Okay, I live in Southeast Georgia. And am looking into going to the Jesup Ga Altamaha Tech College to become an LVN/LPN. I called the college today and was told that first before taking the LPN classes that I would have to take the Compass test then once that is done, take what he called, (HCA) Healthcare Assistant Program classes...he said that after I get that far her would explain the rest. I am so confused.. I understand what he is saying....but I have a friend in TX who is starting Nursing School in August.. and she seems to think that I might be getting this wrong.. Is there anyone in Georgia that has been through this or IS going through this that could help me PLEASE. I just want to know what I am getting myself into. I can't start the classes just yet anyway.. my husband is fixing to go to Police Academy In Savannah. So I am going to wait until he gets out before I start this. I have a 3 year old so I am going to be balancing being a mom and school with daycare and all of it.. So if anyone could help me by explaining what all I need to do.. It would be very helpful. Thank You.
At our nursing school, we had to apply as HCA to take the required core classess, and since the LPN was a competitive process not everyone would get in so you weren't offically LPN students unless you were selected into the program
