Hello, I am a nursing student at Floyd College in Rome, GA. It is an ADN program but they are rated as one of the best in the state of GA. They have the second highest pass rate of the NCLEX also and the only reason they are not #1 is because the other school had less students and they all passed. I will graduate in May and I am very happy!!:balloons: They also have a bridge program with Kennesaw and West GA for the BSN program.

I am a student at Georgia Baptist College of Nursing and I can tell you we are the best. I'm not partial or anything:) . Anyway I am graduating in May of this year and I can tell you that the schools reputation is extremely good in this state. We have been told we produce even better nurses than Emory. It is private and a little expensive but it will be worth every penny you spend! GBCN offers 3 years of nursing clinicals while other schools offer only 2 years. We are a small school if that appeals to you and we have a broad range of student ages. GBCN recently merged with Mercer University and is now on the Mercer Atlanta Campus. You can get more info about the school on the website www.mercer.edu and simply look under the heading for the nursing website. GOOD LUCK!:)

Hi, I'm new to the web, but I wanted to put my 2 cents worth in. I just graduated from KSU and loved it. The instructors are personable, and when they have an open door policy, they really mean it. They are flexible and I feel they really prepared me to finish and take THE TEST (Which by the way I took today and am anxiously awaiting the results). The cost ended up being 1300-1500 a semester depending on how many classes I took, and some are offered online. They do have an accelerated program in it's second go round (the first class graduated last December) and we have a high pass rate (99%). To give you an idea of how demanding/hard, we started with 60 and graduated 44. Determination and hard work paid off. It is a very competitive program, I believe they told us last semester 400 applied and they could only take 80. Good luck in your endeavors....

okay now i gotta put GPC on the map. the school is very reputable, possibly the best 2 year institution in the metro area. GPC is inexpensive but you get a very good education if you take advantage off all your resources. I am in still taking classes there and I would definately transfer out if I thought I was getting any less of an education here. Its a good place to start. also you can take all the extra classes in order to get your bsn here. ex. sociology, statistics... ga perimeter school of nursing is a good school too. ask more qestions though..

what do you mean " nothing is accepted but the first semester?"

Yes, that's what I meant. Honestly- for the time that you spend and the stress that you cause yourself, unless you HAVE to get out and get working right away, why not get a BSN. If you did start at GPC and decided to transfer somewhere else later, nothing is accepted but the first semester. That may be true of all schools though, I don't know.

Hey,

I just got the recent post talking about Georgia Perimeter. Before anyone goes there I would suggest really asking more people about it. I have heard some of the worst reports from their students. There program is really struggling right now and I've heard from recent students that it is extremely unorganized. I don't mean to bash anyone's school and there are some great two year schools out there but I wouldn't recommend perimeter.

I went to Kennesaw and graduated in '98 with a BS in Exercise Physiology. Now I am returning to get my BSN. They have a very high pass rate for the NCLEX and the price is very reasonable. Go to kennesaw.edu to find out more about it. Fran Paul the director is pretty available if you have further questions, but write them down before you walk into her office or you will leave feeling confused:confused:

I just check back in and I was really looking into GBCN, and wanted to ask if it is a hard school to get in especially transferring from a different state. Ive token my pre-req's in Connecticut and I was wondering if it would be hard for me to get back on track? Also you may have graduate by now so congrates to you... I know you have done alot of hard studying
