Nursing programs at Gwinnett Technical College
The nursing offerings tracked in federal data here are the practical nursing (LPN/LVN) certificate or diploma and associate degree in nursing (ADN). Recent annual completions came to about 18 practical nursing completers and about 72 associate-degree nursing graduates. Programs at this level are the faster, lower-cost way into the profession: an ADN typically takes about two years once prerequisites are done, and many graduates later add a bachelor’s through an RN-to-BSN program.
Cost and student outcomes
Published tuition and fees are about $3,500 a year for in-state students and $6,100 for out-of-state students. The average net price (what students receiving federal aid pay after grants and scholarships) is about $15,700 a year. About 45% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants. Students who finish the associate level and borrow leave with median federal loan debt of about $14,800. Federal earnings data puts median pay for those associate-level nursing graduates at roughly $87,300 one year after finishing and $84,300 four years out. These are estimates for graduates with reported earnings, not a promise. Schoolwide, about 34% of first-time, full-time students finish within 150% of normal time and 58% return for a second year.
Applying and licensure
The federal data does not report an overall admission rate for this school, which is typical of open-access colleges. Admission to the nursing major or program is often a separate, competitive step with prerequisites, minimum grades, and capped enrollment. Check deadlines with the nursing department, and read our nursing school requirements guide to prepare. To work as a nurse in Georgia, graduates apply for a license with the Georgia Board of Nursing and pass the NCLEX. Before you commit, verify the program’s ACEN or CCNE accreditation and state approval, and compare it with other options on our Georgia nursing schools page.
