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
_______________________________________
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
1: what date you start/ school name Start Aug 5 at Canton City School of Nursing, Canton, Oh
2: how long is your program 11 months
3: why are you becoming an lpn.. I have worked as an STNA for well over 11 years now.. I have always known that I wanted to be a nurse, I just was never ready to commit to the schooling
4: how much is your program ~$12,000
5: how many lecture hrs, and clinical hrs Not Sure..
3: Love helping people, most cost-effective way for me to begin my nursing journey, like the fact that I can make a decent living while pursuing my other nursing goals
4: how much is your program Around $6000
5: how many lecture hrs, and clinical hrs: not sure. But classes are 9am-3pm MW and 6:30am-1pm TTh
3) I'm becoming an LPN because: (1) It's my plan b just in case I don't get into the BSN program at Rutgers I should find out between today and tomorrow (2) It will allow me to work and finish up school I grad May 2014 with my BSW I will be completing the LPN program at the same time and then will go on to apply for the accelerated program. It will give me he much needed experience while allowing me to work and support my family at the same time.
4) Program cost: the program will cost me about 10,000 because I am an out of county student
5) I'm unsure of the number of lecture/clinical hours but the clincials start the third week of October
I received my acceptance letter for the LPN program starting in Sept. 2013 at the Tennessee College of Applied Technologies.
Attending the night program which is 16 months long - M-Th 3p-9p until clinicals start.
I am so excited about becoming a nurse - I plan to pursue my RN shortly after this program. I love taking care of people and want to be a great role model for my sons, ages 11 & 15.
The program I am going through is around $6K.
At this point, I'm not sure of our # of hours clinical vs lecture. We have orientation on August 20th and I can't wait. We did have pre-req classes this year though which they haven't done before, so I already have A&P under my belt with a B+ in that class.
1: what date you start/ school name : August 19, 2013 @ Northwest Mississippi Community College

3: why are you becoming an lpn.. : The reason I want to become an LPN is that it has always been a passion of mine. I love taking care of people. I guess you could say that it is in my blood. It has only become possible since all of my children are now grown and on there on. Now I have plenty of me time.
