Lamar University

Published

I wanted to know if there is anyone the nursing program at Lamar University. Or anyone applied there. I heard some information about the school and it is not good. So if anyone can tell me their experience. Thanks.

Specializes in ICU.
Sorry if I offended you Ketcia, didn't mean to. I have been to visit it a few times, I am from the Houston area. That was my impression of Beaumont, and my two best friends actually grew up in Beaumont and have families that have lived there for years, and they feel the same way about it as I do. Maybe I just saw the bad part of town, and it would be a major adjustment for people from a big city, but I'm sorry if that offended you. :o

No problem...and yes it would be hard for someone coming from a big city. Some people are looking for the change, some are not. I was looking for a change that's why I left. I don't plan on going back because I plan on raising my family in Montreal...long way from Beaumont eh? But, it would be good for someone who is looking for somewhere slow-paced and quiet. You sure could get a lot of studying done:chuckle

I am currently in the 1st semester of the ADN program. There were 40 students chosen and about half are failing right now. Pathophysiology is extremely hard, the nursing classes aren't so bad. It is very hard if you are working or have children. Many students had to quit their jobs because of their grades. The tests are timed, giving you one minute per question. They do test review after the test so you are able to find out your grade. The reason I wanted to get into the ADN program is because I wanted to complete the program in 2 years but I wish I would have applied to BSN program or LVN program. And to be honest I am really not learning anything because they are moving so fast in the ADN program. Everything is being crammed and I hate cramming. But some students are doing just fine but not many. As for me, I am failing nursing pathophysiology and I have to make a 92 on the last exam, all other classes I am doing just fine. I will try my best to pass patho but I have been looking to go to other schools just in case I fail patho. I hope this helps!!!!!!!!:rolleyes:

Does anyone have any information on the LVN program in Orange Texas? Do they time their tests? Is it hard? Has anyone done the upward mobility program out there? Is it better to do the LVN-RN program or the 2 year ADN program? Do you learn a lot more doing the LVN first?
