St. Louis College of Health Careers-county campus

]I am wanting to hear from people who are at the school or have been there.

]Against my better judgment, I am considering attending their LPN program. I know all the cons of these for profit schools. I am considering them because my family and I are planning on moving back to Florida in the next 3 years. I want to be done with school by then. The other LPN programs that I have looked into (Four Rivers, Applied Tech, Jeffco, SCCC) are very competitive and would take me quite a while to get all of my ducks in a row. At STL CHC, you just take a quick test and you're pretty much in from what I understand. I checked out their passing rate. It's decent at 80something%. I'm not overly worried about the fact that the credits wont transfer. And yes I have already read the article that the RFT ran like 4 years ago or something which was about the city campus.

]So tell me what you know. Give me any info you have, please!

Dont do it. Its hard enough for people that graduate from schools with far better reputations to get jobs.

Whats quickest is not always best.

No, no, a thousand times no. You will be paying a ton of money to go to a school where you will only end up with a LPN certificate. You will then hit an ultra-competitive job market (where even new grad RNs can't find work easily) and be stuck with a dead-end "degree" (because no respectable ADN, BSN, or MSN program will allow you to transfer credits earned at SLCHC). Run away from this school (and any other for-profit) as fast as you can.

it isn't that easy to get into SLCHC, you have to score an 18 on the Wonderlic before they even allow you to take the admission test on which you need a 75% with a 74% in math. Then once you are in your grade for each class has to be 80% or higher. So it is as competitive as the other schools you mentioned.
