Wow! Thanks so much EVERYONE who posted on this! I was trying to get well informed opinions...outside of close family and friends and that is just what i got!! I went to an information meeting though, after talking to my boyfriends step-mom who encouraged the accelerated 2 year program vs. the 15 mos LPN one just because I am young and have nothing holding me back. After going to the information meeting...I have MORE questions!!! :) haha. Mainly just the acceptance process. In Indiana, and probably other states too, I have to take the TEAS test in order to be recommended for this program. Has anyone taken this and can let me know about the study tools that cost around $120 for everything....before i buy them? I am going to look at my library to see if they have anything helpful. But this program seems pretty competitive, which is a good thing and how they can have a 100% NCLEX pass rate for their 1st LPN class!! Thanks so much again EVERYONE! It's good knowing that there are people willing to take time to help young people figure their life out too! There is only so much my mom, a Secretary, and my dad an engineer can help me out in my Nursing career!! Have a great day!!

Hi I am 19 years old. I have successfully completed my freshman year at Ball State, with my focus on Special Education. I have decided to go with my heart, and change my major to nursing. There is a school in my area called MedTech College. It is a fully accredited nursing school and a high percentage pass the boards once complete with their studies but it is only a 15 month program for the LPN. Here is my question, it is sort of a 2 part question: Does this sound too good to be true? Like, will i really be able to learn everything to become an LPN in merely 15 months!? And...I would ultimately want to go back to school and get a higher degree while working. Does this seem like a good idea, has anyone done this and have any advice they could give me? Thanks!:nuke:
