Kaplan College New LPN program

lfh79 · Jan 3, 2011

I'm starting the LVN program at Kaplan on January 10th. I am very excited. I know $29k is a lot to pay for the VN program but it's worth it because I will be attending a bridge program after probably at Carrington. Kaplan is a fully accredited college. Here is a website for accredited VN schools. BVNPT - California Accredited Schools

Best of luck to all of you pursuing this career!!:) :nurse:

Is the Kaplan College Las Vegas LPN program a *fully* accredited *nursing* program? I looked online, and employers are only looking for students who have graduated from a *fully* accredited nursing program- NOT provisionally accredited. Please let me know ASAP!!!

Kaplan is NOT accredited. I'm sorry to say! Only to sit on the NCLEX. They are not an approved school with the US Dept. of education. Furthermore. I understand that they are trying to gain an accreditation, but IF they are approved, it will only be a National and not a Regionally accredited school, which is what you need to have in order to transfer any credits to any JC or UC. I hope this helps to clarify.

My advice is to check the Nevada State Nursing Board website: http://www.nursingboard.state.nv.us/ this link will answer all your questions regarding the programs. You can contact them to make sure your program is approved. With the new schools here in Las Vegas, they all fall under provisional accrediation you can read more in detail on the Nursing Practice Act links on the state board site. How is the program so far? Good luck to you.

The college will be posted on the state website and is approved, as I mentioned previously, but only to sit on the boards. If you plan on taking classes and transferring them to a JC or UC, you will only be able to transfer to University Phoenix. You can also look at the US dept. of education website. It will list schools that hold National and Regional accreditation. Kaplan is not listed, but they are trying to gain National accreditation. Regional schools do not accept credits from Nationally accredited school. You will be able to take your state boards for nursing. I hope that helps to clarify :-)

Kaplan College is not regionally accredited. Their credits will not trans to Univ of Phoenix because they are a regionally acredited school - the same reason they will not trans to UNLV, NSC, CSN. That school operates on a lower level then the above listed schools.

I would not spend that kind of $$$ for non-trans classes - and you should double check if Kaplan Univ will take, they may not.

University of Phoenix is not accredited with the Nevada Board of Nursing as per their website

Is anyone in the LPN prgram at Medtech , Indy campus? Where do they send you for your clinicals? Are you able to find

jobs after graduation? I have been an MA for 14 years and I am finding I get as much pay or more as an MA.

Thanks

I am attending medtech starting April 11! I too asked that question and the answer I got back was it depends on what they have available !? Are you going to attend?
