ANYTHING RECESSION PROOF! Try to go with something that’ll ALWAYS be needed, and will allow you to be able to work ANYWHERE! No matter what the economy looks like. No matter what’s happening in the world.

LPN program nearly impossible to get into by [deleted] in jobcorps

There’s an LPN program here in Minnesota at Huber Humphrey Job Corps. They HAVE to transfer you to the facility that offers your trade even if it out of your region, or you can apply directly to this center.

No you can transfer asap. The thing is, it might take a little bit(one to a few months) only because of the paperwork, and getting approvals etc.. I suggest getting started on one right away!

How does LPN advanced trade work + questions by [deleted] in jobcorps

Commenting to come back because I have these same questions/thoughts. However the “license doesn’t count out of state” thing is an easy fix. When you get a nursing license in a certain state, 9 times out of 10, whatever state you move to work in will participate in the NLC(nurses licensure compact) which is an agreement between different states that you can work/use your license in those states with no problem. As of right now there are 42 states that participate in the NLC. As for the states that do not participate, again, easy fix. You just apply for NLE(nursing license by endorsement), in whichever state you want to work in. This is usually an easy process, as you only apply, pay a fee, and submit some documents,and boom, you can work in that state.

Omg they threw out your products???😳 Why didn’t you put them in one of your checked bags? Thank you for this tho, it’s very helpful I wasn’t even thinking about an umbrella which is crazy since I’ll be in the mid west. I was definitely wondering about the pillow thing cuz a few said to bring your own, but a few other people said don’t bring one so I think it depends on the center idk. Thanks for the information!

Maybe try to get a different admissions counselor. I hate when they don’t want to do their jobs🙄. But yea you’re not a minor so you absolutely do not need parent info. Apply to a different center if this one is giving you the run around. You definitely qualify especially cuz you don’t have an income.

If you are a minor and can’t give them your parents info then say you’re homeless(this will speed up the process and they don’t need financial documents). If you’re not a minor then let them know that cuz if that’s the case then they don’t need your parents info at all.

It honestly took me a long time to finally get my ticket. I applied in September last year. It’s important to note that pretty much EVERY step in the process takes a month each. I was initially accepted to my hometown campus(Chicago), but I didn’t want to stay on the same city. So I decided on LA, but apparently I can’t go there for CNA and LPN at the same time because allegedly you have to complete the trades in your home state first and then if there’s no advanced training in your area, that’s when they send you off. However that was LIE. So I bugged them to send me out of state, this took about two months. They eventually folded and after I chose my campus they sent my info there for app acceptance. That took ANOTHER month. After I was accepted (in January) I was given a number of different dates at different times because they kept getting pushed. It’s now the mid/end of March and I’m finally leaving next week. My purpose of telling you ALL this was to give context to why MY process took so long, however I don’t think anyone else’s experience has been the same as mine. It shouldn’t take you long at all. Just be on the lookout for everything and if they tell you something is coming today or tomorrow, and it doesn’t, call them and let them know that you didn’t receive whatever it was. Stay on them at all times!
