Lamar State College lvn - rn online program

nmfd · May 10, 2011

I am currently taking the program. The program is very fast paced. Each class is about 5 weeks long. You have several assignment's due each week. I was in the LVN-RN program in HCC and had to drop out for medical reasons. Then I decided to do this on-line program. I use to think that HCC was hard. Now compared to this program, HCC is a piece of cake. From my personal experience I would recommend you go to a local college, where you attend a class. If you do not have that option because of your circumstance then you can do this program. Be ready to study and work for many many hours.

Thanks for the info, so have you started clinicals yet? Good luck with the program, I think i will work on my prereq first and then look for a local community college.

I just need to take 2 more medsurg classes, then I start clinicals. I had to drop my medsurg class that started yesterday cause I did not have the money for it. So I am going to take it in august, then I believe the next one would be in october, then I will be ready for clinicals. I will let you know how clinicals go.

So do you think it can be done by anybody or it takes a lot of guts coz I was interested at first coz all classes are online so i could continue working full time, but now i'm kinda second guessing myself. In the mean time I'm gonna focus on my prereqs. I hope it works out for yu, keep in touch and let me know yr progress and clinicals.

I just graduated May 20th, waiting on my ATT. It can be done! I think everyone in my class worked Full Time, but you have to be dedicated to put in the hours when you get home. I missed out on many things with my family, sitting in front of the computer, doing homework (discussions), writing papers, reading, reading, and more reading. With that said; IT CAN BE DONE!!! It is done at a fast pace, but put your seat belt on and you will be fine.

I am scheduled to start this program in june, and I am REALLY nervous, I also plan to work full time doing home health, and have three kids, is there a lot of testing? or is it more class work and a big test at the end of class? any advice you can give , I would appreciate, do you think it was easier than lvn school since you had some experience under your belt? thanks so much for your time

I thought Lamar College were not accepting anymore students for this program...so is the program still going on & u don't have to live close to the campus right?
