Does anyone have any information on the LVN program in Orange Texas? Do they time their tests? Is it hard? Has anyone done the upward mobility program out there? Is it better to do the LVN-RN program or the 2 year ADN program? Do you learn a lot more doing the LVN first?

I am in the ADN program and its really crammed. There are many students that are struggling with nursing patho, so starting next year they are making nursing pathophysiology a prerequisite. The nursing classes itself are good, but everything is so crammed. There are some students that are doing just fine. If you're an organized person and study every night, you shouldn't have any problem in the ADN program. Hope this helps!

Yes they do accept transfer students, go to www.lamar.edu and set up an appointment with Christina Guishanas to see if your credits will transfer to Lamar.

Do you have any information on the ADN program at MCNeese? Do you guys have to take nursing pathophysiology? And are the tests really difficult? I am in the Lamar University ADN program and I am thinking about transferring to MCneese if they take my credits. Are you able to work and attend nursing school?

I am currently in the 1st semester of the ADN program. There were 40 students chosen and about half are failing right now. Pathophysiology is extremely hard, the nursing classes aren't so bad. It is very hard if you are working or have children. Many students had to quit their jobs because of their grades. The tests are timed, giving you one minute per question. They do test review after the test so you are able to find out your grade. The reason I wanted to get into the ADN program is because I wanted to complete the program in 2 years but I wish I would have applied to BSN program or LVN program. And to be honest I am really not learning anything because they are moving so fast in the ADN program. Everything is being crammed and I hate cramming. But some students are doing just fine but not many. As for me, I am failing nursing pathophysiology and I have to make a 92 on the last exam, all other classes I am doing just fine. I will try my best to pass patho but I have been looking to go to other schools just in case I fail patho. I hope this helps!!!!!!!!

I am currently attending Lamar Beaumont and I am in the ADN program. My grades in A&P were A's and a B in micro. The ADN program is crammed and hard. I am in the 1st semester and I am having trouble passing patho. Some students have problems with health assessment. If you can pass nursing patho, you will not have a problem. You can go to the website www.lamar.edu or call the nursing department to find out about your prerequisites. I would not recommend the ADN program in Beaumont to anyone. The information is crammed and it can be difficult for some people, especially those who are working or have a family. They accepted 40 students for the adn program and about half is failing. If you don't have children or bills and you don't procrastinate, you will do just fine. Hope this helps.
