I just graduated from HCC LVN program, and there are no prerequisites unless they changed something since i graduated exactly one month ago. Maybe ur confused. You need some clarification. Call and check with them again. Have you gone to a seminar. The RN program asks for prereqs, not LVN. Just a passing net test score.

Is this program Online as well

Ayanna in Carrboro, North Carolina said: Is this program Online as well

No, HCC doesn't have an online program. I don't know that there are online LVN programs in TX.

Navarro College does not require pre reqs for their lvn program, they have locations in Waxahachie, Corcicana,and Mexia

Are there any LVN or LPN online.

ARE THERE ANY LVN-RN TRANSITION COLLEGES THAT DONT ASK FOR YOU TO RETAKE BIOL EVERY 5 YEARS??? PLEASSSSSE GIVE ME UR IMPUT.

I did my LVN school at a community college, graduated, but didn't get my license. This has been about 22 years ago. Does any one know what i would have to do if i want to get my license now. i have heard of a refresher course to take before boards but where do i start????

mary30 in Houston, Texas said: please let me know of any lvn programs here other than hcc something like a year program been here 2 month and i have got no where maybe someone from houston area would know more, when i ask about lvn, people refer me to a medical assistant program that's not what i want, i have taken lvn classes in my home state, please help where should i go, what should i do. mwtjj5@yahoo.com.

Good luck with that!!! I am from Michigan, and now live in Houston. I have been to all the different schools, and they act as if Michigan is Mars!!! Nobody will take my classes, its been a 5 month fight. I was trying to go into the RN program, but gave up, and now have applied for the lvn programs. Most of the community colleges have them. Do not do medical assisting at one of those "medical trade schools" They cost a fortune, and their grads cant get jobs.

Have you tried the LVN Program that is in Huntsville Memoral Hospital? Its a bit of a drive from Houston (about an hour), but its a 1 year program. www.huntsvillememorial.com/set_nursing.htm

Its tough to get into, very competitive...but I've heard nothing but good things about it. You do have to pass a test that has biology, chemistry, human anatomy, etc...normal college science classes should prepare you for taking the pre-test. It's encouraged to take those classes, however, not required from my understanding. Classes start in January and you graduate that December. The classes that start this January are already booked. PVAMU backs up this program as you will see from the website.

There is Wharton junior college, Alvin junior college,North Harris, San Jacinto, College of the Mainland, Lamar. All of these are local 1 year programs. I graduated from HCC in August. Why has it been so hard to find a program for you. You shouldn't have to drive all over TX to go to class. Have you gone to BNE.TX.website and looked at the list of all the LVN schools in Texas. All of the ones i named are the local public ones. There are even a few private ones i've heard. Look at the board website like i'm telling you, and see the stats and all, so you can make an informed decision. HCC is a good school by the way. I'm running circles around most of these other nurses. LVNs and RNs alike. Good Luck!!

I totally encourage you to contact the State Board of Nursing in Austin before you invest any time and money in any attempt to get a license.Godspeed to you. We need more nurses.

I beleive you have one year post graduation from any LVN school in TX to take boards, and become licensed. After 22 years, nursing has changed sooooo much, I can't see any refresher course doing any good. My aunt was actually licensed as an LVN, and let her license expire for 11 years, and the board won't even let her renew it now, because of the length of time, so she is now enrolled in college again to get her license all over again. Check with the board though just to be sure. Good luck!!

Please allow me to correct information written in comments above.
Effective Fall 2008 all applicants to the program must have completed Biol 2401 and Biol 2402 or VNSG 1320 and VNSG 1216 or Nutrition from a program approved institution. The courses can not be older than (3) three years. The NET exam must be passed with scores of Math-70 and Reading-60. All interested individuals must attend an information session. You may call(713)718-7330 for specific dates and time

hi in Fort Worth, Texas said: going back to school....SORRY

why sorry? would't you like to be an LVN and be someone in life im 16 and im already looking for colleges that i can attend but of course idon't want to be an LVN i want to be a RN. but i guess good luck with your license and with life..........

how can i get info on becoming a registered nurse? can someone give me any websites that can help me or some info on courses that i can take now. i have one college credit already which i got during my 9th grade, i took HST & Med-terms to get this credit and i was informed that it will count for one college credit in any college but it will only be valid if i use it to be in any medical field class. i guess that's a start but i really need some advice is it possible that i can take college courses nowthat im a junior in high school so that i can get a headstart in college. my school here in bowie doesn't offer any medical classes what can i do i really want to star working on my degree. HELP ME PLEASE SOMEBODY.................

im in so much need of advice like i said there are no courses that i can take here in my school how can i start on my degree i really need some help can someone be kind enough to give me some advice on what to do PLEASE.......................

You could check if your school has dual credit courses. These count for HS and college credit. Most community colleges offer A and P couses part 1 and 2, also maybe some other biologies. You will need College English for a nursing degree as well. Check with your counseler or the community college counseler. Good luck, nursing is a wonderful career!!

