Congratulations! I also received a call today for an interview. I wish there were some posts on here with information about the interview at Clayton State. Good Luck!

Hey, Clayton State is totally my first choice! This is my second degree, so I like the price and also the accessibility of a smaller campus (I did my other degree at UGA). The interview was nothing too complicated. I think they have a set of questions they are required to read off. It was just me and one faculty member, which was nice. Overall, I think they are looking to assess how realistic your expectations and understandings are of the nursing profession, nursing school, and yourself. The underlying question seemed to be: Do you have what it takes to handle it, and will you make it as a nursing student and ultimately as a nurse? Don't be nervous because it seems around 300 people apply, 100 get an interview, and 50 get accepted, so really you have 50/50 chance of getting in! I hope this helps. Good luck!

Hey! I just opened my acceptance letter! Will I be seeing anyone else there in the fall or this summer? I'm so excited! :rolleyes:

Congratulations! I just received my letter as well. Will be taking pathophysiology this summer.

Hey, me too, since I'm transferring! Are you going to orientation April 25th? I'm going to have to commute until mid-July, since my husband wants to spend most of his last free summer in Athens. He starts his doctoral internship in September. Do you want to get together and study sometime?

I actually have already done the orientation because I was originally planning to start the program in the spring 09 semester, but found out my husband and I were expecting a baby. He was born on March 28th. I am going to have to commute as well because we live in alpharetta. I would definitely love to get together and study.

Oh, cool, my mom lives in Alpharetta, near Milton High School. So is your baby about 2 weeks old?? I know that it must be difficult to go to class with a little one at home. I have a 19-month-old, and he will be 2 by the time I start in the Fall. I am really sad about daycare, but I'm hoping he'll enjoy the activities. Once we move to Stockbridge in July, my commute shouldn't be too bad. I know if I got pregnant again, I would have to take a semester or two off after the birth. You can reply to my email, it's my screen name here @gmail.com.

I'm finishing up my 1st semester at CSU. Here is a little tid bit for you to know. Get the Dosage Calculation book "Clinical Calculations Made Easy" 4th Edition. ISBN 13: 978-0-7817-6385-1. Study all of it before the semester starts. Two weeks into classes you'll be tested--a 90 or above is passing. If you don't pass the first time they give you another chance. If you can't pass it then, you will not continue with the nursing program. Welcome to nursing, see you there!

wow, thanks! I will definitely do that. I did check out a dosage calculation book from the library called Henke's Med-Math, but I've been reading over pathophysiology stuff more because I have to take that class this summer. I couldn't get into Interactive Communication this summer b/c I had to wait for orientation. Is that class a lot of extra time during the first semester?
