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

The only experience I have is my clinical rotation from taking the class. I guess they want people who have significant experience and want to advance their career.

Hopefully someone will decide not to do the program so I can take their spot. That way I won't have to wait and apply again next year!

Not that it won't be worth it; it's really a great program and I've heard nothing but awesome things about it!! I just wouldn't want to waste a whole year... :banghead:

Yay JMarie:yeah: - all that studying paid off. I didnt know how to read the score either but I just assumed that the Composite Percentage is what they go by - mine was 91% in the 99th percentile! I scored 100% on the math part - I am shocked and overwhelmed and it was worth all the studying. I have no idea what the ERI standard score is though. I was up til 2:00 AM last nite because I just didnt know what to do with myself. I refuse to get too excited because I have no experience either in the health field so I am hoping that my letters of recommendation will suffice. I have never done my resume because I have been working in a family business for 20 yrs. I am going to call tomorrow morning to set up the appt for next week. Let me know when you have your interview. I will be trying not to throw up until mine is over!!!!!

oh wow!!!! Good for you!!! YAY!!

I just faxed in form for 1 trascript then tmrw to get other transcript and birth certificate. I have to write my resume get my letters of recommendation.... honestly I feel I will get put on a list if not at all..My composite is not that great I got a ...gulp.... 66 composite in the 71 percentile....not a good score..it is like ya i passed but I am sure they will be looking at your NET score to decide as well... Gotta think positive.. I am not getting excited honestly until I hear back from the interview.. I too am calling tomorrow to schedule and hope to the heavens I get my transcript in the mail in time.. My last course I took A&P2 I got an A so a health related course and a really good score... I am gonna need all the help I can get!!!!!

Susan i think you will be fine.....honestly with a score like that I would be shocked! :D

I am wondering if we all took NET too late and all spots are filled and so then everyone else that they like will be put on a waiting list...and I am confused if someone quits by December you take their spot? But what about those months of missed info and clinicals??? ok well....ive been good at keeping myself occupied and now the stress has reset itself!!! EEKS!

Hey sawyer- let us know when your interview is OK?

JMarie - 71 percentile means you did better than 71 percent of the people who took the test - thats great! I dont think the score counts that much - I think its the grades and experience. I wasn't planning to fax anything....I was just going to bring it for the interview - do we have to have all the items there before the interview? If so Im gonna have to schedule mine for next Fri if possible.
