Pell Grants and Veterans Educational Benefits are available to
eligible students who qualify. Tuition waivers are available
for qualifying veterans and senior citizens only. For the
prerequisite college courses, all community colleges offer federal

and work study opportunities to eligible students.
What does the LPN job forecast look like?
Employment
of LPN’s is expected to grow faster than average
for all health occupations through 2014 in response
to the long-term care needs of an increasing elderly population
and the general growth of health care services. Replacement needs
will be a major source of job openings, as many workers are expected
to leave the occupation permanently. |
Will
I be able to continue my studies towards an RN degree after
completing the LPN Program?
Absolutely. The Connecticut Technical
High School System and the Connecticut Community Colleges have
partnered together to provide graduating LPN students an opportunity
to complete their studies towards becoming a Registered Nurse. Graduating
CTHSS LPN students need to complete two additional college courses
before enrolling for an additional year of study in a Registered
Nursing program at any of the Community Colleges in Connecticut.
How do I know if I get into one of the LPN Programs?
We will notify each applicant upon receipt of their application
what they are missing or have not completed yet (i.e. college
courses, resume, CPR card etc.). Students will be notified in June
if they have been admitted to the LPN program.
If
I previously applied to a Community College RN Program
and I already took the prerequisite college courses and the
TEAS Test, do I have to take the Nursing Entrance Test (NET)?
No, you do not. If you successfully completed MATH 137 and ENGLISH
101, we will honor your TEAS Test score for admissions. You must
provide an official copy of your TEAS results.
When does the LPN program begin and end?
We
are currently looking for candidates for the August 2008 semester. Accepted
students in the day program will be committed to a three
semester program that will end in January 2010. For
the evening program, students will finish their 4 semester program
in June 2010.
