Gordon College has an excellent nursing program; you can find a more complete list on the GA Board of Nursing's website & go from there.

Nurse Marla, do you feel that acceptance into Gordon's nursing program was very competitive?
Yes, I do. I was only able to get in as quickly as I did because I was one of the few that heard about their new Spring semester class (at the time). Keep your GPA up and do well in A&P and you should be fine.
I noticed when i googled it that it is a part of the ga state university system which my school is also so i should be able to transfer all courses. smh my school only offers the prenursing classes (such as A&P, chemisty bio exc.) and they want to give u a AS IN PRE NURSING WHICH IS A RIP OFF beacuse then u have to spend more money to get ur classes that u need tobecome a RN by going to another school. it really sucks. my school is only good if u plan on going straight to a BSN i just want my associates to start with and then i want to do a bridge program after a year. THANKS FOR THE INFO
