1. LPN Program MGTC

   Melly.Ann replied to hallpaula's topic in Georgia

   You're so welcome! Two of us went to work for the nursing home where we did our first clinical. It was actually my first choice. The other four went to work at various hospitals. On my first day at work at the nursing home, the hospital called me...

2. LPN Program MGTC

   Melly.Ann replied to hallpaula's topic in Georgia

   I'm not sure if the format of the program has changed any since I graduated, but I know some of the same instructors are there. I can honestly say it was genuine instruction. They are committed to producing quality nurses who are ready to work. Th...

3. LPN Program MGTC

   I graduated from Middle GA Tech in 2003. I'll answer whatever questions you have as well as I can :)

4. What else can I do with a LPN degree besides working @ bedside?

   Melly.Ann replied to GoosbyLPN's topic in LPN/LVN

   I worked in Public Health as an LPN and I loved it. The pay is lower than LTC, but the benefits, lower stress and set schedule (weekends and holidays off!) made up for the pay cut.

5. Darton College Fall 2011

   Melly.Ann replied to kirstierobinson's topic in Georgia

   OK, so I called the administration office this morning because I couldn't understand how a 92 on the hesi was too low for acceptance. As it turns out, there is someone who shares my last name who got an acceptance letter by mistake and I got her den...

6. Darton College Fall 2011

   Melly.Ann replied to kirstierobinson's topic in Georgia

   I'm absolutely sick and shocked right now. I just got a denial letter from Darton for the reason of test scores. I don't understand. My GPA is 4.0, I made a 92 on Hesi (88 on A&P), and I'm done with core. I'm in tears and not sure what to d...

   Melly.Ann replied to kirstierobinson's topic in Georgia

   Yeah, Micro is all I have left. I just took A&P II last semester. Hopefully they'll let you take both. I'll cross my fingers for you :)

9. Darton College Fall 2011

   Melly.Ann replied to kirstierobinson's topic in Georgia

   http://www.darton.edu/programs/nursing/pdfs/201102-Nursing.pdf That's a list of the core. They say there are 3-5 classes that they look at when you're applying: English 1101, A&P I, and Medical Terminology. I'm guessing the other two are Engli...

10. Darton College Fall 2011

    Melly.Ann replied to kirstierobinson's topic in Georgia

    I have no idea what all they go by. From what I've read and heard it varies each semester and which program you've applied to which changes your competition. Ugh, July feels so far away! Good luck! :)

11. Darton College Fall 2011

    Melly.Ann replied to kirstierobinson's topic in Georgia

    Welcome to GA! You did great, too! I'm sure you'll have a seat for fall. I understand about the financial aid. With all the new cuts to Hope and Pell I'm a little nervous. I may end up having to get a loan. I'm taking Microbiology and a health ...

    Melly.Ann replied to kirstierobinson's topic in Georgia

    Congrats! I scored a 92% composite with an 88% on the A&P. July is a long way away. Are you taking any classes this summer?

    Melly.Ann replied to kirstierobinson's topic in Georgia

    I applied for this fall. I'm taking my HESI May 7 . I'm taking Micro Hybrid this Summer, but I've finished all the other prereqs. I have a 4.0 right now. Good luck Kirstie & Doodle!

14. New LVN Orientation....I need Help

    Melly.Ann replied to MysticalSeeker's topic in LPN/LVN

    Hi, this is my first post after a long time of lurking. You sound a bit like me. I'm a doer and don't enjoy following people around without actually doing something for too long. My first LPN job was at a LTC and I was given 2 weeks of orientation....
