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

What are you all required to wear to class? First year students wear ceil blue scrubs and black or white leather shoes. Second year students wear royal blue scrubs and black or white leather shoes. We have separate uniforms for clinicals.

I am excited, next week I will go get my classroom scrubs and white leather Dansko shoes! (it's the little things..)

I hope to get a school supply list soon, they have already started the bak to school sales and I would love to save money where ever I can.
