LPN program pre-requisites

I know a lot of us are planning to go on to get our RN, and we're focusing on the pre-reqs for that, but I was curious...what are/were the pre-reqs for your LPN program?

I am planning on attending Butler Tech Vocational School in Ohio and for the class beginning August 2007 we must complete the following before being offered a seat in the class:

-STNA certification (CNA)

-CPR/BLS card

-Medical Terminology class

-First Aid class

I'm interested to see what different programs require, so tell me, what must you do to get where you want to be?

All we had to do was take and pass the NET test (basic math and English) and get CPR certified.

My school requires a class called "Biology for Health Occupations", as well as English 101. You also have to pass a Math and English proficiency exam.

We had to have CNA certification and CPR for healthcare providers. If you don't have a college degree (associates or bachelors) you have to do TABE testing which general stuff - I didn't have to take it, so not really sure what's on it. They encourage you to have A&P and Medical Terminology because it puts you ahead in the program, but they can be completed as part of the program as well. I have taken all my other sciences to be able to bridge to RN and find that I have an easier time with some of the work because I understand all the physiology better and it just makes more sense, chemistry has also helped.
