1. students applying in atlanta Ga or near by area help ME!!!!!

   astronomia replied to Asrakhan86's topic in Georgia

   I live in the Atlanta area and, while I have not applied to nursing school quite yet, I can safely tell you all schools are different. I currently attend Georgia State University, where it's all about having that magic number they're looking for as f...

2. A&P 1

   astronomia replied to Kdrenee's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The material isn't hard--it's the volume of material being thrown at you that is challenging. Each school is different, but lecture was physiology and lab was anatomy for me. I aced physiology with minimal studying, but lab was a rough. It's all visu...

3. All BSN programs in Georgia

   astronomia replied to SunshineSara's topic in Georgia

   I go to Georgia State University. We require pathophysiology, but not until you've been accepted to the nursing program. For the traditional track, you take bio/chem/or physics + labs, microbiology + lab, statistics, college algebra, English 1 and 2,...

4. What was your HS GPA & SAT score before getting accepted into nursing school?

   astronomia replied to prenursingprincess's topic in Pre-Nursing

   There are no programs like the one you are describing in my state, but I know what you are talking about! I know a girl who took a route like that in Massachusetts and she had a 1770 on her SAT and a 4.0 high school GPA, but I don't know much else ab...

5. Can I get into nursing school with a so-so GPA?

   astronomia replied to tiffany91's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It varies between schools and programs. In my area, associate degree nursing programs would accept your GPA, especially with volunteer hours under your belt, but at my current school, the B.S. nursing program says my 3.8 is not competitive enough a...

6. What credits are needed for a BSN?

   astronomia replied to Principessa22's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Generally, A&P I and II, microbiology with a public health component + lab, English I and II, college algebra, statistics, human health span and development, abnormal psychology, and either Bio I and II or chem I and II.

7. Has anyone formed a study group for your class?

   astronomia replied to LoneCowboy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I used quizlet.com. You can make flash cards and play study games based off of those cards that really help solidify the information, and even use others' cards that they haven't protected. There's a free app for iPhones as well that keeps the cards ...

8. Teacher repeats his test.

   astronomia replied to msmartel bee's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have had many professors who did this, including a microbiology professor. Don't let it affect your integrity and just keep studying the material to build it long-term. You will be the one who has the advantage later on when you can critically appl...

9. Has anyone formed a study group for your class?

   astronomia replied to LoneCowboy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My school is primarily a commuter school with students from all over, so a classmate and I made a closed Facebook group to help each other out. We posted about it on the grade management system our school uses (each class section has their own forum)...

10. Micro and A&P 2

    astronomia replied to Graduation2016's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Quizlet has a free app that you can use to make flash cards. It's very helpful for Anatomy. Other than that, I haven't really found any.

11. Spring'13 Schedule

    astronomia replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took A&P with neurobiology, nutrition, microbiology lab, A&P lab, and a bio lab. It is very doable, you just have to manage your time properly. A&P requires tons of hours of study time.

12. Anybody gotten an ASN at GPC and gone into the ACE program at GSU?

    astronomia replied to igotaxed's topic in Georgia

    GSU's ACE ace program actually accepts a lower GPA than the traditional! Good luck.

13. Emory BSN program (out of state student)

    astronomia replied to hayred0222's topic in Georgia

    According to their website, 83% of their students accepted this year were from out of state. Admission Statistics | Emory College | Atlanta, GA

14. Anybody gotten an ASN at GPC and gone into the ACE program at GSU?

    astronomia replied to igotaxed's topic in Georgia

    Most of them, yes. I just have A&P II left for my traditional program pre-reqs and abnormal psych and communications/cultural development for the ACE program. I'm just too nervous to apply to either because my GPA is only a 3.76.

15. A Fork in The Road!!!!!!

    astronomia replied to katiebeth's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Why not get your associate's, work whatever job you can get with it, and work on an online RN-BSN bridge to get your BSN? It's only a few more classes. It depends on your area, really, but I live in the Atlanta Metro area and ADNs usually have no pro...
