I know the south can be hit or miss, but Atlanta is a great city to live in. Diversity is dominant here. Historically oppressed groups of people (minorities, LGBTQ community, etc.) have a strong presence in the city and some surrounding areas, which ...
Hi OP, I am a brand new grad from a GA ADN program. I think if your son still wants to pursue nursing, he should consider trying to get into an LPN program. If he is able to get in and complete that (rigorous, I've heard) program successfully, he wil...

I'm also a student in GA, and totally daunted by KSU stats, I chose RN to BSN route, just got accepted at CTC. I think you should give GA State a shot, but if it doesn't work out try the RN to BSN, especially with your great GPA! :) Also you could tr...

Yes, definitely apply to highlands! I'm sorry about the disappointment after so much hard work, but I bet you'll be in before you know it. In fact, doesn't highlands have a nursing program that also starts in January? I can't remember. Anyway, best o...
