hello all,

im a bit down right now...i was accepted to darton as i had a 4.0 in my sciences and a hesi 91.42...i couldnt seem to do good enough on the TEAS or kaplan to get into a RN school in atlanta..so i was excited for my acceptance. ..now i am more stressed and doubting myself about going to darton. I have heard of scores of students failing fundamentals and other courses..and going from 100 people in first class semester down to 40 then only to graduate maybe 10 or 15 people..to me ..i dont know..that is WAY too high loss of students! i am extremely motivated. But i dont have loan money to waste and i would be quitting my job and moving 3.5 hrs away and to be in a program that nearly makes it impossible to pass?? i have never heard of friends in other programs complainign about this issue? it seems so many people repeat their courses! I WANT TO GO STRAIGHT THROUGH! i am just so afraid of relocating to only become another repeater...i dont know..i am smart but im really starting to doubt myself..i just want to be in a program that encourages and assists students on becoming nurses..not weeding out and damaging peoples wils..

distressed student

I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I can't wait to meet you : )

I am currently at Darton. Let me start off by saying no nursing school in the state of GA or anywhere is a piece of cake. I love Darton, simply because they gave me a chance. I have found if you work hard and give it your all, then you will succeed. Nursing is not like any of the core classes you have taken. We have people's lives in our hands. Darton also accept a large number of students, so quite naturally the failure rate is going to be high also. If you dont understand something, go to the teachers. I promise you they will help you. There are plenty of resources out there that you can use. I have not repeated a class yet, and Im not going to say I never will. But I will say if I do, it would be my own fault. Good luck in your studies! There will be alot of blood, sweat, and tears, but it will be worth it. Work hard:)

Hello Kristen,

Congrats! What days and times are the labs offered I have just applied to Summer 2014 and I will still be working some while in school. What are the schedules for clinical? Are they held all week or how many days out the week and what semester do they start?

Thank you

Hi Nursingdarton, I actually am coming up on the end of my second semster with Darton. I started fundamentals in the summer and it was alot of work!! We had class on Mondays for Fundamentals, then u have ur lab on a different day and then u have ur pharmacology class. So a total of 3 times a week, clinicals were at a skilled nursing facility towards the end of the quarter for two days only, hopes this help and I wish u the best!!
