I looked into this program & I think it was around $12,000 or so. I had done a & p & I think nutrition so I wasn't going to have to pay the full amount. I ended up going to Ccbc which is slightly closer to me. I looked at pti and thought ...
Hi! I was looking into going to LPN school in the Pittsburgh area. I actually live north of the city. I was supposed to go to UPMC St Margaret and they closed the program. Was wondering if anyone else knew anything about any of the other programs a...

Thanks for your input! Im not sure right now and am planning to apply for the rn program at st margarets for feb. GJCTC and PTI are both 12 month programs. I could bypass a few classes with both of them. The Rn program is 19 months and seems pretty i...

I was originally going to go to UPMC St Magaret's but they just did away with theirs. I took the test for ccbc although it seems quite competitive and I passed the test but didnt score super high. Looking at gjctc and pti as a last option (due to the...

We had a written test and then the skills portion. I was so ridiculously nervous! I had radial pulse, hand washing, nailcare and transfer with gait belt from the bed to wheelchair. I live outside of Pittsburgh, PA.
Thanks for the response! Its been hard to find out much about the LPN programs. I went in last week for the interview and handed in my application for the October start date. The counselor said she would recommend me and they would let me know someti...
I had an interview for a CNA position a few months back. I had next to no experience in healthcare but am starting nursing school in the spring. I first had a phone interview with HR, then background check and eventually I went into the facility for ...

Hope it went well! I had that same experience a few months back and was so nervous! I ended up getting the job a few months later and am now going through the training.
You have a wonderful attitude. I know people look down on the job but it is a wonderful thing to be doing! I am just becoming a CNA after my training is completed in a few weeks and am starting school to be an LPN in April. I feel fortunate that I wa...

I am starting in the LPN program in April at St. Margaret. I had actually begun the RN program at BC3 but was not happy with their program and felt I wanted more experience. I have not been able to find much info on their LPN program other than what ...

I am starting the LPN program in the spring at St. Margaret. I thought the test was a lot easier than I anticipated. I actually did the worse on the Math section b/c it took me longer to finish and I ran out of time. I was so stressed about the scien...

I am just starting the CNA training at UPMC Jan 3rd. It was what seemed like a long process to me (about four months total) and a lot of hassle but once you are accepted it seems to go by quickly. Just know they are slow but hang in there! I start at...
I live in PA and am starting a CNA class Jan 3rd. It is through UPMC so it is all paid from them and I will work at one of their LTC facilities when I am finished in four weeks. They pay you while you are in school as well. In April I am starting at ...
