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

First.....what uniform fitting?! I havent gotten any info except for the financial aid stuff....

Zelda -stinks about Lowell but yay for Fitchburg - at least you wont have to wait another year like I did.

I haven't gotten the packet yet either, but I was reading back in the old posts and it looked like they were talking about a uniform fitting around July? So I was curious if it was mandatory or not because I'll be in Vegas the first two weeks :)

first....you scared me - I thought I didnt get some info that you did!!! I think in July there is the scrub fitting and 4 nites of an orientation. I dont think either is mandatory (they werent last year) but you have to order the scrubs from a specific place (in Lowell) because they have to but the GLTech emblem on them. I wish we would know more too because I am trying to plan some "last hurrah" stuff and I dont want to miss any of the orientations.

Have fun in Vegas - 2 weeks wow - make sure to live it up cause its prob the last getaway for a while!!!! Maybe youll win enough $$$$ to pay for the tuition(or at least the books)!!

lady - I know I cant believe it either - I am mailing my tuition check today!!!! :eek:

Ya hooooo All the day students from 3rd term have passed. Some didn't know until the very last day. Good luck to you all who are getting ready. I know they are starting to plan your arrival. This was the hardest thing I have ever done. As far as the fitting for uniforms, they do have a set day- but I ended up going to Heros after the day and still getting mine in time. Hope to see you all when we come in to talk about our year. :yeah:

Congrats to the 2 of you!!!! I am getting so scared and nervous but excited at the same time! I just want to get some info already - I wish that we would get some info on books and supplies that we need so I can start buying them - I like to have time to be prepared!!

So did the majority of people pass - I think that GL has a pretty high percentage of passing. Any word on jobs for the graduates or do you have to wait until you pass the NCLEX? Have fun at graduation and be proud of yourselves - you deserve it!!!!
