Depending if you have micro or not the PN program is 5 days a week. The generic is 3 days. The LPN program is accelerated and moves much faster than the generic program; however, the generic program gets more in depth than the LPN

1 year for LPN and 1 year for transition to RN. If you have all pre-reqs complete for the transition you can apply immediately after the LPN program other wise you may have to wait a semester and finish those pre-reqs

@nohlsson1 the shots/titers that we have to have done. I'm pretty sure I have had them all as a kid except the tdap which I think was about 3 years ago. Do they have to be more recent then that or just have my shot record and I'll be fine? I figured I would ask before I call Nancy.

I honestly can't remember the time frame for them. If I recall correctly almost everyone ended up getting it done all over. If you google the timeframe for them through the health department it should give you a better idea. At the end of your first year everyone will have to get the two-step PPD again. The school pays for a new background check and fingerprint check but you have to pay for your drug test for the second year out of your own pocket. That is what we are all going through right now

Wow I just saw the time frame most of them have to be within the past three years...so I have to get all of them again...isn't that shot overload?!

If you go onto the PHSC website under course schedule select spring 2016 on Porter campus and I believe is under nursing specialty
