Answers to your questions

We're here for you whether you have questions about the nursing career or our nursing program.  We would love to help!

Nurses are essential.

Not only are there endless job opportunities, but there is also job flexibility. As a nurse, you can choose your hours, whether it’s daytime or night. You’ll be compensated well, and you’ll feel proud in your profession knowing you are helping people.

If you have an associate degree, are switching majors, want to transfer to nursing, or have a degree but want to switch careers, we’ll help you embark on that journey. At Lakeview College of Nursing, you won’t just be a part of a program, you’ll be part of a family. With our smaller campus feel in Illinois (Charleston and Danville Campuses), you’ll be welcomed right away as professors get to know you on a one-on-one basis.

Transfer prerequisite requirements from any regionally accredited college or university before starting our program.  All of our students are transfers.  So, we are as transfer-friendly as it gets!

LCN_BSN_Accelerated_Track

Accelerated Track

The accelerated track is a prelicensure track that moves quickly and allows students to complete the program in four consecutive semesters of full-time study. The accelerated track includes a ten-week intense summer semester. To accelerate, a student must have a 3.0 cumulative GPA at the end of the spring semester and not be on academic probation.  A minimum cohort of 16 students may be required to offer this track.   Students from both campuses are welcome to participate in this track; however, summer courses are ONLY offered on the Danville Campus.

The traditional track is a prelicensure track designed to complete the nursing program in four semesters. Students complete all courses during fall and spring semesters. Students may choose to take up to six credit hours in the summer semester.  A minimum cohort of 16 students may be required to offer this track.

Kwartnik, Christina

"Lakeview is definitely a smaller campus, but I think that's what makes it unique.  The professors know who you are and actually care about you being successful in their class.  As super cheesy as it sounds, the whole big family bit is valid.  From caring staff and close friends, Lakeview will always have a special place in my heart."  -Christina Kwartnik, BSN, MSN, FNP (Pending), Class of December 2018
