SPC LPN to RN evening or day program. Pros/Cons

Published

Can any current or previous students provide any insight towards to day and evening LPN to RN program at SPC?

I'm concerned with the clinical experience during the evening program -- do you feel you're seeing/doing enough?

Any pros or cons that can be offered would be greatly apppreciated.

Wow no comments. I don't find many SPC posters on here for some reason and it's so odd to me. I went to PTEC as well and I'm considering different bridge programs including SPC but I can never find too much current information regarding the school in this forum. Have you heard anything elsewhere or made a decision?

I start the SPC transition program in May. If you pm me I will try to come back and post what day clinicals are like.

I went to Ptec and our clinicals were during the day but on the weekends and a few nights. It sort of stunk because most procedures were scheduled during the work week. Some of us were lucky enough to find out when a procedure was going on and jump at the chance to watch. But there were other students who did not get to see anything (their fault mostly because they did not look or ask).

I will try to remember to pm you or post here after my first few clinicals. Good luck!
