Most LPN programs for Chicago Public High Schools have selective enrollment.
Few schools that offered this program are Percy Julian and Gwendolyn Brooks, Benito Juarez, Dunbar and Sullivan. They are under the medical & health career academy program or as they call it education to careers (CTE). Start the program during their Junior year.
Their numbers are below.
Percy Julian (773) 535-5170
Gwendolyn Brooks College Prep (773) 535-9930
Juarez (773) 534-7030
Dunbar (773) 534-9000
Sullivan (773) 534-2000
Or you can try to reach Chicago Public Schools to get a list of schools that offer the LPN program as well (773) 553-2108
I was able to find a pdf version of the program with more info here: http://sullivanhs.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CPS-CTE-Health-Sciences-2012.pdf
Hope this helps!
Would love to have assistance! In September I'll be starting the Eastern Sufflok Boces LPN program as a senior. Is this the best route to take if l want to eventually bridge to RN? The boces program will cost me close to $10,000 when all is said and done and the program is not accredited. The good thing is that I would be a certified LPN and done with my LPN only a few months after graduation of HS, but I'm wondering if I'm not better off going to community college for my LPN so at least I'll have credits to transfer.
The Chicago Public School Practical Nursing Program has been discontinued. The program's official closing date was January 20, 2015. Students enrolled in a CTE Health Sciences program have opportunities in Junior and Senior year. Eligible students can enroll in specific certification programs, such as Basic Nurse Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, and Phlebotomy.
Back when I was in high school in GA in the 90's we had a program that let the students do this from 11th to 12th grade. They had to declare a vocational track rather than college prep. In 11th grade they would go through the CNA I/II training and phlebotomy, Then in 12th they did LVN training. Once they graduated, they had a choice of continuing on to RN or not going to college at all. I thought that was a great program, but I wanted the traditional college experience so I didnt do it. Would have been great.
