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

Updated:   Published

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!

I’m in Hinesville. Are you just going to travel once a week for clinicals? I’m trying to figure it all out now.

Yes I am, I’m trying to CLEP out of as much classes that I can, so I won’t have to go in for skills in the first semester.

How long is the drive for you?

Honestly I don’t know, but I’m guessing we would have to. And it’s 5 1/2 hours for me. I’m planning on staying at a hotel or something for the night whenever I have to go for clinicals.

Me too! I wish they’d do like a week of clinicals instead of once a week so we didn’t have to travel as much. None the less, I’m excited to start.

I was saying the same thing. At least we could of done it all at once. Me too I’m so excited and nervous.

For those of us starting in Jan 2020, would anyone be interested in a private Facebook group where we could post questions/comments about the program, coursework, clinicals, etc?

Looks like I have to pay to be able to send a private message. Is that the case for you?
