I haven't really decided yet whether or not I would go past an LPN. I'm in my 30s and nursing would be a career change. I'm just doing things one step at a time. My immediate goals are to get my foot...
Thanks for the information Commuter! I've done a bit more research on programs in my state and it does seem like at least a couple of the programs allow students to test out of certain classes. My...
I've noticed a few LPN to BSN programs in my state (Georgia), but there doesn't seem to be too much information out there about them from students. I'm wondering how they differ from traditional BSN...
I couldn't find another thread like this, so I thought I'd start one. Who else is applying for an LPN/LVN program for the Spring 2015 semester? Hopefully we can support each other through this nerve...
I'll be applying for the GPTC program starting in the Spring, so hopefully I can answer some of your questions. Technical college credits (from schools within the Technical College System of GA) will...

Hi Jasmin, have you considered applying to schools that offer ADNs? That would expand your options significantly. GPC, Atlanta Tech, Gwinnett Tech, West GA Tech, Lanier Tech (and pretty sure some...
I'm applying for the Spring semester. Jonahsmum, the program is one year (technically 11 months I suppose - start in January, graduate in December). Not sure this is helpful to the OP since I'm...
That's so exciting! It'll be here before you know it :) Did they happen to talk about working while in the program? I'm really hoping that I can still hang on to my part-time evening job while I'm in...
How was your orientation, newLPNstudentGA?? There was an information session today for the GPTC program that I went to. Basically they reiterated a lot of the information from the website and went...
I'm applying for the LPN program at Georgia Piedmont Tech for the spring semester. I'm also considering applying to West GA Tech as a backup. I already have student debt from my previous degrees so...
