I attend Kaplan's LPN program. I listened to the 'bad' rep stuff but in the long run, I figure everybody takes the same test reguardless of where they went to school. It's about how YOU apply yourself more than what the school's reputation is like. Be the good apple in the bunch and you will succeed. It is pricey but if you have the grants, you do have a spot in the class, you are not getting passed over because you don't have the 'characteristics needed' for the more exspensive private schools. The Kaplan in Omaha is very close to getting a RN program soon. I heard it had something to do with getting the classes timetable compatable to the des moines RN program.
