- Jan 19 by ctbuiThere wasn't any entrance exam. Make sure u go talk to the nursing director instead of the administrators in the front office bc they will tell you there's a waiting list. I mean u do have to take some prerequisite classes though..
- Jan 19 by MissmommyOk. are the pre reqs like Math English ect..? because I already have some college credits
- Jan 19 by ctbuiYeh. Have u been to their website? Atlantatech.edu and just search for practical nursing . Or like I said, go talk to the lpn coordinator.Last edit by JustBeachyNurse on Mar 2

- Jan 21 by roman7208Hi Missmommy,
I graduated from Atlanta Technical College's LPN program in 2008. It was very chaotic at that time. They had a shortage of teaching staff and clinical sites. We were often rushed through subject matters which l felt we needed more time to digest. Things may have changed since then. If not, make sure you have triplicates of all your student documents, STUDY,STUDY,STUDY, be very patient, and avoid making to many waves and you will pass. They also have an RN program. I would suggest that you get your RN rather than LPN because eventually you will have to obtain it in order to advance and stay marketable. God bless. - Jan 22 by ctbuiQuote from roman7208Hi there, I recently graduated fall 2012. And to be honest, I felt the same way as well. We were rushed through chapters, and I feel like I learn more by studying the book by myself. But then again about RN vs lpn, if I have a second chance I would still do my lpn first so I can know how nursing is really like and is it really for me, for the shortest time being. Getting into the RN is so much more competitive and longer than lpn. I got my license 3 weeks after graduation and currently just got a job- or at least in my shadowing period. *crossed my fingers* I'll do good so I'd get a job. Because from what I'm seeing, most job offers (rn and lpn) are requiring work experiences which the new grad's doesn't have. So we are pretty much doomed. So much happened to me during the semesters, so I did not managed to have time to have a part time job. But it would be a plus, if you have experiences.Hi Missmommy,
