Athens Tech ADN program

The GPA that the board of admissions reviews is soley from the 5 classes that are required for admission (Eng 191/Math 191/A&P 1 and 2/Microbiology) All other classes that you have taken are not looked at, at all. I made that mistake the first year I applied and ended up retaking 2 of those 5 classes because I made a B in them. Your NLN score is excellet though! Athens Tech is notorius for losing half or more of their beginning 50. I guess they consider that "normal"; however, I have friends at other local nursing schools and their programs lose 2-3 people out of 60 in 2 YEARS!! If you choose to go to Athens Tech, you must teach yourself and you cannot depend on the instructors to help you if you get in trouble. It has been difficult, and honestly I never studied before this program, but I find myself up late almost every night trying to grasp the info that was so poorly communicated during useless lectures. I hope you choose North Georgia! I have a co-worker who loves it there. I came to Athens Tech for financial reasons, but if I had know the difficulty I would have considered it worth my while to get a private loan and go somewhere else.

Thanks for the info monicabw. I'm definitly going to stick with North Georgia. I have just heard nothing but positive things about NG. Looks like I will start applying for those private loans!
