LPN program at Columbus State

I'm not sure about the LPN program, but the RN program accepts applications twice a year: starting in January for fall quarter and sometime in the summer for spring quarter.

Yes, you do have to have your prereqs completed before applying.

Thanks for the info! That is going to suck if that is the case for the PN program too :) In this case I won't be able to apply until January 2007....that would not be so bad if I could start with the spring class instead of the fall class.

The winter application period is for fall applicants and the summer application period is for the following spring's applicants.

thought i would update. i met with an extemely unhelpful advisor at columbus state. i found out that they are accepting apps this august for the spring of 2007 class and accepting more apps maybe around january 2007 for the fall 2007 class. do a little ways off:( she said that you could be fininshing up your pre reqs the same quarter apps are being accepted and still be eligible to apply. so that is good!

hi

I'm graduating next week from the LPN program there. Do you know the name of the advisor you spoke to?

michelle-

i can't remember her name right this moment, but she had blond hair. she was really stressed and not very helpful. i hope i don't ever have to deal with her again! congrats on graduating soon! how did your application process go? ie. did you apply in the summer for spring etc...? is there a lot of job opportunities out there for ya? good luck!

hi

I would try to contact Sherry Bockus, the program director, or Sharon Ward, who is her assistant. Try to get to Sherry if you can, since I think that Sharon is slow getting back to you sometimes. I think they just pretty much take apps all the time, and then fit you in when they can. I don't know about now, but when I started there was no waiting list, so my friend and I got right in. We just applied as soon as we had all but one or two of our prereqs done, and we were scheduled to finish them the next quarter. I think it was January, and we started in September.

All the jobs I've heard of are in ltc or homecare. Which works for me, since I'm hoping to start in the RN program next year.

If you have your LPN license, you can apply anytime, and they get you into the RN in the first available space, since you don't have to take all of the classes, you get to skip some.

Good luck!

Hi,

I completed the LPN program at CSCC in 2006, and I thought it was a good program. It was stressful at times, but you will find that with any program. I enrolled in their LPN program because the RN programs at that time were wait listing people. I would recommend completing this program to you..if you haven't already enrolled. I am now completing an LPN to RN program, and I feel that CSCC's LPN program prepared me for the program. I wish you luck in your education.

hi am trying to get in to cscc for LPN progaram and i heard their progam is too long did anyone know anything about it? thanks

My FAVORITE instructor from the RN program just left to go to the LPN program at CSCC :)

Although I'm pretty sure the LPN program is 6 quarters and I know the RN program is 7 quarters. For an extra 10 weeks, why not just go RN?

Hello are you in the RN program? I am an Lpn graduate at cscc. I have to take the hesi for the Lpn to RN program an I was trying to see if you or anyone you know have taken the hesi and was it hard? Thanks!

Yep I'm 6th quarter RN at CSCC. I posted about the HESI in one of the other threads :)
