Forsyth Tech 2018 Practical Nursing Program

[Futurenursemo]

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.

OMG so only the evening/weekend got changed?? shoot! I thought I didn't get in XD I might still have a chance?!

No only people accepted to main changed . I called today they said only the lpn to Bsn transition letters have gone out

I'm confused í ¾í´” I thought you said "On a previous post I read it changed to practical nursing eve/wknd". I thought you meant only those that applied to the evening LPN got their program changed on tech link í ¾í´

So those that applied to main campus/ day program tech link changed to practical nursing diploma?

I had 88 points and applied to main campus!

Your techlink changed to Practical Nursing Diploma?

I aplologize If I was unclear. What I meant was the people on this post that said their techlink changed I noticed all applied to main and that if applied to stokes from what I've read your techlink changes to practical nursing eve/wknd . I haven't seen anyone on this post that techlink changed that applied to stokes . Mine didn't change

Hey RenN86,

From what I was told, financial aid will only cover your books. You have to have your lab kit, uniforms, and books ordered and paid for by a specific date because they expect you to have all of your supplies by the first day of class.

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!

In the first initial meeting we had, they told us about how our names needed to match on every document that we turned in, I am not sure about our addresses though. I am pretty sure that our name that is on our CNA registry listing has to match what is on our drivers license, but that's all I can remember. I didn't pay much attention to this part of our meeting because it didn't pertain to me, but I do remember a lot of questions being asked about this topic. There was a due date for all of the documents that we needed to turn it, and I want to say that it was at the end of June or beginning of July. It is a lot to get done if you have some major changes to make such as your name. You have to have your vaccinations done and turned in by a deadline, you have to get a physical and it has to be turned in, and also your CPR listing and CNA listing has to be turned in I think all by the same deadline. You also have to purchase insurance through Forsyth Tech, which I beleive was $18, and that has to be uploaded to Castle Branch by a certain day. You will also have a drug test that you have to take, and that also has a deadline. There are obviously a lot of deadlines, but it's nothing to stress about! They give you enough time between our first meeting and the final deadline to get everything done.

Hey RenN86,

Thanks for the info!

As long as your techlink changed from "Gen Occup Tech-Practical Nursing" to "Practical Nursing Diploma" you dont have to be paranoid.. The mail will take way longer to arrive than a quick change online.
