I live in MO. and I went to a community college and the pass rate(NCLEX) for my class was 100%. Maybe you should look up the pass rates and then make a decision. I have worked with nurses that have went through the vocational schools and community college, they are all good nurses. NCLEX is the test you take after completing school to become an LPN or RN. Good Luck!!

I am also a recent H.S graduate. The choices were so many I just picked one I thought was good. The BEST thing to do is pick 3 colleges, go to the campus, talk to students whose majors are nursing and non- nursing alike and ask them how they like the school, THIS HELPS! If u know anyone who is a LVN ask them about work and school. I myself am an LPN(NY) and I do not regret being one. I am freshman in college for my RN and I will be working soon, I'm sooooo happppy that I'm an LPN, If u know your a hard worker, go for the LVN, it'll give u more experience- which probably means more pay when your an RN, you'll know most of your stuff by the time u actually pursue you RN, U can make some $, & you'll get to do what u love!. It'll be tough but try it out, GOOOOD LUCCCK!:welcome:

Thanks Im Going To Go Ahead And Check The Pass Rate!!!!thanks Again
