Atlanta LPN programs

[monica427]

I'm hoping I can get some advice on LPN programs in the Atlanta area - particularly Georgia Piedmont Tech (formerly Dekalb Tech) and Atlanta Tech. There are some older threads about these programs, but I know how fast programs can either improve or worsen so I'm hoping to get some more current input. Does anyone attend either of these?

I've seen that Atlanta Tech especially didn't seem to have a great reputation for their LPN program. I know that it is accredited but I've heard it's quite disorganized. I know a situation like that wouldn't sit well with me. Has it gotten any better?

I've been working on my pre-reqs for RN programs, but my financial situation has drastically changed, so I don't feel like I have the time to waste finishing these. I do have the required courses to apply for some LPN programs though. I know I can complete this program a lot faster than an ADN or BSN and start working sooner which would be wonderful. And I can always bridge to an RN in the future. I'm hoping that I can qualify for the WIA program to get most (or some) of the cost covered. So if anyone has experience with that I'd love to hear from you.
