Georgia State Perimeter (GPC) Fall 2017

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to see who else applied for GPC's ADN program for Fall 2017. I know its super early in the process, but just wanted to have a place where we could share our anxieties lol.

Also, did anyone else hear at one of the info sessions that they would try and give acceptances to strong candidates sooner rather than later, like in January? I seem to remember this, but not sure if its just wishful thinking haha.

I'm with you on this. I can't afford BSN, Accelerated, or Second degree programs. I also plan on working part time with my employer to get my tuition reimbursement. I just hope I make the cut. Not feeling to confident with all my transfer credits being evaluated really pulls down my Over all GPA. Note to anyone on here who is young. Do well in undergrad. Don't slip up! I had some extenuating circumstances during my first degree but the truth is no one cares. They only see your GPA.

I'm post-bacc, as well. I spoke with the head nursing recruiter at the hospital in my hometown, and she was actually encouraging me to do ASN-BSN as opposed to a regular BSN or accelerated program. She actually said that accelerated program grads tend to struggle more as new hires because they have a limited amount of clinical time. Of course, that is on a case-by-case basis, but it did make me feel a little better that she encouraged me to go the ASN-BSN route.

Everyone's circumstances are different, so it boils down to what is best for you. If you are a RN, you are a nurse. Whatever you chose to do after ASN, complete a bridge to BSN/MSN or even go as far as a DNP, is really an individual goal. I believe everyone has a good chance for acceptance. If something bad happens, I would reevaluate my grades and TEAS score. If you had to repeat a course, I think nursing committee will take everything into consideration. It is always good to have options too.
