Hi all,

I am new to this site and new to nursing - hopefully! I am applying to the LPN program at GL Tech evening division. Is anyone else here going or has gone to that program? I am taking the NET in June (the last test date) and I just ordered study materials. I have to pass it because it is the last time they offer it!!! I am 40yrs old and completely changing my career so I am hoping I am not the oldest in the program if I get in. So send out a hello if you are going to the program at Lowell Tech.

Thanks

Susan

Hahahaha yea I hear ya!! I actually thought that it might be you too but again I didn't want to be weird lol. Thats a good question about the waitlist though. I'm not quite sure on what happens with the rest of the people they dont choose. I'm sure some get waitlisted possibly.

Don't worry, nearly everyone I know who made it into this program didn't pass the test on the first try! It's tough!

You'll make it, and we're going to be in class together, just wait and see. Sending good thoughts your way :)

I passed but barely, 81% :heartbeat:yeah:

Now I'm just terrified of this interview, I've never been good at this sort of thing! :eek:

Anyone have any advice???

To all trying to get in good luck. The interview is actually the easiest part. The testing center is were you will spend a good part of your mornings if you do get in. We have had up to 6 tests in one week with Clinicals on Mondays. so for the first term your in class for four days and clinical one. For the interview if you really want this then let them know. They are not joking when they say that you will have to study everyday and weekends. Your in class from 8-2:30 and studing for a at minimum a few hours a night and weekends.

Yes it is worth it......
