What should I look for in a nursing program?

Pikaia asked:


I am thinking about entering a program for LPN in my town. This is what it says on their website,
“The Robert T. White School of Practical Nursing is conditionally approved by the Ohio Board of Nursing and the State of Ohio Department of Education. The Program is accredited by the North Central Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement.”

Does this qualify as a good nursing school? What should I look for in one? Also, what is an average tuition for one of these programs?
Well, the school has only been open for two years and as far as the passing rate of the LPN test is concerned, I’d have to find that out.

What does “conditionally accredited” mean? I mean, how can you be conditionally accredited? Doesn’t make sense to me.
I received a response from this school the other day. They are not “conditionally” accredited anymore. They received their full accredation in July of this year. Out of their 26 students that took the LPN exams this year.. all 26 passed!! So I guess that is good news!

    This question should more appropriately be asked of the state’s Board of Education, and Board of Nursing. You might also get a recent yearbook, and look up some of the graduates, and get their opinions.

    I looked into LPN training in my area and the cost is something like $5000 total and you can get finacial assistance.

    It sounds like you might have a good school there. The LPN program should take less than two years to complete and would well be worth the money you invest in it.

    What you want to look for is the performance of this school’s graduates on the Ohio LPN licensing examination. You probably will not be able to find out their graduates’ average scores, but you should be able to find out the percentage of their graduates who pass.

    Call your state board. In addition to finding out the passing rate you should also inquire as to why the school is only conditionally accredited.
