1. GPC Nursing Program - Fall 2015

   igotaxed replied to CRNA_hopefull's topic in Georgia

   I got my acceptance letter a couple weeks back as well! I'm super excited to meet my fellow nursemates. :) My TEAS score was 94 & GPA (science/prereqs) is 4.0. I'll say that I worked really, really hard for those numbers. I had to knock quite a...

2. Georgia Perimeter College (GPC) first BSN cohort 2015?

   igotaxed posted a topic in Georgia

   This is from the GPC website: http://depts.gpc.edu/~presoff/documents/SP%20FY15%20Final.pdf Check out #2 on the second page about beginning two new four-year programs in fall 2015. I know a BSN degree was already approved, but funding for the progra...

3. Start from scratch or bring in old credits?

   igotaxed replied to uds16's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It's hard when you're going back to school after many years because you feel like you want to make up for lost time and go at lightning speed. I battle with that feeling every single day because I've been out of school for over 10 years. Nursing s...

4. Stereotyping Male Nurses

   igotaxed replied to lvansick's topic in Male Students

   It's such a hard thing to really pinpoint because it's all a wash of so many different influences. Our biology dictates a lot of how we feel and act around each other and in society as a whole. Nobody can deny that hormones and neurotransmitters h...

5. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

   igotaxed replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm 33 with a previous degree. Going back to school isn't the easiest thing in the world, but I love it. Two more pre-reqs to go and then applying to nursing schools. I'm super stoked! :)

6. So many nursing majors in my class!

   igotaxed replied to mmcc26's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Agreed! ..and (not to be mean)... we don't need idiots becoming nurses. If the prereqs are too hard, you have no business being a nurse, right? Personally, I love the challenge of the sciences, and secretly, I wish they required a few more for pre...

7. So many nursing majors in my class!

   igotaxed replied to mmcc26's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I sort of agree with you on wanting people to drop out, mainly for a different reason, though. There are a good many pre-nursing students in my classes that are just coasting through and talking about the money they'll make in nursing, but they aren...

8. Tips for Surviving the 1st Semester of Nursing School

   igotaxed replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

   Love the post! I'm only in prereqs, but I'm mentally preparing for the wild ride that is nursing school!

9. How much do you owe in student loans?

   igotaxed replied to Glenna, LPN's topic in General Nursing

   I have a previous degree from a private college that ended up netting me about $49,500 in loan debt. I've been paying since '05 (with a few forbearances thrown in) and am now down to about $44,000. Luckily, I just landed a serving job that is p...

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

    igotaxed replied to igotaxed's topic in Georgia

    I totally understand that feeling. I'm gonna work harder than ever to get straight A's. ACE is sooo competitive!

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

    igotaxed replied to igotaxed's topic in Georgia

    Have you gotten all your pre-reqs done, yet?

12. Recommendations for Pre-req order at Georgia Perimeter College?

    igotaxed replied to igotaxed's topic in Georgia

    Wow... Didn't realize you could do that. I'll just see where I stand when finishing a&p2. Thanks for the insight! :)

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

    igotaxed replied to igotaxed's topic in Georgia

    Thanks! So do you know if any GPC nursing courses would transfer over into the ACE program? Also, I should say that I already have a BA in music, so all my core classes (except pre-reqs) are covered.

14. GPC adding BSN in Nursing soon?

    igotaxed replied to igotaxed's topic in Georgia

    I have to wait until summer '13 to start my first pre-req (chem 1151)... sigh... but I'm still pretty excited!

15. GPC adding BSN in Nursing soon?

    igotaxed replied to igotaxed's topic in Georgia

    Yeah, I am hoping it goes through because I'm also on track to begin nursing school in Fall '14. Woohoo! :)
