  1. West GA Technical

    monica427 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm wondering if anyone has any familiarity with the LPN program at West Georgia Tech? I'll be going through the selection process at Georgia Piedmont for the Spring 2015, but I'd really like to be...

  2. Spring 2015 Applicants

    monica427 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    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...

  3. Anyone else "only" going for LPN?

    monica427 replied to Lmomma's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    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...

  4. LPN to BSN vs traditional BSN

    monica427 posted a topic in General Students

    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...

  5. LPN to BSN vs traditional BSN

    monica427 replied to monica427's topic in General Students

    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...

  6. Georgia Piedemont Technical College in Georgia!

    monica427 replied to Nurse_Jesse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    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...

  7. What do people think about 'older' students?

    monica427 replied to lampard's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Please don't apologize! :) I don't think it's a silly question. I'm in my mid 30s and also pursuing nursing as a second degree/career. I can't say that the thought hasn't crossed my mind about how...

  8. Hard Time Finding a Job (PCT/CNA)

    monica427 replied to corrin_pp's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    That makes sense! Is there any chance for using the Gwinnett Transit? I know it's super limited so it might not be an option. But keep at it! :) Good

  9. Hard Time Finding a Job (PCT/CNA)

    monica427 replied to corrin_pp's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    You won't necessarily have to put a ton of miles on your car. I think it depends on the assignment. A lot of people I know in home health care have an assigned client that they work with regularly....

  10. Hard Time Finding a Job (PCT/CNA)

    monica427 replied to corrin_pp's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Hi ChicagoCNA! I saw that your profile says you're in Duluth, so we're neighbors! I'm just east of Atlanta. My husband is a newer CNA here in Atlanta so I thought I might could help. Have you actually...

  11. HELP! Need advice & info about nursing schools in Atlanta!

    monica427 replied to jasmin7861's topic in Georgia Nursing

    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...

  12. 2014 Georgia Piedmont Technical College Lpn Program admission

    monica427 replied to FutureRN-GA's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    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...

  13. Do some schools require only certain parts of the TEAS?

    monica427 posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Maybe this is a silly question, but have any of y'all encountered that some sections of the TEAS are not given by some schools or that the material was "dumbed down"? I ask because the school I'm...

  14. West GA Technical

    monica427 replied to monica427's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    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...

  15. West GA Technical

    monica427 replied to monica427's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    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...

  16. Can a Masters degree holder get into RN Program in Georgia

    monica427 replied to WenDu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  17. West GA Technical

    monica427 replied to monica427's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thanks so much! That really does help.

  18. West GA Technical

    monica427 replied to monica427's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    So far I have a 3.6 GPA. I'm finishing up my last pre-req right now and unless something horrible happens I'll have an A in that so I think that would bring my GPA up to a 3.67. I'm nervous about...

  19. West GA Technical

    monica427 replied to monica427's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thanks so much! It's good to have an idea as to where I might stand.

  20. Can a Masters degree holder get into RN Program in Georgia

    monica427 replied to WenDu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It doesn't matter for which degree (undergrad or MBA) you took your pre-reqs so long as you have completed them. But keep in mind that some programs require that some of the courses (particularly the...

  21. West GA Technical

    monica427 replied to monica427's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I was considering doing RN first, but like you I just need to get started quicker. I'm an "older" student (33) so getting to work faster is important for me. I haven't taken the TEAS yet. There's an...

  22. West GA Technical

    monica427 replied to monica427's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congrats!!! I'm hoping I can get in at GPTC but I'd like to apply to more than one. Have you had any experience with the program at GPTC yet? Orientation or anything? I'd love to hear from a student...

  23. West GA Technical

    monica427 replied to monica427's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Anyone? :) I still can't get in touch with anyone at West GA Tech. I'm beginning to think that's a big red

  24. Do some schools require only certain parts of the TEAS?

    monica427 replied to monica427's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Thanks! I graduated HS 15 years ago, so I can see how more recent grads would remember more of it. Although I'm not sure it would do me any good to have graduated more recently since my HS did not...

  25. Retaking a lab without the lecture

    monica427 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm wondering if anyone's been able to retake the lab section of a course without retaking the lecture portion? A few years ago I took A&P II and made an A in the lecture and a C in the lab....
