That school went through some turmoil last year or the year before, as far as instructors go. Even so, they have to stick with the state curriculum and prepare you for the NCLEX. There certainly is alot more to LPN training than that!
Do you know what books you have to buy? That should give you a clue as to what you'll be studying.

Oh no! I might be starting that school in July 2005! Is this a bad move. Right now I'm just a COA..Which is a Certified Opthalmologist Assistant. So I'm making a pretty big change into PN. What do you think?
I take my NET this Friday and find out some info and let ya know! thanks!

I attend the TTC in Jacksboro, let me tell you that if their program is anything like ours it is very challenging!! I am a EMT-IV with 10 years of experience and this has really pushed me to my limits. I do know that when I graduate in August I will be a great nurse.
