Georgia Baptist College of Nursing Fall 2009

Published

Hello Everyone,

I am gearing up to apply for Fall 2009 at Georgia Baptist. I wanted to know if anyone else is applying there for Fall 2009 as well, or if there is anyone who has already been accepted and wouldn't mind sharing their credentials (i.e. overall gpa, nursing gpa, science gpa, if all prerequisities were completed, net score etc.) I am just trying to get a feel for the type of applicant they are looking for. Thanks so muc!

I have been accepted at Georgia Baptist!!!! I applied a week before the May 15th deadline and I got my decision in the mail yesterday! I have also been accepted to NYU for the fall... So I have decisions to make!!!!

Congrats to all that have been accepted!

Hello all!

I am a nurse now and have been for a few years. Is there someone who can give me an email address or regular address to write to them and say thank you. Where do they post available jobs? Back in 1987 I had a severe Traumatic Brain Injury and Life Flight had to come and get me from VIlla Rica. I was not supposed to live. I would like to work there for a while to say thank you or at least, say thank you.

Are you talking about the old Georgia Baptist hospital that is now Atlanta Medical Center? I can give you the info for the ER/Trauma Center if this is the info you need.

Congrats Zirnie sa! What a big decision you have to make. It would be easy for me...NYU all the way! I love NYC! But, I'm married w/ kids, so I gotta stay local. Good luck to you.

SanDgroovy,

Yes, I suppose it is. It has been a few years since I went back. Atlanta Medical Center is a level one trauma center is it not? Also, is it true that Grady is closing its doors? Please let me know about both.

Thank you in advance.

So i stumbled upon the class schedule for the fall.. and I'm starting to panic.. I don't like not knowing anything about any situation I am getting into.. so I'm a little worried.. Any GBCN students who are further along in the program have any thoughts to calm my nerves.. lol..

Also.. I want to get to know my fellow classmates.. so we won't all be strangers come August 24th ..

Hey everyone!! Congrats to all you new students starting this fall at GBCN!! I graduated in December and am now in a Critical Care residency program at Piedmont. Unfortunately, those of you starting Fall '09 will be the first class starting the two year model. All I have to say is be ready to bust your behind. I thought the three yr program was challenging, but after hearing they are combining patho and pharm into one course during your first semester all I can say is strap in and hang on. Your first year will probably be the hardest thing you have ever done. But you can do it!!! The faculty and administration are amazing and they will help you in any way possible. It is a great education and they prepare you to take the NCLEX. Most passed the NCLEX from our Dec. graduating class with the minimum of 75 questions so you will be prepared to take the NCLEX upon graduation. I am so excited for all of you. Good luck and let me know if anyone has any questions.

Hey matt! My name is Kumkum Khichi. Yea I'm freaked out too.. I don't know how I'm going to be able to sit through four hours of a lecture.. I think we'll feel better about all of this once we go to orientation.. and talk to the staff and students..
