Augusta U- MSN/CNL- Fall 2018 Entry

[2ndcareermsn]

I don't see a group yet started for admission to the Fall 2018's Augusta U MSN/CNL program. I have read through the forum of the Fall 2017 group and it seems to have been very informative!

I am excited once this group starts getting some members, so we can discuss the process (and adventure?!) of applying and finishing pre-reqs!

I am a second career applicant who works full time as an office assistant to two MDs and 1 BSN now. I have previously been a CNA and worked as a PCT in a small rural hospital on the med/surg floor, but then went on to get a BA in English from UGA. After having been an assistant for 4 years and out of school for quite a few more, I am excited about starting this RN program and still question why I didn't do this from the beginning :-) Oh well, I feel I have a lot of real world experience now and I am a much better learner then before! I have four pre-reqs left. A&P 1 and 2, Microbiology, and Human Development. I am planning on trying to CLEP the Human Development course this fall. Currently in the waiting process for acceptance into the Perimeter Campus of Georgia State University to start the other courses.

Looking forward to talking with all of you!

Hello has anyone submitted their application? After submitting you cannot edit most of your information, including questions and answers and completed coursework. Sounds scary!!

Hello. I usually have to call and get the stats for the previous class. The should have computed them already.

Hello everyone. I will introduce myself in just a second, but I wanted to answer your questions first. I have applied to the program before, and I was not accepted. The application process is pretty long only because you have to add in everything. Look over the application with a fine tooth comb and also make sure to look at the PDF form as well to make sure you filled out everything. You have to send your official transcripts a certain way. Certain school allow for electronic and others have to be manual. If you do it manually then you have to use the form that is composed to expedite verification of your grades. Once you submit your application your GPA will be calculated.

No, actually you don't pay until after you complete the application and submit. Also, you have to go their website and complete the supplementary; if not your application is deemed incomplete.

Wow, this is very thorough. They do look at graduate degree GPA as well.

@nicunursetobe thanks for the thorough explanation of the GPA but I see you got the minimum score, your GPA was on point so why were you not accepted? Is there something we need to watch out for.. do you still still need to be uncomfortable after you have all the minimum requirements? so now you don't have to much to do you should be on top of it. Do they still call you for interview if they would not take you. Thx

[NICUNurseToBe]

I would say yes because you should never be comfortable. You have to think about your GPA and possibly how many people have the same GPA or higher GPA than you do. From what I was informed, a interview isn't always extended if you meet the requirements. Once interviewed decision is made relatively fast either by mail or by phone. Phone interview is acceptable in extreme conditions if not able to make it in person. Interview is the deal breaker. It seems like mostly everyone from our old chat who got invited for an interview got accepted. Also, my GPA requirements have increased since then, so we shall see. I plan on submitting my application no later than Sunday, and I will keep you all in the loop of how that goes. You will receive additional emails after submitting your application.
