I'm planning on starting the CNA program, then enrolling in their LPN program. I was actually looking at Platt College, but after i lurked here... and did some web searching... decided against it. :) So thank you! I'm actually really impressed with Tulsa Tech so far. They have been very helpful and have sent me lots of info when they actually said they would! (unlike Platt)
So... is anyone else planning on going there soon?? Or did go, and have any tips??
Wow, I guess tuition went up! You can get the uniforms cheaper than the prices they estimate on the cost sheet, cuffs and stethoscopes vary depending on the quality you get, I went for a higher end Littmann so I didn't have to pay out a little now and then again later when I wanted a better one (buy them online though because it's cheaper! I got my scope for under $80 and at the Uniform Shoppe it was about $130.) The shoes will also vary. I bought 2 pair and then tried them out at home and can't wear them so am now trying to sell them to someone else so I can buy some higher-end ones. Don't buy 2 pair upfront - wait and see what works for you first and you probably won't need the second pair.
