Western Kentucky University (WKU) - Starting ONLINE Lpn-RN Program

[TylerCWells]

I start this July with my LPN-RN transition course-work. Are any of my fellow classmates out there?

Also does anyone have any experience (good OR bad) with this program? Interested in hearing some feedback. I searched the old posts and only found one from a couple years ago with no bites on it!

Hoping to connect with someone who is currently doing this program, HAS done this program- or is going to be starting this program! Thank you all in advance!

Excited about getting my RN!

Thank you so much, Congrats to you as well.

How far will you be traveling in from?

Does anyone planning on CLEP out of any classes or skills?

[RedSox83]

I’m traveling from the Clarksville area! My intention is to CLEP everything I can!

[JA-NURSE PN-RN]

So you know how much it cost to CLEP?

[RedSox83]

If the price and place I found in is correct then it’s 70ish or $86. I found the CLEP test price when registering for the HESI.

JA-NURSE this is the link for the page I got the CLEP information from. Cost is $115 total each.

How was the exams, do you think the book prepare you enough for it? If you don’t mind sharing your score for each, and how you prepare? And what version book did you use?

I believe I read somewhere that we can take the CLEP exam for the subjects just prior to the start of that semester. For instance, we'll have Mental Health first so we can attempt the CLEP in Oct/Nov before the Jan semester starts. Then we can take Maternal-Newborn CLEP in March/April prior to the next semester. Does anyone know if this is accurate?

rollergirl- this is the information I have gotten from a former student:

You have to clep a course before the semester you are scheduled to take the course. I.E. if you're scheduled to take Mental health in the Spring. You have to CLEP it in the the previous Fall semester. You only have one chance to clep. If you aren't successful; you have to take the course.
