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.
I also have a lot of healthcare experience. And plan on retaking my GRE...but I am going to go ahead and submit my application soon and when I take the last prerequisite needed, I make an A my Gpa will be a 3.2 (3.18 actual gpa) and my prereq gpa will be a 3.45
GRE 302 (wasn't thrilled with this, both my kids had strep and I hadn't slept! But felt like it was probably good enough to proceed with)
I have taken stat, human development, & psych all with A's. I am in A&P1 now and anticipate an A. Will be taking the remaining 3 sciences in spring and summer!
CNLtobe, I think with your experience and degrees, you are in a good position! I'm not sure exactly about previous years GPAs but I know there are discussions on this forum from the last 2-3 years of applicants that you could look through!
Just wanted to chime in on my timeline so far to relieve some of your anxiety.
I submitted my application on 9/6. Transcripts verified on 9/26 (I think mine took so long because I had 3 different universities to verify). Contacted for an interview on 10/11. Interviewed in Augusta on 10/20. I was told that it could be around 6 weeks before I receive a letter saying yes or no.
Has anyone chosen to do the professional transcript entry? I know it takes up to 10 business days for them to input your transcripts in for you but I'm trying to figure out the average time.
