I just got accepted into LPN school!!

Published

I got my acceptance letter for LPN school today! It was from Medgar Evers in NYC for the spring 2015 semester!

I was pretty sure I would get in since I'm almost done with my BA in psych and I started college as a nursing major and completed 1 clinical semester in an RN program in which I did really well, but having the acceptance in hand feels much different.

I only applied to 2 schools (Medgar Evers and Trocaire, in Buffalo), and couldn't really decide which was my top choice, so I'm about 98% sure I'll be going to Medgar Evers starting next month!!

My plan is to start with LPN, and later on, if I want, go for my RN, but this feels like the right step for now. Like I said, I did 1 semester in an RN program, and then I dropped out, not because I didn't like it (I loved it), but because of personal things going on in my life, and because of immaturity. People have been asking why I'm going the LPN route, and the short answer is because I can work sooner and there's always room for advancement.

Anyone else starting Medgar Evers this Jan?

Congrats! I plan on bridging through my entire nursing journey. I justed finished my first LPN semester, 1 down 2 to go. LPN-RN, then RN-BSN, and I may go on. Best wishes!

Congrats! I teach an LPN program and many of my students use this as the first step of their nursing career; it allows them to have a better income as they work their way up the nursing ladder. There are any apps available to help LPN students master concepts and content, and study for the NCLEX when the time comes. Take a look on the Google Play store.

Thanks. I might move up the nursing ladder, and I might not. It's too early to say. But yes, part of why I chose LPN is because I can get to work more quickly and make money and there's always the option of advancing.

Congrats I'm doing the same exact route I started as a RN student dropped out for personal reason now I'm in a LPN program and LOVE that I took this route! Good luck with EVERYTHING!

No problem! And yes & no! Yes because it's smaller compared to the rest of cunys, no because at times it seemed to be disorganized like most schools, but the worse thing for me was the fact that a lot of students didn't care so it would be a lot of interruptions. But as long as you focus don't socialize you will do great!
