Forsyth Tech 2018 Practical Nursing Program

Published

Hey everyone I'm starting this post to see who is applying to the fall 2018 LPN program at forsyth. If you are what option are you choosing (day or weekend)? and what is your total amount of points.

Everyone that techlink has changed did you apply to main or stokes ?

Hey everyone,

I was accepted into the LPN night/weekend class last year, but unfortunately I had to drop the classes because of a death in the family. I am applying again this year with 116 points, and I was accepted last year with 97 points. Based off of last year, I got my letter in the mail before my status on TechLink changed. The deadline last year was February 16th, and I didn't get my letter in the mail until the beginning of April. After I got accepted, I had to attend a mandatory meeting, and this meeting covers everything from the vaccinations that are required, the supplies that I needed, and even how your name had to appear on your SS card and drivers License. It is best to go ahead and prepare to set some money aside for nursing because there are a few expenses that I didn't expect. You have to buy your uniforms from the Scrub Wagon in Winston, and they all have to be embroidered, and if the shoe policy is the same as last year, you have to wear black leather shoes for clinical. You have to set up a Castle Branch account, which is almost $100, and that is where you upload documents to. You also have to order your lab kit online, and after shipping and tax, I want to say that the price was around $130-$150 for the kit. If the book list hasn't changed, Forsyth Tech sells the books in a bundle, and they were close to $400. Then you will need to buy your supplies which include a stethoscope, pen light, and bandage scissors. I am not sure if this year will be the same as last when it comes to meetings, books, supplies, etc. but I am hoping this information will give y'all a better idea of what to expect!

I am so sorry for your loss, can you tell me what you mean by your ss card and drivers license? Are they really specific like if your drivers license doesn't have your middle name or something like that? My drivers license has an old address on it, I wonder if that matters? What was the due date to have all of these documents uploaded and cpr done? That sounds like a lot to get in in little time.

Congratulations to those of you who said your tech link changed, that was fast and early! I applied to the adn program and haven't heard anything, also the forum for the fall adn program on here I can't believe there's been very little comments. I am so nervous!

Specializes in Operating Room.

Mine did not change on techlink and very Understandable since I only had 87.3 total points for main campus. This summer I should be done with all my pre reqs for RN spring so it's definitely for the best for me AND I haven't even started or enroll in a CNA class so there's no way for me to meet June 1 deadline for PN. Good luck to you all! Xoxo
