Well, you can't just take "a course" to become an LPN, you have to have an associates degree. Where I live, in the midwest, I recently read the average LPN has $30,000 worth of student loan debt and RN's have appx $45,000 worth of student loan debt.

Congrats on choosing such a noble and honorable profession!
Here are a list of schools I found:http://www.nursingschools.com/states/geo…
I would strongly suggest that you check out your local community college or a hospital nursing school before you consider one of those “for profit” schools.
Here are some information from the Georgia Board of Nursing in regards to LPN’s:http://sos.georgia.gov/plb/faqs/13%20faq…

To become an LPN you should attend a Technical College. They are located throughout the state of GA.
The costs to attend a Technical College are the same across the board. Each Technical College falls under the same state agency – DTAE (Department of Technical and Adult Education) – therefore the costs are the same at each school.
I don’t know where you are in GA but here are links to some schools located in middle GA:
Central Georgia Technical College Home Page:http://www.centralgatech.edu/
Educational costs at CGTC: http://www.centralgatech.edu/general/ins…

Middle Georgia Tech Home Page: http://www.middlegatech.edu/
Middle Georgia Technical College LPN: http://www.middlegatech.edu/academics/he…

To begin school you need to apply for admissions at the admissions office. This comes with a one-time fee at each school of $15.
Here is an example of what one quarter would cost:
Say you take 2 classes that are 5 credit hours a piece.
2 x 5 = 10 credit hours
10 credit hours x $36 = $360 Tuition
$35 Technology Fee
$26 Registration Fee
$16 Activities Fee
$4 Student Accident Insurance
Total for one quarter = $441
If you take more that 12 credit hours a quarter, you are considered a full-time student. Tuition will then no longer exceed $432. For example:
Taking 3 classes that are 5 credit hours a piece.
3 x 5 = 15 credit hours
15 credit hours (max Tuition amount) = $432
$35 Technology Fee
$26 Registration Fee
$16 Activities Fee
$4 Student Accident Insurance
Total Amount Due for one quarter $513.
Some additional fees may apply depending on the courses you are taking but they are not much. If you decide to attend a tech school, go ahead and apply for financial aid once you have been accepted to the school. You may qualify for the HOPE Grant, HOPE Scholarship, PELL Grant, or any other financial aid instruments that can pay these fees for you.
