HELP ME PLEASE!!

Published

Okay so here's the deal with me. I've been a CNA now for a little over a year, I work at a CNA School and I also work for a nursing home. I'm positive I want to do nursing and I'm positive that i want to start it off with pursuing my LPN before eventually going on to pursing higher levels of education. My only problem is finding a school and working out a schedule. I live in Fairfield county, in Connecticut. Now I don't know how many of you live around here but the Govenor of our great state of CT has decided to shut down the state-run LPN programs state-wide. So my only choices as of now are private LPN schools (20 - 40 THOUSAND DOLLAR TUITION/ 18 MONTH PROGRAM!) So I need help can someone please point me in the right direction?

CT Pixie,

Thanks I just hope that I get to where I'm supposed to be when I am. Out of curiosity you wouldn't happen to be able to recommend any NY LPN programs would you? I want to possibly start for June or Sept whichever come first :-). Thank you so much you've been a tremendous help!

Well there are only the Private ones left now since the the Moron closed all the State run schools.

There is Lincoln Tech w/campuses in Shelton, Hamden and New Britain

Stone Academy and Porter & Chester.

You can go to the CT League of Nurses website, they have all the LPN and RN schools available in CT.

Thats okay! I've gotten accepted to all of the private schools in CT however - - they're pushing 40k each..the cheapest one is up in New Britain and that tuition is just under 25k. However have you been to New Britain? It is sh*thole beyond belief. So - - as you can imagine it is nowhere near an easy decision, I think I'm going to try for a school in metro nyc as I have residence status in brooklyn. So idk. Does anyone have any idea where some LPN Schools in NY might exist?? I've called a few, emailed a few and NOTHING...NADA...ZILTCH....ZIP....ZEEROOO! So as you can imagine any kind of help would be very much appreciated!
