Looking for a LPN program 15k or under

Published

Does anyone know of an LPN program that cost 15k or under and takes federal financial aid? I do know of cmk healthcare that has a lpn program that cost 15k but they dont take financial aid. Are there any others in the chicagoland area that Im not aware of?

I am looking specifically for private programs, not community colleges.

Thanks guys.

I've graduated from CMK, 15k but, true, no financial aid... Check on PCCTI, their tuition was also 15k, unless something changed...Also Northbrook school of healthcare and Americare Technical Institute might have tuition around 15k, check on those too

DON'T GO TO CMK! They have very low passing rate of LPN. I very regretted to take their prerequisites Pharm course. It waste my time and money. The instructor is always late at least 30 minutes. He only thought one chapter for 1.5 hours and the rest of time is for an OPEN BOOK exam in one course. It is a 5.5 hours course. They are stealing my money. In his syllabus, he only covers 14 chapters of total 59 chapters of the textbook.

I have graduated from CMK, passed my boards from the first attempt and got hired 10 days after my license was issued...

Pass rate was not good, I agree, but the school was not bad at all... Btw, do not judge the whole program based on pharmacology course... Nowhere is perfect, especially not if you plan to spend less money ;)

Go to a community college, where it will cost you less than 3 grand.

Community colleges all the way. I got my ADN from College of DuPage which is arguably one of the best RN programs in the state. Most of the community colleges are really good, depending on what County you're in.
