Hey, I was wondering if anyone out there applied at TTCN for the January 08 LPN program. They said letters should be mailed out in August. I was looking for someone to obsess with me while we wait . Send me a PM or reply here if you want!

Hey guys, you know I never thought about how long the interveiw was, I guess it was 5-10 minutes, felt like a long time!!!
Another thing, on orentation they got the grad class to talk to us, they said only 17 out of 41 made it!!!!!! Did any of your schools have that high fo a drop out rate? They also said they had a 100% passing on board rate.Only a few more days of freedom left:), I have been a teacher aide with summers off So I am sure I will miss my summers:)!

omg I dont even wanna think about boards! LOL
The grad class didn't talk to us at our orientation/interview, but maybe they will at pre-regristration. I don't think I have that until Nov/Dec. They did mention a high drop out rate but said that 99% pass the boards. That's good. You guys only have like 3 days left!

I am graduating Dec. 19th from Tenn Tech LPN program in Nashville. I would advise you NOT to work ~ at least not the first semester. It is a very stressful, intense program ~ and a lot of students flunk out in the first trimester ~ some in the second trimester also ~ it is definitely not something you want to undertake lightly. You learn a huge amount of information each week and have to learn to critically think. The instructors don't hold your hand either. It's pretty much sink or swim. It requires easily 4-6 hours of study at night plus lots of reading on the weekend. You won't have a life for one year.
Think about it seriously ~ it is a one year commitment. Not trying to scare you ~ but we have lost half of our class. They tell you this during orientation ~ but I don't think anyone really believed it would be this difficult.
Just hoping to graduate in 7 more weeks.
Hope this helps and good luck to you!
