Apparently, AMT Institute in GA is affiliated with MedLife Institute in FL, which is approved by the FL BON. They say that all of their paperwork says Medlife, but named the school AMT.

My sister, along with two other people I know, went to MedLife in Kissimmee, FL. It wasn't the best experience for her but she did complete the program & pass her boards on the first attempt. She is now an RN in Atlanta.

I did, FYI.

The information above is from 2014. We are now in 2016. I was asking if anyone ELSE has gotten information about this program. Perhaps, someone ELSE on All Nurses that comes across this discussions. I hope I've made it more clear for you.

I know someone who's currently there now. She's got classmates that have obtained an LPN license after graduating from AMT & are now there again in the RN bridge program.

I did, FYI.

I called Medlife Institute in Bradenton & was told that the owner of their campus also owns AMT.

I finally spoke to someone. I was calling the Naples location but it is in fact the Bradenton location. The owner of Medlife in Bradenton is also the owner of AMT Institute in McDonough. They say that even though the name is AMT, they are still Medlife. I also finally spoke to the adviser at AMT & she answered my questiions. After speaking to her, I know now for sure that it isn't for me. The hours don't work & even though they won't tell me the cost of tuition over the phone, I was told by someone who starts tomorrow 3/3 that the tuition is $30,000. No financial aid. Only out of pocket. My sister went to Medlife in Kissimmee & her tuition was $11,000. Not sure why AMT is almost 3x more if they're supposedly also Medlife. The adviser has also old me that 10 people have taken the NCLEX. One failed. Another failed on their first attempt & passed on their second. 8 have passed on the first try, obtained a license in Florida & then a Georgia license by endorsement. Either way, I won't be attending.

I have called the school in Florida but the director has still not called me back yet. I have not called the board of nursing yet. I don't understand how people are completing their nursing programs, sitting for the boards & obtaining a license.

Well, both, actually... but I was referring to AMT. All the positive feedback I hear are from students who have completed the LPN or RN bridge program & have obtained a license. I have seen their website & yes, they don't have any information at all. I am skeptical but also hopeful because the schedule would be very convenient for me. I'm still doing my research before I consider registering.

They claim to be a satellite campus for Medlife Institute in Florida, which is an accredited school but I can't find much info on AMT. I know of people that start on March 3 who have friends that completed the program, took their boards in FL & obtained a license. I don't know if they had their license transferred to Georgia yet. I hear positive feedback from current or past students but I'm still very skeptical.

I am considering registering for a school in McDonough, GA called AMT Institute. Unfortunately, I'm unable to find much information about them online. I need as much feedback as possible from people that completed the LPN to RN bridge program & obtained their RN license or even people who know someone that has been in this program.

Has anyone else gotten any more information on this school?

I was looking into Excelsior but the GA BON sent me a packet of extra steps I'd have to take if I go to a "non-traditional" school before they'd consider giving me an RN license. I have to work, too & my job is willing to work with me if I'd need to go to class. More than one day a week will be almost impossible b/c I need my hours. Every bridge I've looked into is one year but I'd have to be in class daily or a few times a week at least.

I am looking for an LPN to ADN/ASN bridge program in the Atlanta area. I am a single mom who works Mon-Fri 8:30-5pm. I am hoping to find one that is mostly online & won't require me to go to class/lab more than one day a week. Also one that has the option to do clinicals on the weekends. Please help!
