I am in NY in an LPN program and there are people from Ct in my class. It depends on where in Ct you are. My program is in Putnam-Northern Westchester BOCES in Yorktown Heights. It is about 35 - 40 Minutes from Danbury/New Milford. The Tuition is $12,600 plus books and uniforms which is about 1500-2000. It is a ft 10month program or a part time 2 years program. There is no waiting list and the only prereq is taking the TEAS entrance exam and must be over 18 years old. They are offered once a month until June, and usually fill up quickly. The program I am in runs on the normal school calendar from September until June. This year we started on Sept 6 and we graduate on June 14. Good Luck to your daughter.

I went to College. I am now in the PN program. I have more work in this full time program than I did with a 19 credit course load in college. It is very difficult but it is worth it. I dont know what programs you are looking into or where you are but the course I am in is 10 months which includes 500 hours of clinicals. I chose this route because it is cheaper and faster. I also think that working as a nurse before going for my rn will make it easier, since the clinical in NY for rn is very limited. I am in the hospital mon - wed and in the classroom thur/fri. I think getting your LPN is a great idea if you want to get into nursing. Good Luck.

For our Patho/Disease process my teacher looks for the why's when its not an actual disease. Why is she having a CS? (bc of a previous cs putting her at risk for rupture...etc) What happens during a cs? (explain the surgery breifly) What are some possible complications of a cs? (infection, hemorrhage..) My last case study was on THR because of Fx of femur neck. Talk about a boring "Disease Process" lol I talked in Depth about the types of fractures. lol Good Luck.
