Georgia State Spring 2009

I just got the letter from GSU stating that I am accepted into their Spring 2009 Traditional Program. I'm still not sure what to do though...

So here's the deal, I got waitlisted at KSU for their Spring program. KSU's program is 5 consecutive semesters long (like 2 years). I got accepted into GSU's program which is 6 semesters long w/o summers (3 years long).

I wanted to ask people that attended GSU's nursing program: Can you take summer nursing classes if you were accepted as traditional? I want to shorten the years just a little bit. If I can't finish GSU's program faster, should I accept the offer and then still wait for KSU's answer? THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE ON ALLNURSES COMMUNITY!

The way that it was explained to me, if a student is accepted in GSU's traditional program, they cannot take classes in the summertime to shorten their length of time in the program due to clinical space. I did hear that students selected by nursing faculty could possibly combine the last two semesters of the program to complete it in five semesters instead of six. I hope that this helps.

A friend that is going to GA State's traditional program is taking summer classes. So I was just wondering if anyone else has done the same. Thanks for the reply!

Congrats on your acceptance.

If you don't mind me asking, what was your gpa? Did you complete all your pre-req's before applying? I am a second degree student and trying to get any and as much info as possible before I began applying.

my overall gpa was a 3.3 or something like that. My course grades as follows: A&P1=B, A&PII=A, CHEM 1151=A, CHEM 1152=A, MATH 1111=A, MATH 1070=B, ENGL1101=A, MICROBIO=B, PSCYH 1101=B. There are more classes that i've taken but those are the ones I remember right now. My NET score was a 94. Again, I applied for the traditional program. Good luck to you!

Congratulations to you!! I hope to be accepted accepted to the GSU program either traditional or accelerated in Spring 2010.

I was wondering about the traditional program. How strenuous is the course load if it takes six semesters?
