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 able to have a backup. Does West GA Tech have an adm...

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 wracking process! I'm applying at Georgia Piedmont...

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 into nursing, start my career, and then begin a fa...

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 programs aside from the obvious (having to be an LP...

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 husband and I are trying to figure out what the best ...

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 transfer to colleges within the University System ...

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 I'll be perceived being a non-traditionally aged stud...

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 luck!

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. You drive to your client's home like you would any o...

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 taken your certification test and passed? If not ...

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 others too) offer ADNs. You can always do a bridge to ...

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 pretty sure she's already gotten in :) But I'll share i...

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 applying for uses the TEAS but says this about the tes...

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 school.

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 into detail about the selection process. It feels a ...

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 going the most economical route is what makes sense ...

Thanks so much! That really does help. :)

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 taking the TEAS. The science portion is what's really ...

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

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 sciences) not be older than a certain number of ye...

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 information session that goes over the selection pr...

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 in the program.

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

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 teach a lot of the information on the science portion...

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. Honestly, I selected a bad instructor for the lab. I'm ...
