bridge program if I want to continue in the future.

4. My program is about $10,000 total start to finish

5. 866.5 lecture / 655.5 clinical

1: what date you start/ school name: September 4, 2013 OCTVS

2: how long is your program :10Months

3: why are you becoming an lpn..Becoming an LPN is the route for me because i have to take care of my household, i am a single parent of two daughters 13 & 17. I plan to go back for RN if time allows me to.

4: how much is your program $11,700

5: how many lecture hrs, and clinical hrs: unsure of the hours

1) Start: July 15, 2013

2) 11-month program

3) I'm becoming an LPN because: (1) I can be nursing in a year, and (2) it is the most sensible, financially-advantageous (in regard to scholarships, etc.), time-effective, and balanced way for me to become an RN. I'll bridge from LPN to BSN fairly rapidly, if all goes as planned, but I plan to enjoy being an LPN all along the way!

4) Program cost: Just under 6,000, from my estimate(s) of all fees, etc.

5) I'm unsure of the number of lecture/clinical hours, but I know we start clinicals two weeks into the program!

By the way, I believe I will learn more doing my nursing education this way, as I know LPN programs are "clinicals-strong."

Start: September 2013

How Long Is Program: 11 months

Why are you becoming a nurse: This is what i have wanted to do since i was young! I will continue to become a RN as soon as i graduate! This is round two i began this program last year and failed one test by TWO points and have to begin again!!!!!

Program Cost: around 9,000

Lecture Hours/ Clinicals:class mon-fri 7:30-2:30. Clinical once a week in beginning and daily toward end! Also a skills lab daily.

OMG! (Total jaw drop)

So I live in NYC and I will be attending the LPN program beginning July 15th. Guess what the cost of the LPN program there is...

Total Cost>>>>>> 25,000 (yes, total jaw drop)

The schools you guys are attending are so much cheaper I wish my program was like that.

Length of program: 18 months

Lecture Hours: Monday- Friday 5:30-10pm

1:July 15th at York County Tech School

2: 11 months Monday- Friday.

3: Because I enjoy helping people and RN school is so expensive right now.

4: $12,000

5: I have no idea anymore, all I know is it will take 11 months off the top of my head.

This is one step closer to the ultimate goal and will allow me to work while I go to school for my BSN-MSN

Total cost $8500 for the full year

So very excited to begin this journey. Good luck to everyone

5. My program is on Mondays from 8-4:30 (one class goes from 8-12, the other goes from 12:30-4:30) , Thursday from 7-3 (Clincal), and then Fridays from 8-4:30. I also have one online medication administration course, but we meet for a lab session on Mondays from 12:30-4:30.

I start on June 17 (less the 2 weeks) at CATS Edu in NJ.

It's a 11 month program.

I've wanted to become a nurse for so long, so this is one of my stepping stones to becoming an RN.

Mon -Fri 8:30am to 3:00pm

I start Sept 30

15 month program - Prism

I decided to switch careers because I enjoy helping people ,interacting ,caring and being on my feet and busy. Nursing will also equip me with skills I can use in my daily life as I am a mother of twin 4 year olds.My ultimate goal is to be an RN ,the LPN will get me in the door hopefully and will help me get into a bridge program. While it will take longer this is want works for me:)

Unfortunately my program is heck of expensive 26k!!

Not sure schedule I just passed my teas test today :)
