Northwest Mississippi Community College LPN Program

What's up guys! I made this thread for others aspiring to get into the LPN programs on all of Northwest's campuses. I too am waiting on a letter. Hopefully we will have them this week. I wanted to know what campus you're attending, your Teas score, and why nursing (or LPN specifically)? Maybe we will end up in classes together! I'll go first.

I'm aspiring to get into the LPN program at Northwest Oxford. I chose the LPN path because I missed the deadline for the ADN programs and BSN programs in the state and I can't just do anything while I wait around. My ultimate goal is BSN, but there's nothing wrong with starting small. I heard that LPNS are much more advanced as far as the hands on skills, and the bridge programs mean that I won't skip a beat. I feel I'll be better prepare this way. My overall Teas was a 83.3. I'm currently waiting on my letter!

Good Luck! I understand the starting small concept. I also feel that a slow start is better than not starting at all. I recently got accepted into a ADN program with the intent to bridge to BSN. As fr me, I know that the longer I waited to go back to school, the harder I was making it for myself to get back into that mindset.

So even if you don't get in this upcoming semester, keep applying. Don't give up on your dreams. Once you've made it to a destination, people rarely ask you what route you took to make it there.

That's awesome! I just got in today. My ultimate goal is RN and I won't hesitate to apply after I'm done with this. What's the job outlook like for LPNs? I know I have to work at least a year before I can apply for a bridge program, but I wanted to know if it'll bre difficult getting one.

Congrats on getting in! I received your private message but I am unable to reply due to lack of activity on the site as of right now! Again, congrats! And we are all nervous, but I'm sure you'll do great! We need more male nurses in the field! :) Keep me updated on how it all goes, sounds like we both start at the same time :)
