Lower Columbia College (LCC) LPN-RN 2021-2022

Updated:   Published

I'm starting this thread, because I couldn't find one for this year's application process for Lower Columbia (LCC)'s LPN-RN program. Please share any helpful information! What are you using to study for the TEAS and Kaplan exams?

Specializes in Geriatric Case Management.

My clinicals are starting July 3! In the e learning program they are only in the last 2 months. I will be at valley in Renton but locations span all the way from Everett to Renton to Longview and Vancouver.  Clinical times vary for example mine are Wed sat and sun but some groups have them all weekdays it really just depends on where you are placed. Clinical is July then August is preceptor in preceptor you follow the schedule of your preceptor and you don't know that until the end of July after clinical. 

Also, yes easy to work full time for sure! I did it's just when the 3rd week of June comes and into the Summer you are pretty much on their terms! 

I would have to say the Kaplan was easier because it was nursing knowledge and not so much stuff I learned a long time ago in pre requisites.

LOL it really is! And if you get an email before then it's probably not a good thing they send out rejection emails first!

I also got my notification on August 6 last year.  The wait was agonizing, but I remember to this day how happy I was when I got the acceptance e-mail.  It's been a very intense year, but overall it's been a good experience compared to another LPN to RN program I was attending before this one.

There is clinical sites all over western Washington, in Everett, Renton, Olympia, Chehalis and Longview. They will try to set you up closest to your home. I got 86 on the TEAS and 79 on the Kaplan to equal a score of 165. I believe everyone who scored above 153 got in this year.
