Gordon College-Fall 2009

[phrozenone]

Hey,

Is there anyone here that was admitted for fall 2009 at Gordon College?

Lol! Yes that lady was mean. My husband was trying to get me to snap on her for being rude, but that would just be counterproductive. She didn't deter me from applying. I just hope that she is not an instructor or someone that we would have to deal with all of the time. I don't know how long I could hold my tongue. Phrozenone, we have a lot in common. It's funny! I am glad to hear that the program is going so smoothly. It gives me hope and confidence that all of the stressing out will be worth it in the end.

The NET reading portion was horrible for me. I like to take my time and read everything to rationalize my answers, but you didn't even have enough time to read all of the passages. The math for the NET was a piece of cake because I studied the study book and the questions were just like that. If the TEAS math is the same or easier then I should be in good shape. I am trying to see if I can scrounge up an ATI TEAS study book, but with me taking the test on Thursday, I know that I will not have enough time to order it online. Thank you guys for your reassurance. It means a lot. Happy studying!

I thought about complaining about her one time...but I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt...maybe I caught her on a bad day..blah blah blah. But now I see she's like that with EVERYONE ALL THE TIME..which is not acceptable at all.

I hear what you are saying Emile. She put a bad taste in my mouth. :urgycld: I won't let her rain on my parade though!

[GaMommy81]

That is not cool. She is a crabby patty!

Emile,

I know what you mean when you say that the competition is fierce. It seems like so many people are wanting to get into nursing. I don't want to be limited in my scope of practice either, but I know that respiratory therapists work in the ICU, which is where I would like to go. At least then when I decide to switch over to nursing, I will already have some ICU exposure and it may possibly make it easier for me to get a critical care position as an RN.

Does anyone know what a competitive GPA/TEAS score would be for Gordon? I called and they told me that they are only accepting 68 students and that they have almost 300 applications!

[phrozenone]

wow...68?...really? seems like they slim the amount that they choose to accept EVERY semester! That's crazy!!!

[GaMommy81]

If that is the case, I am getting nervous! That is definitely not good! I thought that they would at least accept 80. Man!

[Emile]

The waiting part is like torture? anyone know when we should expect a letter? If they are only taking 68, then I need to start working on plan B.

[GaMommy81]

I need to be working on my plan B as well! Man this sucks!

[GaMommy81]

Last Spring I thought that they had like 104 slots available. Oh well.
