I received my acceptance letter for the LPN program starting in Sept. 2013 at the Tennessee College of Applied Technologies. Attending the night program which is 16 months long - M-Th 3p-9p until clinicals start. I am so excited about becoming a nurse - I plan to pursue my RN shortly after this program. I love taking care of people and want to be a great role model for my sons, ages 11 & 15. The program I am going through is around $6K. At this point, I'm not sure of our # of hours clinical vs lecture. We have orientation on August 20th and I can't wait. We did have pre-req classes this year though which they haven't done before, so I already have A&P under my belt with a B+ in that class. Good luck to all you folks out there too!! :)
