me neither. it is kind of dragging...

I've read on the very very few reviews on Olivet's Accelerated Program, that it is really bad. I know people in the traditional who like it fine. I wonder if its just the Accelerated. But I've seen short comments saying they're not allowed to speak ill about the school or there are consequences. It may explain why it's so hard to find reviews...It may not. I've never been so I don't know. I have family that graduated with their PhD's there and enjoyed it. But of course they werent in the nursing program. I was considering this school but I'm not sure anymore..

yeah i think its definately doable. And I completely understand-i have a 2 year old and 2 older children. The more prereq's you have done, the easier. But even if you haven't done a class, you can possibly do it after the program. My friend did that with micro. and sorry but i think micro is more important than soc. lol They decide October 15. Take Mrs. Johnson for Soc! Easy A!!

Wow! Is everyone whose received emails in the regular program? I applied for the LPN to RN on Sept 15 (last day). Got a 70 on the AP Predictor. All my prereq's are already done. Still havent heard anything. Anyone doing this program? Thanks! and Congrats on those who got accepted!!

Does anyone need books for cheaper??? My friend finished the whole program in 2013 and gave me all her books.t She says they may be slightly different but not by much. My A&P teacher said books are updated but its almost the exact same stuff; my friend told me to keep them to and said the same thing. I only need a few of them bc i'm an LPN so I have 4 bags to get rid of.

Nevermind! I just saw this! " day classes start at 8am and night classes go from about 4pm-10pm. I chose evening. Jorie mentioned that there are only 24 spots for night classes and 60-some spots for day classes. Most, though, prefer day classes." I know my friend (she has no kids or husband though), was working full time hours and doing the LPN to RN program. She's a super smart girl and did really well. she keeps pushing me to do jjc and waiting on USF LOL Even gave me all of her books! ​

jhubbard LOL we scored the same. My other LPN friend scored a 68. I know, I want to know already too....sigh...

I was told I have to take only 3 classes (each with clinicals), but It's still going to take a year. I've heard those classes are pretty time consuming and difficult. Yes, I'm hoping they tell us soon too. It's going on 2 weeks soon. I'm debating on starting there or just going straight for my BSN at USF. I also hear there are days and evening classes. Anyone know how that works?

Has anyone done the LPN to RN Transition? Did you find the LPN to RN Transition course difficult? I found out if I get accepted for next semester, I have to take Chem along with that course....

Hello guys! I'm starting a thread for students who applied for the Spring 2015 Joliet Junior College RN program (so if you're just starting or if you're transitioning) I'm been an LPN since 2009 and actually applied the VERY last day! I had other plans until my mind was changed a few days prior. I studied for the ATP LPN Predictor for about 2-3 days, prayed a lot and just took it. I passed with a 70! Whew!! I have all of my BSN prereqs done aside from Stats and Chem. I'm working on 2 others already this semester. (I need Chem to transfer to where I want to go). I'm worried because the 3 science classes I took I got C's. I took Micro and AP1 in the same semester, while working, PLUS both being 6 week classes. I missed B's in both by a small amount (noooo!). I have a 2.98 GPA, A's in: both English classes, Philosophy, Psychology 101, Computers, Soc 290, Speech, History. I'm worried about my C's in : Bio 149, Bio 250, Micro, Psych 2, and Nutrition (man i HATED that class! lol). Anyone else apply? I'm sure your grades are much better hahaha I'm hoping I have a chance being an LPN plus getting a decent score on the exam (68 is "automatically in" unless there's a ton of applicants that scored this or higher). Anyone else whose gone can pitch in too!!! Thanks!!!
