I am a lpn in the suburban cleveland area and I am looking a for a cleveland lpn to rn program too. i have research all of the typical programs and they all seem a bit off putting. I finally looked in the kent state university program and it seems to be the most flexible of the lot. they have morning, evening and weekend program. also in columbus i do knlw that columbus state has a lpn to rn program. hondros seems to be very popular in your area. its a bit expensive but worth it. we just got one here in cleveland but its not as recognized as it is in columbus ohio. if your looking to become an advanced practice nurse i would go to a state school were the credits transfer easily. i hear a lot of nurses say that they want to advance to the next level but rush into programs that are springing up everywhere but hit closed doors everywhere because the credits dont transfer, think about where you want to go in nursing and then pick your program. remember that every role in nursing is valid but you must prepare for the role that you feel called to have. I am not critising any nursing program but be very careful of your decision
