Is there anyone who is currently going through the application process for Greater Lowell Technical HS LPN Program. I am interested in applying for the Evening Program but am wondering if anyone else is currently in contact with the school and how things are going for you? Also, if anyone from the class of 2017-2018 has completed the program please let us know how it went for you, what was the outcome? Sincerely,

When choosing an educational program for your LPN or RN you must look at the first time NCLEX pass rates. This could be the difference between wisely spending $10,000+ or completely wasting your money. The NCLEX, Great Nursing Classes Lead to Excellent eXam Scores. When seeking a program to begin your LPN or RN training it is important for you to look at the programs NCLEX pass rates. I would say a good measure of determining your probability of successfully passing the NCLEX the first time you take it is to aim for programs with a first time NCLEX pass rate of 90% or higher for the past three years of graduating classes. Why is the pass rate so important, isn't it just a measure of the students abilities in previous classes? No, nothing could be further from the truth. When looking at the NCLEX pass rates you are able to evaluate whether or not the educational institution does a good job of educating their students and preparing them for licensure. It is important to evaluate the institution before blindly applying and entering into a program without knowing what the outcome of the program would be. This also makes for bad judgement on your part which is important for the nursing career. Invest your time wisely and do your research. It is much better to spend an extra $3,000 - $5,000 on a college or technical school that gives you a 10-20% higher chance of passing your NCLEX on the first time. Don't waste your money on the schools that are not pushing out star students, invest wisely.
