Lpn program at quincy college?

deaglemck · Jan 17, 2012

I was considering doing their LPN program but I think I'm going to just apply to the RN instead--even though it's impossible to get in. I was told that for LPN your grades on the accuplacer don't matter, as long as you get the required 85 in math you can apply. It's first come first serve.

The only full credit general education classes for LPN are Applied Anatomy for Healthcare Professionals and a college math class. I would suggest getting those out of the way. You can also take A&P1 and A&P2 instead of the Applied Anatomy. You would have a better understanding if you could take A&P1 and 2 instead. Maybe one this semester then one over the summer?

You could also take nutrition, growth and development, and Microbiology if you wanted to get those out of the way. You can wait and take them in the program though, because in the program they're only 1 hour a week classes, whereas now it would be the 3 hours, 2 days a week type.

But as a side note, if you are able to, get as many classes done prior to the program as possible. When I was going for LPN I was planning on taking Anatomy and Physiology 1, Math, and Growth and development during the spring semester. Over the summer I was going to take A&P2 and Nutrition.
