Kennedy King College

Published

:D Hello, my name is Talisha Rodgers. I'm 26yrs old the mother of two wonderful little boys (3 &1) I recently started to apply at different school for LPN. I live in Elgin, IL and my Community College(E.C.C.) waiting list is almost 3 years. My mother who an RN thought I should try a Chicago City College. After a week I have decided on Kennedy King College. Just wondering if any of you ever attend and how was the teacher? the class size etc? I still have pre-req to take which I am taking this summer. Just a little advice would be great!!! If you know of any family/friend that attend KKC for Nursing please share. :bowingpur

Thanks You and Be Blessed

I applied @Truman and Malcolm X. I"m done with all my nursing prereqs , except Microbiology which I'm taking right now at Truman. They have very good science faculties. My current GPA is > 3.7 From my experience, try not to take 2 science courses back to back because it's the science GPA they looking at when they select students for nursing their program. so you need to get the best grade possible.That mean As and Bs. Just my :twocents:

Thanks. I had the chance to look at a lot more school in Chicago. I like Truman but there something about Kennedy King that I love. I have heard so much about their Nursing Program and the Nurse that have been there all love K.K.C. Do you know of any people that have been there in last few years? Thanks Be Blessed

I suggest you type in city colleges of chicago and see what other students have to say about it. Thats all I have to say. Google it and search it on allnurses. Its all pretty much true.

Hello,

I am also living in the chicago area. I am currently working on my last pre req to apply for lpn programs. I also have two little boys! I have been trying to explore all of my options, considering the fact that my two little ones take up a lot of my time. Have you looked at all into online programs? If so what do you think? I really want to try to make this work, but not sure. I also just applied to Wilbur Wright community college LPN program, its located in humboldt park. If i get in, i will start in june.

First, thanks for replying. I personal don't want a online school, I learn better in classes vs the online process.I have heard alot about Wilbur Wright College and especially there LPN Programs. That also a school chose of mine. Good luck, and K.I.T. with that.

However, I have decided to start my Pre-Reqs course over the summer and work(FT)

After a lot of back and forth and wanting to start the next avaible course I took a breath and just decided that I wanted to be a "great nurse" not a fly by get this class over with so I can make X $$$. It was then that I decided to take my basic English, Math and then next semester do Psych 201 and maybe a Bio 226(as I have heard that doing them back-to back_ is not a good idea.)then Bio 227. Hopefully, I start next yr

Yes, I was informed they had a waiting list NOW:crying2:... so I won't be attending there school after all. I have decided to attend a school much closer to my own house(I live in Elgin) about 15-20 minutes closer that Chamberlain in Addison. Looking to start in June next year as I am taking my Pre- Reqs course now.

Good Luck to you
