Hey Ladies!! My name is Latoya. I have been going part time at GGC for the last 3 years. I just wanted to congratulate you guys. I love these threads, it motivates me so much. I actually plan to apply this November for Fall 2021. I have completed 3 years of community service at my church, I have all my letters of recommendations in place. I plan to take my Tea's in December. Do you guys have any advise for me in preparation to apply? I'm excited and nervous because I've worked so hard to get to this point. May I ask also once you are accepted, what is the fee to hold your spot? I'm so happy for you all!

Thank you! I know exactly how you feel, but your hard work will pay off! For the TEAS, give yourself at least 3 months to study for it. Know your strengths and weaknesses and do as many practice questions as you can, particularly for English and Math. For science and English, you’ll need to review the concepts outline in the TEAS study manual. The manual doesn’t help a bunch since it only gives you a brief overview, so I recommend you study other ways, too. The PocketPrep app is really good too. And of course, your old A&P notes. It’s really not that bad or scary, but you do need to prepare for it. And don’t be shy, if you have any questions later on, let me know. And good luck, too!

Hello guys,

Do the people who wrote my recommendation Letters have to turn it in/ mail it to GGC or they can give it to me and turn it in myself? Thanks!

@ Ella Baena, OMG I just read in your GA Perimeter thread so I screen shoot of your message so I could order the practice book and test!! Thanks so much! I pray I get in GGC because that's where I been the last few years but I plan to apply to GSU BSN traditional and maybe ADN for Gwinnett Tech and GA State but I'm praying for GGC. I may be older then some of you guys. 36 single mom with 2 boys so my GGC my first choice for convenience. I had Mercer on my list but they are pretty expensive.
and I'm sorry I meant Elle! Was trying to tag you but I cant figure it out LOL
Yes GGC is pretty economical. Chamberlain is cheaper the Mercer and less competitive. My next choice bc it’s cheaper is UNG. No problem, I was trying to find the GSU thread too. But the practice test looks just like the real one. Use little the calculator on the top right of the screen on the math section. Try some of the apps the other ppl suggested. Don't worry about the age I'm, about to be, 36 too.

I'm sure you could do that; however, GGC provides a link for them to complete.

GGC gives you a link that you send to them and they have to submit the letter that way.

Thank you so much!

I don't know that info. I did it through school. They asked for 2 ppl; 1 person from school and the other from work. It's a quick survey.

So, I will have to wait until I can access the nursing applications to ask for letters of recommendation? Thank you for answering my questions and I really appreciate it.

Yeah, they won’t be able to submit anything until you have the links. GGC will send an email explaining how to send the school the necessary documents after you fill out an application which is really just basic information about you! You can still ask early, but just let them know they might have to wait until the application period opens to actually submit anything.

I think GGC does this because it’s basically a form they have to fill out asking certain questions about you. That’s how 2 professors of my professors explained it to me. Hope that clarifies things!

Thank you so much!
That clarifies a lot. I used to think that they will have to write formal recommendation letters.
