Kennedy Review Center (lpn Program)

World Philippines

Published

HAS ANYBODY HEARD OR HAVE ATTENDED OF THIS SCHOOL? (CALLED KENNEDY REVIEW CENTER OR KRC) I AM CURRENTLY IN THE US RIGHT NOW AND PLANNING TO TAKE THERE LPN DISTANT LEARNING PROGRAM, AND I'M JUST KIND OF WONDERING IF I COULD TRANSFER THIS TO THE US WHEN I GET DONE WITH IT. HOWEVER, I FOUND OUT THAT THEY WILL BE HAVING AN ADN PROGRAM PRETTY SOON, SO I MIGHT CONSIDER OF TAKING THAT IF THEY'LL EVER HAVE IT THRU DISTANT LEARNING INSTEAD OF TAKING THERE PN PROGRAM. THAT WAY IF I DO THERE ADN PROGRAM, WHICH HOPEFULLY IS TRANSFERRABLE TO THE US (OREGON), I COULD JUST PROCEED TO BSN OVER HERE IN OR. THE REASON WHY I WANTED TO STUDY THERE IS BECAUSE OF THE COMPETITIVENESS THAT THEY HAVE OVER HERE IN OREGON AND PLUS ITS WAY CHEAPER THERE.

IF ANYONE HAVE HEARD OF THAT SCHOOL PLEASE LET ME KNOW WETHER IT'S ACCREDITED OR NOT. I WOULDN'T WANT TO WASTE MY MONEY OUT OF NOTHING. THANK YOU SO MUCH.... PLEASE RESPOND BACK IF ANYONE HAVE HEARD OR ATTENDED TO THAT SCHOOL. is thank you sooo much in advance.

Those KRC people are nothing but losers!! They will all just tell you that after graduating, you'll find work that kind of stuff.

Even if you pass nclex, you still can't work abroad or here in our country cause PN is not even recognized by PNA or other medical associations..

If somebody is planning on studying PN in any school, you better study bachelor's degree, Or maybe caregiving or EMT course.

I went to this school 3 years ago. The school will tell you lies, lies and all lies. They will not and can't help you find job here and abroad. Even if you pass the exam (nclex), you still can't work here or any part of the world. You can work if and only if you have relatives in US or canada who can sponsor you to go there. One of my former classmates was sponsored by her relatives, now she's already in canada. My other classmate when to UK, without the help of the school (KGSB). But had to pay like 200,000+ just to get there. Which is really crazy. As for me and my other former classmates who went to that school, still searching for a job, others are studying BSN. so, go figure!

And oh, by the way, the school even asked my friend who went to UK to make some kind of testimonial or something that the school helped her to find work in the UK. which is really absurd, don't you think???!! But my friend, didn't reply to their email.

would be interested in how your friend got registered in the uk as lpn isn''t recognised by the nmc and enrolled nurses haven't been trained for over a decade. i was a eng converted to rn

this is what the nmc states

we will not accept your application if you are a second level nurse or the equivalent, for

example an enrolled nurse, a licensed practical nurse, a vocational nurse, a state certified

nurse, a nursery nurse, a nurse midwife technician, a nurse aid and so on.

registering as a registered nurse or midwife if trained outside the eu

My friend who is working in the UK doesn't work as LPN there. I think she works as a Caregiver/Auxillary Nurse at a Nursing home in kent and at the same time do some paperworks (paperworks=NVQ program).

This school is saying that once you graduate they will have you take the nclez in west virginia, and once you get your license there, you can have your licensed endorsed in the state you want through reciprocity. First of all they are accredited by tesda yes but in my case I am really having some reservations on whether CA will approve the endorsement even if WV accepts my application since CA will have a thorough research on this school before doing anything. But as Kennedy Global said, the transcript does not indicate whether you had a distance learning or in campus method.

Anyone who has undergone LVN schooling in the Philippines and then was accepted by CA board please clarify.

Hi Shinyfeet,

I decided against it because although I am a US citizen, I would have to spend two months in the Philippines to do my clinicals. By the way, I am referring to Kennedy Global School of Business, not Kennedy Review Center. I don't know what is required of KRC. I know a girl that knows somebody that graduated from Kennedy Global and was able to take her boards for the practical nursing. She too was a US citizen. I'm still checking what else is out there besides these schools. I will let you know if I find something else. :) Anya16

i was wondering why you would rather take lpn when you can be an rn?

its cheaper (the KGS lpn progam is $5500, while the US based RN program is $20000 a yr) & faster ( 1 yr). While working as an LPN (beats the salary of CNAs), I could ladderize and purse ADN (which the KGS also has)

Kennedy Review, Kennedy Global and Kennedy School of Practical Nursing are not approved for LVN licensure in CA. Call the Board of the State you want to really work in and ask. The states are catching onto what these schools are doing.
