1. No Jobs for New Grad ADNs

   Concrete Rose replied to KayRN2015's topic in Georgia

   Have you looked into residency programs? It might not be because you lack a BSN degree but you might not have the experience they are looking for despite the fact that you've been an LPN for a few years. I know new grads w/ ADN degree's that were rec...

3. Best ASN nursing program near Atlanta

   Concrete Rose replied to tashell1's topic in Georgia

   In my humble opinion, I think Gwinnett Tech in Lawrenceville would be my first choice. It's not far from Lithonia and honestly, I've heard nothing but good things about the program. Regardless of the program though, I think you will find some type of...

4. GPC Spring 2016 Graduates

   Concrete Rose replied to kjewel36's topic in Georgia

   To be fair to guyjincj I've heard other people say that about GPC. I know someone who recently graduated from that program and although that person passed NCLEX 1st try, had stellar grades, and was able to get a residency in an ICU unit she felt as t...

   Oh ok and ha ha I meant Hampton lol. Howard is a great school though. The semester just started but the workload is heavy since they're cramming everything that would of been covered Aug-Dec into just 8 weeks. I'm taking lecture online and of course ...

   Concrete Rose replied to NeoNatMom's topic in Georgia

   Thanks for sharing that. I'm definitely going to check it out. And you'll like Atlanta. I went to HU for a few years but since I'm from the city up north VA was a little bit too much of a culture shock for me. I'm taking Micro at GPC and so far my in...

   @vsustudent...that's awesome :). I want to start studying for the Kaplan in the next few days actually but I wasn't sure where to start. @ilovenursing86...how are you studying for the kaplan and what study guides are you using to prepare? I really ne...

9. Starting all over

   Concrete Rose replied to letstalk's topic in New Jersey

   It is very possible but it won't be easy and MIGHT take some time. Did you fail more than two nursing courses to get dismissed? You only mentioned Med-Surge? I recommend that you talk to the dean of the program you got dismissed. If you have extenuat...

10. GSU Fall 2014 Applications

    Concrete Rose replied to CB93's topic in Georgia

    Great question. Not sure how much it's changed but 1 1/2 - 2 years ago the program was as diverse as the general university. We definitely had non traditional students. It was a mix of new grads (out of school for at least a year), traditional stude...

11. GSU Fall 2014 Applications

    Concrete Rose replied to CB93's topic in Georgia

    Perception of a course/semester is completely subjective AMF7 and by no means did I say nor mean to imply that patho was an easy course. I stated it was not difficult and looking back, I say that with confidence. I have many friends that feel the sa...

    Are you a pre-nursing student or newly admitted student? How about changing careers or non-traditional student? Full-time mom? Previous degree? We all share information so effortlessly and we're all working towards a common goal....but we all have di...

13. ASN Program Questions

    Concrete Rose replied to JJenkins93's topic in Georgia

    hopefull1n30188 Good break down. I actually don't think CTC RN program was ever accredited. Their LPN program is. I'm not sure if the RN program was recently started. Some employers take into consideration if the school is ACEN or CCNE accredited as ...

14. ASN Program Questions

    Concrete Rose replied to JJenkins93's topic in Georgia

    The previous poster nailed it about CTC. Definitely look into their accreditation. There program is new but by now they should received a change in status. It may happen by the end of the year but if they don't I would be on the fence about apply the...
