I am trying to help someone find an LPN program in Dallas-Fort Worth or the surrounding area. Does anyone know of any? I couldn't find much on-line.
I appreciate any input you can offer.
Thanks!

I believe El Centro, Hill College and Weatherford College all have programs but I am sure there are others. Try this link to the BNE website for more information ftp://www.bne.state.tx.us/vnschools.pdf

When searching, make sure you are searching for LVN, not only LPN.
Texas uses the term Licensed Vocational Nurse, LVN, rather than LPN.
Good luck!
Thanks very much for all the info - I appreciate it!

Check out Collin County Community College. I believe they too have a LVN program. Melissa

There is also Trinity Valley Community College in Kaufman (30 miles east of Dallas). They have an LVN program that goes from January to December.

BTW, Concorde is currently up to $18.5K. Even after grant and loan, I'd still have to dish out over $6K. Ouch. Going to TCC for RN. Much cheaper.

Grayson County College in the Sherman/Denison area also has an LVN program as well as a LVN-to-RN program. I'm in McKinney, and it is only a 25 minute drive just north of here on 75. It's not a bad drive at all from here with little to no bad traffic.
