   rollie replied to watashi's topic in Georgia

   I went to Ga Perimeter for the reasons you listed...get my RN faster, etc. it used to be that Rn was RN and it didn't matter but now it does. It's hard o get a job as a new grad right now even with a bsn. I work at Emory and wish I had gone to a bsn ...

2. emory university GPA

   rollie replied to RNadia's topic in Georgia

   Emory is easier to get into than the public nursing schools. Public schools are a lot more competitive because Emory is so expensive!! You get the same degree.

3. Need help with a dillema

   rollie replied to %63theend's topic in Georgia

   Just out of curiosity - why does KSU send out letters so late?

4. Is this a good offer?

   rollie replied to ttbird1's topic in Georgia

   It seems low to me. I wonder what hospital you are talking about? Of course it could be that they are able to offer less because of the economy now and it's harder to get a nursing job (at least in atlanta) but I've only been a nurse for almost 3 yrs...

5. Atlanta area nurses...I need to vent!!

   rollie replied to TeeTee,RN's topic in Georgia

   I understand your frustration. I work at Emory and the majority of the senior nursing students I've worked with lately said they are all having problems finding jobs - same reason as you. The only ones who had jobs were ones who were already working ...

6. GPC graduates!!!

   rollie replied to gapeachRN2009's topic in Georgia

   I had no problems finding a job when I graduated in 06. i work at emory and had the choice of several different floors. But Emory didn't hire any new grads this year unless they were part of the scholarship program. I would say apply early if you wan...

7. Georgia NCLEX pass rate

   rollie replied to youneek28's topic in Georgia

   I graduated from GPC in May of 06. We began in the fall of 04 with about 140 people I think and only 21 graduated with me in 06. And over half of those were repeating a semester. BUT I have heard that they have revamped the program and made it more d...

8. a few questions on GPC

   rollie replied to able2009's topic in Georgia

   Honestly it was a really hard program with a high failure rate. I graduated but only 22 of our original starting class of 140 graduated. That being said, I have heard they have revamped the program due to the high failure rate and numerous complaints...

9. a few questions on GPC

   rollie replied to able2009's topic in Georgia

   I graduated from GPC in 06 and you don't get to pick your specialty for clinicals. You do a basic fundamentals rotation, a med surg rotation, a short mother baby and OB rotation (i got to be in on one delivery and one c section) a psych rotation and ...

10. Is it difficult to find a job in ATL?

    rollie replied to fazeila921's topic in Georgia

    I graduated 2 years ago and got 3 offers right away. I think there are plenty of jobs for RN's as long as you're flexible as to what area you enter. For example it will be extremely difficult to get into the ICU as a new grad or sometimes something l...

11. Hey I Need Help Im A New Grad

    rollie replied to chris meyers's topic in Georgia

    You will have NO problem getting a job at Grady. When I was a new grad and interviewed there they offered me the job at the 1st interview. Same with several of my fellow graduates.

12. Thank You Note to GPC's Nursing Program

    rollie replied to stillbetteryet's topic in Georgia

    I graduated from GPC in 2006. I was not an honors student and only got in because I tested really well on the NET. I worked my tail off and got 3 C's and a B. throughout the program, but I passed, graduated and am a RN now. That being said we started...

13. any RN-BSN programs in GA?

    rollie replied to SMS80's topic in Georgia

    So does North Georgia College. They have a location in Kennesaw too I think.

14. Is Emory A Good Hospital?

    rollie replied to gerryNYC's topic in Georgia

    Chloe - The "bit off" refers to you stating Emory started new grads at $18-$19.

15. When should I start applying?

    rollie replied to srg4784's topic in Georgia

    I work at Emory in Atlanta and they'll hire you before you're licensed but only as a nurse extern (which is essentially the same thing as a nursing asst.) You can not pass meds here, etc. without a license.
