Hi everyone! Just putting feelers out to see who is planning to apply to GPC for next Fall. I am taking my last pre-req, A&P II, this semester at GPC (well, almost last, still have to do that one credit Research class), and pondering when to take the TEAS. Before this semester I was out of school for a couple of years, and had kind of deferred my desire to attend nursing school. But it kept calling me, and I realized I HAVE to go for this now before my Science pre-reqs expire. GPC is actually the only school I've been able to find so far that lists them as good for six years as opposed to the usual five.
I'll be honest, I think I have a chance, but I also think it's a long shot. A lot is riding on how well I do on my TEAS, and getting an A in this class. In the beginning I was feeling very low about my chances, but recently my mindset has shifted, and I am feeling that hunger and drive to be accepted to nursing school. I definitely don't lack the brains, but I'm in recovery, so I have a spotty academic record. If I make an A in this class I will have a 3.0 in my Science pre-reqs and a 3.6 GPA for all the pre-reqs combined.
I also have concerns about my background check, as there are a few things on there, the most serious of which is very old - 16 years. So . . . one part of me knows that I have to cultivate an attitude of "whatever it takes" to get in. Retaking classes, applying for LPN as well, whatever I have to do.
It's pretty daunting to feel so simultaneously hopeful and excited about having a chance, and dwelling on the negative factors and seriously big mistakes that may kill my chances.
I'm really having to take it one step at a time. And every time I see someone in the cafeteria wearing the student nurses uniform I just think about how much I want to be wearing that uniform myself. It's something I really need for my life, my self-esteem, my family, to pursure this successfully. So that's me.
Where are you all in your journey? What are your concerns, struggles, hopes, and mindset? I look very forward to hearing from others. Even though we're competing against each other, we're still in it together and I think support is so valuable.
Does anyone know where to send the Teas to for GPC? There are two options: one for GA Perimeter and one for GA Perimeter Teas.
I'm so worried about getting in! I was considering to not even apply. My teas are only 73 (80 in math & 88 in reading). I didn't finish those sections and my GPA is only about a 3.0. I'm definitely feeling a little discouraged.

I am on the same boat with my score for the teas. I sent it to GA perimeter. They recieve it immediately.
FYI: The deadline has been extended for the nursing program for anyone who may not have gotten everything in on time. It's been extended to February 7.
I am curious who they have preference over: Someone who almost has all their pre-reqs finished transfered from other schools vs someone who did their english, a&p 1 at GPC and applies?

I'm not sure of their preference, but I can tell you that I did all of my sciences and most pre reqs at another school. I transferred to GPC and took one semester (gov, speech, spanish) and I was accepted. I had all but research and the health class done when I got accepted and I took those over the summer before the program began. However, I do know a student in my class taking micro right now, and we are in 2nd semester. I think it could go either way. I know thats probably not much of a help lol
Hello everyone who applied for the Fall 2014 nursing program at GPC. Do you know how many people receive the "meeting minimum requirement letter"? Just curious.
I will soon see today hopefully. Now I need to find some money...my pell is almost O--U--T! I have worked too hard not to be in a nursing program by fall 2014. I have seen too many people cheat their way through almost every class. They say the good ones come last ( not that I am perfect) but I do believe in honest hard work. Good Luck
