Western Suffolk Boces LPN program

Published

Hello everyone,

These boards are very helpful.

Anyone on here planning on going for the LPN program at western suffolk boces in Northport in September? or know anyone who has gone here. Feeback? I am undecided if I should try to go for the TEAS entrance exam for LPN or just begin with their CNA program. I am 39yrs old. Not that its too old to try anything at this point :D

How long do you usually need to work as a CNA before a hospital is willing to pay for your LPN schooling?

Thanks much!

thank you for the words of encouragement! and congrats to you, thats awesome! :yeah:

may I ask what school do you go to and were you a CNA at all prior?

I am sure it is very tough. I have two toddlers and a husband that works alot of hours.So it will be a challenge. But I really want to start this. I will be taking evening classes.

I go to Veeb, and yes I am a current CNA. Have been a CNA since last year. Just finished my finals for first semester, will get results tomorrow.

So I will be doing the Tues/Thurs 5-10pm at Northport starts in february...for 5 months.

I have classes the other days that would coincide with farmingdale.

I wish I couldve done the m-f 9-2 program and be done in the two months, but at least I will have the CNA certificate and be able to work! cant wait!

Hi,good luck to you, I know it will be a challenge, but worth it. I am contemplating taking the test for eastern suffolk boces,was wondering if anyone knows which test they use? I went to the library and got a NET study guide,but not sure if it is the right book.
