LVN Program at Weatherford College

Published

Hey everyone, hope this is the right spot for this..

I am currently checking out Weatherford for their LVN Program and they have a compass test you have to take. I was wondering since i've already had college algebra, then do i have to take this test. It seems like its just a placement test to see where you are in math...I will call the school on Monday but wanted to know if anyone knew about the compass test. If i can get out of it, it would be nice..lol

I actually only have 3 more science classes to finish before i can apply to an RN Program, I have every class completed except a&PI , a&pII and microbiology but i figured if i go for my LVN, then work for awhile, and then bridge to RN it will be quicker than me taking one science class for the next 3 semesters, then going for RN. I dare not take more than one science at a time, i would die..:chuckle

i'm currently at TCC, taking chemistry and have a B so far..:D

If you can answer about the Compass Test, i would appreciate it....thanks!!

It's a requirement for the program... they use it as an entrance exam. It's not bad at all though.

forgot to mention - if you get you're a&P's done before the start of classes, you don't have to take the LVN a&p class... one less class with h.w. to worry about during the first semester.

also - if you can take your sciences during the summer at TCC, a lot of friends have told me it's insane, but it's abreviated and they'd much rather do it that way than the semester-long version.

good luck in your endeavors!

I dont know about doing a fast paced summer session with a&p, that will certainly drive me insane..but i might just be crazy and do it to see how it goes!

If i take the a&p's in the summer and microbio in the fall then i might as well just apply for the adn/rn program at tcc in stead of weatherfords lvn program.

I'm still going to weatherford tomorrow and turn in my transcripts and take the compass and at least see if i get in, it doesnt start till august and in the mean time i'll see about doing the a&p in the summer

Thanks for wishing me luck!!

Fran, the deadline was April 1st, I'm not going to weatherford, i've decided to look either in Oklahoma (where i'm from) or wait til next spring to apply at weatherford...if you wait til next spring the deadline is Oct 1
