I was hoping someone had some info on this program:(. Is there any other info about LPN programs in GA?

Moved to GA Nursing Programs for more response.

I was going to try and see again if anyone had any information about this program :).

I go to that school, Do you still need information?

Hi Mindy! I am sorry I am just getting back to you. I had a discussion with my husband and agreed to wait on making the career move for now. How is the program though?

MindyydniM · Jun 21, 2012

Honestly, I have applied twice and I cant get in. I passed TEAS test both times and made it to the selection process and I cant get in. Maybe because they only accpet 20 students....and there is 100 to 300 applicants. I am so frustrated. I honetly would say to try a different school. This school is quite rediculous when it comes to the amount of students the Lpn program accepts.

Thanks for the info! Wow, only 20 people . You would think they would accept a little more.

MindyydniM · Jun 22, 2012

Yes....I know its really frustrating. I guess I will give it one more time this fall. I pray to god I get in then.

I went there in 2003. I already had degrees but was wanting to try nursing. I applied and went. The instructors left a lot to be desired. They were really bad. They fought in front of us and acted like they were in high school rather than being instructors. I advise both of you to go somewhere else. I have no idea what they are like now but from what I learned about the school, you are better off going to a real school. Good luck.

I know this is an old thread but I graduated LPN with Ga Piedmont, formerly Dekalb tech and I must say I loved it. The instructors were very nice and helpful and wanted us to succeed. There was only one who had a short demeanor and was occasionally rude. I finished in 03/2011 and I hear she is no longer there. I would recommend the school.

Hi, I know this thread is pretty old but I would like to know if you had any trouble getting into a RN school? Im applying at GPTC to start this fall but I realized the LPN program is not privately accredited. From your profile looks like you're already a RN?
