I wasn't really asking for medical advice. I just wanted to know if the Hepatitis Panel was the same as a Hepatitis Titer. I did take it to the director of the program and the Hepatitis Panel was the wrong thing. Thanks!

I'm set to start in September, still contemplating whether it's the right choice or not. I keep going between starting pre-reqs at OCC and going to the vocational school. @Tperrix: How did you find out your homeroom already? Just wondering if I miss...
I'll be starting a nursing program in September. I just got my lab work back and I'm quite confused on how to read the results. I tried to call my doctor, but I got an automated recording saying they're on vacation this week... I needed a Hepatitis B...

I’m not married, but a do have a long time boyfriend. I think it’s better to be honest. Communication is the key to any relationship, if you don’t support something your spouse does or is doing you should tell them. There’s usually a good reason some...

It’s funny some people are like ‘wow that’s so cheap’ and others are like ‘that’s way too expensive’. I personally wouldn’t even consider a LPN program that was above $15,000. $32,000 is ridiculous for something that doesn’t give you a degree in my o...

Best of luck to you, I hope you get in! =] A three semester wait isn’t bad at all, if I’m understanding properly. At my entrance exam for the vocational LPN program there were a lot of people who were/are on OCC’s waiting list and got sick of waiting...

I don't know a single person who went there and got into the program after waiting one semester. I was told by an advisor as well as friends in the program that the wait is generally about 4 semesters. Make sure you send a “letter of intent” every si...

I looked into almost every LPN program in New Jersey. I actually drove all the way up to East Orange to check it out and there's honestly better programs out there. I got there and automatically got that gut feeling of this place isn't good. Have you...
I'm facing the same dilemma right now! I'm 22, I have a decent job now, but it's not what I want to do forever. I also have no medical experience. I'm torn between doing an LPN program or starting pre-reqs for the RN program. My LPN program really su...

Have you asked an advisor at your school what the schedule is like for their nursing program? They can give you the best answer! Give them a call, it’s their job to assist you in class scheduling. I can’t speak for your college, but at the community ...

Thanks for the input everyone! I’ve done my research on programs. This is the cheapest, it’s a county, non profit vocational school. I know people who have went here, for other programs, it’s not a shady place. Some of you have to remember your $10,0...

Thanks for the advice guys! I've looked into LPN-RN bridge programs and my community college doesn't have one nor do they accept the credits from the vocational school. So I would have to do the whole RN program there anyway, even if I did do the ...
Before I potentially put myself into debt, is LPN school even worth it? I'm set to start a vocational LPN program in September that will cost almost $13,000. That amount doesn't even include loans I may have to take out to cover living expenses, sinc...

Hey guys! I know this post is old, but I'm starting the LPN program at OCVTS in September. I'm actually torn about whether or not it would be worth the $10,000. From those of you who have finished, can you tell me what the experience was like? How we...
