Anyone applied to Armstrong Atlantic State University?

Published

Hi, has anyone received their acceptance letter from Armstrong Atlantic State University for Spring 2013 entry?

Thanks for letting us know!!!! I am so nervous.. so now I'm not sure if I should be obsessively checking my email or stalking my mailman??? ;) lol

Nberry, lol, my mind is focused on receiving an email:). Its funny that the thought of checking my mailbox hasn't crossed my mind. Guess I'm trying to keep a positive attitude.

I am an aasu student now but I applied to college of coastal ga in Brunswick and I was accepted to the bsn program for spring 2013. If y'all don't have any luck at aasu try ccga. I got in pretty easy. I've heard its a very good program. I am excited!

I was trying to wait and see if I am accepted at AASU before applying to Coastal College. I will have to retake the TEAS before applying. I scored proficient but missed the national average by 1 point. My score was low (had a killer migraine) so I'm sure I can do better. Thanks for the information.

I have several friends who go to CCG, in the nursing program, and they all love it. They say that the nursing program is not as strict about certain things that are unrelated to clinicals. I considered it but I'd be a third generation nurse out of Armstrong, I'm so used to going to Armstrong, and I live in Pooler so it would be a terribly long drive. :) If I don't get in, my family may be moving to Dahlonega so I'd probably apply to North Georgia. But I hear they are really tough to get into also, even though they are an ASN program. Infact, I called NG and was told that maybe I could retake my TEAS... I have an advanced score of 79.3 on my TEAS (and have already taken it twice) so that seemed a little ridiculous to me!!! I am just praying that I get into this program!!!! I didn't get a letter today so I guess that is a plus. lol I don't know. But, I looked at the calendar and tomorrow is 4 weeks since applications were due so I can't imagine it would take beyond this week to get acceptance emails out. The applications said 3-4 weeks. Hahaha, I am also not in school right now and a stay-at-home mom so I have way too much time on my hands right now that I am kind of obsessed with wanting to know if I got in. I am just so ready to get back to studying all day.. that sounds crazy but I miss school after taking a semester off. :)

Do any of you plan on working while in the program?

I won't be if I don't have too. My husband deploys soon and We have two kiddos, a 5 year old and a 2 month old. I know nursing is such a demanding school that if possible I would really rather not have to work also. How about you?

I'm with you Tlizotte, my husband is in the Army and we have three girls (11, 8, 2) and I won't be working either. My husband is actually going to Dahlonega for a little while and I'll be staying here keeping our house and taking care of the kids on my own (full time job in itself). But I agree, it will be so tough that I would rather not work for at least the first semester or two. I do plan on working during my last semester as a PCT in the hospital. I have heard it is a great way to get a job. Either that or possibly do an externship in the area that I am most interested in. Do either of you know which area you want to go into after you become a nurse?

I just called the school and was told that AASU will be mailing acceptance and denial letters either tomorrow or Monday. According to her acceptance emails will not be sent.

I am saving as much as I can to keep from working once starting the program. I too plan on getting a PCT job the last year in the program. I just want to pick up a shift or two. As far as area, I think labor and delivery or psych. I am excited about clinical rotations so I can get a feel of the many different areas.

This is so frustrating! It's weird how everyone who has called keeps getting such different responses. I just want to know, the waiting is driving me crazy.

It is weird. The woman who answered definitely sounded annoyed by me calling about the letters.
