i will be attending Louisiana technical college in Jan 2005. i would like to talk to someone who has graduated or is currently enrolled in this LPN program.I will be attending at the Natchitoches campus. Thanks for any and all replys.

Wow, i'm really lucky in the tuition dept. It's $333.00 a sememster at LTC. Of course that doesn't include books and other supplys, uniforms etc. So all total my tuition will be $999 for the entire program and thats good because I don't qualify for grants and I dont want to borrow any money. I will be so.......happy when Jan. gets here and I get started. It seems like a long time but it'll be here before i know it.............:) :) :)

oh yeah it 330 a semster, out here too, but i think it comes out to being almost 5 semesters by the time it is over. I think and the other cost includes the tuition and book etc, so it run aproximately i think 2500-2700 for the tech out here. I have a LTC state wide calendar and on a average of i think each semester is about 4 months, because u get off all the holidays like a normal university, but u go all summer, so really 18 months of a school year is 5 semsters;), Let me just say i started this august, which is not possible any more, because they changed it;). BUt any way my first semster would be 4 months, second 4, third 4, fourth 4, this equal 16 months, but u still have 2 more, which gives u another semster or a half semster, so really your tuition wil be 5X330=1650.The summer semester are included in this too;)

Did u ask them for a calendar?, it will better help u understand how they do thier semsters, i too was thinking like u did untill they advise me that the semsters would be 5 not 3, because it set up like the university semesters sort of:) please ask them for a calendar :)

I don't think it really take slonge rthan 18 months, but it set up to be like 5 semsters, becaus eu get u know the 2 weeks off for christmas, etc, the normal breaks like a university takes. well 16 month is better than 18, andif it 16 month that 4 semesters because it a fall, spring , summer than another fall semster. I hope it all works out for u:) good luck

I went to LPN school at a Louisiana Technical College.They tell you fourteen months but neglect to tell you that what they are estimating is classroom time.It takes longer due to all the breaks and holidays.Almost closer to two years.lol..Oh well its worth it.You get the great financial help.I was trained by Charity Hospital Nurses.BTW Godswill I know a lady who used to teach at LGMC

named Jean Broussard.She is wonderful.God bless you I hope you do great.

how long would it be for RN (BS) degree? In some states it only takes 1 yr. to be a LPN. Why is there such a difference in time from one state to another?

It depends on the state and the school in that state. I think it takes most people 4 1/2-5 years to get a BS and about 3 to get a ADN. I am taking this route hoping I get some experience while doing my pre req and cut some time off my schooling to get my ADN or BSN, i have not really decided yet. I will see where i can get in first :uhoh21: As far as the program i am in it seems to be 12 1/2- 13 months, it is ran by a hospital so all the clincals and stuff can be done there, thats why i figure it does not take as long.
