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

Oh wow First that is awesome!!! I'm sooo happy for you :) You too Sawyer!! What an awesome Christmas present right??? I've still been practicing for my test coming up in January. I havent given up guys!! I want this sooooo badly I can taste it. I am a little annoyed though I went to take my CNA certification test this past Monday only to find out that it was cancelled!! The test administrator slipped and fell on the ice that morning. Sucksssss so now I have to wait till Friday to find out when they are gonna reschedule us!! But I am happy for you guys though :D:up:

Merry Christmas ladies!! =)

Merry Christmas to all!

Ladi......did you take the CNA cert yet? I think I posted in another section that I took it on the 23rd and passed both sections so if you have any questions give me a shout. It was easy and you will have no problem.

Merry Christmas to you too First and you as well Sawyer! I hope you guys are enjoying your holidays!! I saw your other post Sawyer that is awesome for you :D When was your original test date?? I still have yet to receive mine :o Im out of town right now so they might have sent the new letter! We will see.

Hi Ladi....original date was the 8th in Lowell...rescheduled for the 23rd in Peabody. Did you buy the NET study guide? Just keep doing the practice tests over and over - it helps out esp with the reading - there is so little time for all of those questions! I think you have a good shot of being accepted if you pass the NET. Its still early in the process and I think its easier the earlier you apply. Last time I applied and didint get in was in June and it was the last test date and there were over 100 people taking the NET for 8 spots left in the program. Not to diminish myself in getting accepted but I think I had a better shot by applying this time so early - know what I mean? When is the next testing for GL?

Happy New Year!!

Yes Sawyer Ive been studying for the past month and I'm ready!!! The next test date is on January 10 (this Saturday) My boyfriend is like a math wiz so he has been helping me sooo much! Ive been doing all of the pretests that I can find online and I also have the NET test booklet. I am way more confident then I was last time!! I also finally got my new CNA test date. Its tommorow (Jan 4th) in Lowell again! Everyone pray for me that nothing goes wrong before I even go to get tested lol:D

Hey ladies! Sorry for the late response but its been a crazyyyyy week:uhoh3: So I am still without my CNA license! I ended up getting to Lowell late because of traffic on 495. Im sure it was because of the accident that happened on 93 that morning. I tried to explain that to the test administrator that there had been an accident and she wasn't trying to hear it sooo yea sucked! But on a brighter note I have my LPN test tomorrow guys and I am soooo ready! Ive aced all of my practice tests so I think Im gonna be alright!! Pray for me guys :o

That was so sad to hear, that highway really needs to be monitored, the people in the morning are just driving too fast!! :(

And I'm thinking of you girllll! I already know you're gonna rock it though! :lol2::heartbeat

Ladi.......that stinks! I know they are very strict with the punctuality. I got to my testing center an hour early because I was so paranoid!!! So there I was sitting in the parking lot drinking coffee - the only car there! I thought the place was closed!! But that is why I chose evenings at GL Tech - I live 45 min away and I was too paranoid with the traffic on 128 & 495 in the mornings (plus I am not a morning person at all). So hopefully the traffic wont be too bad in the late afternoons. I was wondering if any of the classes were cancelled because of the snow so far this year at GL Tech. Good luck and keep us posted on both GL & the CNA test.