CHECK WITH THE BOARD OF NURSING IN AUSTIN WITH YOUR QUESTIONS. THEY CAN SEND YOU INFO ON ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. ALSO TRY THEIR WEBSITE.

does anyone know of an online lvn course?

Go to this sight to view accredited schools in Texas on line. www.bne.state.tx.us/nursingeducation/info.html

I have a question somebody may help me, Iam Mexican and living here for 9 years, in Mexico I was working as a nurse, traying to ged my RN, but I never have my titulo can I,however have my certified from school, and my social service letter. if somebody can help. tks.

I was working as a nurse for 8 years in Mexico here Iam working as a PCT. Now for 5 Years, let me know if somebody can help me.

Please contact your state's official state board of nursing, there are many accredited schools and each one has their own pre-requistes. Pick at least two and research their curriculum and pass/fail ratio to make your decision.Good Luck.

I recently received some information on Dallas Nursing Institute. I am currently a Registered Medical Assistant. I would like to continue my education to LVN. I don't think this school is for me. I only want to take the classes I need. I have taken a lot for my MA program. I know someonw that got his LVN by only spending 2,000. This school is 18,500, for 13-16 months. Is there something else I can do?

You are a native Spanish speaker? Come to Texas to Austin Community College. In Austin, the Mexicans and rich Anglos run EVERYTHING. Austin Comminity College has native Spanish speakers on staff. Call them first and ask them for a native Spanish speaker. If you speak Spanish you can get a job that even college graduates cannot get. Look into University of Texas at ElPaso. UTEP is beggining for hispanic students to attend with lots of free money. Hope this helps. I am a native English speaker minority with a college degree and LVN diploma and teacher certification in biology, but no one will look at my application because I do not speak Spanish. If you go for teaching, the public schools in Austin and Dallas will hire you and pay for your education FREE even though you were not born in the USA. Good luck to you.

The only problem is I can not move from Georgia, to Texas because my husband, wokr at CDC.
Iam just want a job that helps me to grow and moves forwards,
However Iam not sure that speak spanish is all I nead, but tks.

I have attended the seminar, but the college over here requires to have prereq and more, so I am taking Medication Aid program right now, so can you tell me where I can go to take the test and start my program, please?

Well ive heard that they are now requiring you to take a couple of prereqs. You can speak with a counseler at any HCC campus and they will give you the necessary paperwork, as well as enter you into the system to take the NET test. They will be able to help you get a schedule of the testing sites and locations. They usually have discussed these things at the seminar. Good luck!!

SanJacinto College offers an LVN program that does not require prerequesites. They are "first come, first serve" and they still have a pretty good passing rate. Get on their website now, I don't know how ofthen they start their program (once or twice a year) here's thier website--www.sanjac.edu/program/nursing.html

Pretty much every other college in the area requires 1 semester of prerequesites and like you said the classes don't gaurentee you to be accepted.

I went to Lee College and got my certificate in 1993-4. It's a great school, but there were a lot of hoops to jump through. I have also had the priviledge of working with fellow LVN's that graduated from San Jac and their knowledge is very good. Check it out, and GOOD LUCK!!!

You have to take the LVN program over again.

YES, go to El Centro in Dallas. I don't think it is expensive at all.

YES, TWU in Dallas does not have a time limit on science and math classes. Yeah, that is why I chose that school.

Iwaslooking for a RN school close to where I live but I found a place in arlington called (M&M nurse Review center) might be what you are looking for

does anybody know if el centro in dallas
has a lvn program or any other lvn programs
in dallas

I was previously enrolled in two different LVN programs here in houston years ago, and let work get in my way of completing . I'm now ready to start and finish LVN program. Does anyone know where i can apply ?? are there any hospital based programs anyone know about??

thanks,

e

I believe hospital based LVN programs provide a far better learning experiance, but sadley in my case, my hospital based training did not transfer college credits for a LVN to RN transition program. That means I had to RETAKE A&P 1 and 2 with lecture and labs,Microbiology, both Physcologys while working full time. Not because they were greater than 5 years old, but because my hospital based program did not transfer ANY credits. So my advice to you is to look for a community college that is going to provide college credit work that can transfer to any other college.

PLEASE HELP!!!
Has anyone heard about, currently enrolled @, or graduated from Dallas Nursing Institute (aka DNI or NTPCI)? Or maybe Platt College in Dallas TX? Are these reputable schools? I would like to get my LVN as soon as possible. I was enrolled @ Sanford Brown, that was a waste of time and money ( for anyone considering that dump). So, I am trying to do a little more research this time.

Thanx

iam in ma school not that one but why was a a waste did u finish did u get skills

The school I mentioned is all about the money. We were just numbers to them. There was no real concern about the quality of education unless, of course, you tried to withdraw. The classes were over crowded, school and supplies are rundown. I knew more than some of the teachers. The student library consisted of three working computers and a leaning bookshelf with out-of-date manuals. I could go on, but I'm sure you get the picture.

No, it's not hard. I am a MA now. I went over to St. Jacinto college and took thier test for thier LVN program so I am waiting. It was reading and math. It was pretty intense so please read and read before taking thier test.
