  3. CT tech lpn program

    Michael_Espelin replied to TEE1978's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Yeah, it is definitely an expensive, and tough program. The good news is, you pay more but it's just a year long program, as opposed to 2 years for a CC or 4 year BSN that would cost A LOT more than...

    Michael_Espelin replied to akiara's topic in LPN, LVN Students
