I think I have to have at least 15 posts or something like that. It won't let me click on your name

How do you private message someone? Sorry, new this this board! Thanks

How is the program so far? Just really want to hear from someone that has gone thru the first year. I get how it runs now! I understand how it could not be done on a part time basis. I was looking at how LCC does theirs and thought maybe schoolcraft did it in the same manner. Did you find that you had a life outside of school? was the first year hard? Is the material complicated or just the amount of work that has to be done? Also do you have to put in community hours? How are the instructors? Sorry so many questions..I just really want to get the whole picture of how the program is! Jpride2011- how long is your wait time as of now? and yes you did respond to my other post. I just wanted more info on schoolcrafts program. It seems that there is hardly any posters from this school. Thanks again and Good luck to you :)

Hello, I have posted here before. I was wondering if anyone could give me more information on schoolcrafts nursing program. Can their Lpn program be done on a part time basis? would really love some advice from someone that has gone thru this program at least the first year of it.. I will have a ton of questions for you :) thanks!

that is good advice! thank you!

Thanks for the info!

Thanks so much for the advice! I'm new to all of this and I have not worked in 10yrs, but it is something I really want to do and always wanted to do! I will just go right for the RN! That seem that way to go! Why do you say not to take the summer LPN class! Waste of time? Does that one have clinicals? Thanks again....... you sound like you really know what you want in life at only 21 years old...good for you! I wish I had the same drive at that age...Here I am years & years have gone by and I'm starting out at the bottom! Yikes!

I will probally just go for the RN (everyone keeps telling me to just go that route). I'm almost 38 & have a long way to go, that's why I figured just do the LPN. Is that summer class for RN optional as in you don't have to take it at all or just optional for the summer. I know it is required for the LPN, but I wasn't sure for RN. Are you an ob tech right now? If so, what hospital do you work at? I would love to do something like that now to see if nursing is something I really want to do.. I'm thinking that I would have to do the CNA classes to get in the door, correct?? Sorry for all the questions, I'm trying to get everything in order, so I can get moving on something....I'm not getting any younger :)

Thanks for the info! So the LPN is the same wait as the RN then? I kinda figured that the LPN is the same as RN (looking at their website), but I just wanted to be sure! I have to start at ground zero as far as all the math, english, psych, biol & so on...so I do have time & I probally can only take 1 or 2 classes at the most, because we have to pay each sememster out of pocket! So that will slow me down some! Are you doing the RN or the LPN? Do you have all your classes out of the way? Thanks again for the quick response!

Hello, Just wondering if anyone could answer a few questions for me. I am interested in the LPN program at Schoolcraft! I will need to do all the pre-reqs first. A little backround I have been a stay at home mom for 10 yrs with 3 kids, and my youngest is 2, so I would like to go back to school slowly. I have to go back slowly for a few reasons. 1. Cost (I have to pay for classes 1 by 1), can't get financial aid! 2. Childcare for the 2 year old, Hubby works alot & I don't have anybody to watch the 2yr old during the day, so my classes will have to be taken at night! (my other 2 kids are in school) 3. I have a few years to get it all done (pre-reqs) until my 2 yr old goes to school full time. Then I was hoping by the time he reaches school age I would be able to do the nursing program during the day as all my kids would be in school all day! So my main questions are, 1. Is the 1st year of LPN at schoolcraft the same hours as it would be for RN? Are you in the same classes? 2. How demanding is the program? 3. What is the schedule like? ex: class one day & clinicals the other 2 days? 4. Is the wait list the same as rn? 5. Has anyone had a hard time finding work as an LPN here in Michigan? I know that hospitals do not hire LPN anymore, and I'm ok with that. Where do they hire LPNS these days? I am assuming it's LTC, Rehaps, and Doctor's offices! What is a typical starting pay? Sorry for all the questions, I'm a planner & need to know exactly what is ahead of me :) Thanks!!!!
