   I'm pretty sure I've read on this forum somewhere that it will be by the end of April. That's as specific as it usually gets. If you call/email F, she will usually tell you.

   brianaelise, A weekend job should be fine. Every once in a while, they have clinical on Saturdays. Unfortunately, the school of nursing's stance on employment is that they don't encourage it. Therefore, you cannot use your job as an excuse not to do ...

   gtqueen371 replied to IslandRae's topic in Georgia

   Sorry. I should have clarified. By days, I mean a desk/office job (8am-5pm). You will have at least one day of the week and weekends where you could work as a Tech. The job I had was Mon-Fri from 8am-5pm, but I was in school 4 out of 5 days of the we...

   You can see the schedule breakdown on the school of nursing website. It is around 15 hours/semester. However, the summer is less (usually 12) broken up between maymester and summer session. Accelerated students admitted in the Fall, you'll have 1 cli...

   gtqueen371 replied to IslandRae's topic in Georgia

   Working part time is doable. However, day jobs are unlikely to work out. I worked part-time my first semester, but because it was a day job, I ended up working very few hours and quite after the first semester. Most students that are employed work as...

   hellenvn, Honestly, I can't say one way or another if you'll get in. I can say that if you got an interview, then you were in the top 150-160 out of around 900 that applied. Your GPA and TEAS matter more before the interview because that is how they ...

   gtqueen371 replied to IslandRae's topic in Georgia

   I love the nursing program. It is strenuous at times, but well worth it. It will be even better on 12/12/12 when I graduate! :) P.S. If you want to get a head start, pre-nursing students can participate in the Student Nurses Association. We have spea...

   One other thing that I wanted to mention - It is not impossible to have a job, but you have to be dedicated to working hard. I would say that it is not very plausible that you'd be able to hold a weekday job. Most of the students that have jobs in th...

    The online options vary by semester. During the Fall, I signed up for Research as an online class. However, when we came the first day, they announced that it had been switched to a hybrid class (partially online, partially on-campus). I believe that...

    gtqueen371 replied to IslandRae's topic in Georgia

    If you interviewed, you've come a long way. The nursing program gets approximately 900 applicants per semester. They interview about 150-160 people, and they accept around 80 for traditional and 40 for accelerated. If you do not get in, I recommend t...

    jmilkah, The number of days you will need to attend vary by semester. It's not set in stone for every semester. Also, you can give your preference for clinical days, but ultimately you are assigned to a clinical day and location. It may not be your p...

    gtqueen371 replied to StarLite1980's topic in Georgia

    jmilkah, Both the accelerated and traditional programs schedules are set. Everyone that comes in together takes all the same classes. There is only one choice for each class every semester. With other university classes, you can pick a chem class on ...

    The mock interview is a great resource! They will ask you similar questions to the ones in the interview. It is a behavioral interview, meaning that they will ask open-ended questions and expect you to answer questions based on your experience. For e...

    Nutrizun, I got into the program on my first attempt with the following: Overall: 3.18 Math/Science: 3.60 7 of 12: 3.88 TEAS: 90.7 The interview is also a large part of the process. I prepared extensively for my interview. As they were asking me ques...
