Yes, an RN program would be best. Unfortunately, due to time & distance constraints I need to gain as much ground as I can in the next year and the only way to do so is a 14-16 month LPN program with one my local the trade schools. Thank you so much for the advice and encouragement, it's much appreciated.

Actually, I have looked in to the community college LPN option. Unfortunately the only CC in my area that offers an LPN program (that I know of) is Mt. Hood and I can't commute that far on a daily basis. Concorde, Pioneer and Apollo are all doable. I've narrowed it down to Concorde and Pioneer at this point...still not sure which one to choose though. I'm researching transferrability of credits as my intent is to go into a RN bridge program asap after achieving my LPN. Any experiences or thoughts out there on that?

Anyone out there have any feedback on Pioneer Pacific's LPN program?

Wow--I'm getting ready to take my entrance exams next week. Thanks so much for the heads up. Do you feel like you prepared to take the NCLEX?

Thank you so much for the info!

Hi, I'm just starting to look at LPN programs in the Portland area and was wondering if you looked at any of the private schools like Apollo or Concorde before MHCC? Any info you could give me would be helpful! Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on the LPN programs at either Concorde Career College of Apollo College?
