GPC Fall 08?

What did you get in English 1101? You had to take that before 1102 right? If you got a better grade in 1101 they would use that grade instead of the other.

Have you attended a nursing department Information Session? They tell you which classes they uses to calculate your GPA. For example, they don't use your Chemistry grade or any other classes that are not on the required list.

You should go to the nursing department and have them tell you what you should do to get accepted for next year. That was one of the suggestions from the lady that did the Information Session when I went.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! no i havent attended a session, how do I find out the dates and times of them?

I got a B in 1101. I am taking 1102 online and i am pretty good at english which I thought, however I have a tough professor.

Have any of u takin micro before? How hard is it? Is it much harder than A&P?

I personally don't think it is harder. It is actually interesting and a little fun. There are a few tough units but not much tougher than A&P. Also, I personally would not take it on line but that is because I took Chemestry online and although I got a B-- I learned absolutly nothing.

I didn't want to take it online, but because I'm only taking the one class I can't get student loans to pay for day care. I going to go into school for my lab so I hope that will help. Did you go to school for your lab?

GPC isnt the only nursing school out there. If you want an ADN degree try Gordon College in Barnesville, Ga. Sure it's far but 9 times out of 10 you can find someone to carpool with. When I went there, there were people driving grom Gainesville, Newnan, even Alabama. North Georgia also has a great ADN program (so I've heard) Keep your head up.

NurseBunky,

Do you currently attend Gordon? What class(es) do they schedule for the first semester?

Just checking to see if I have options to transfer if GPC is too hard.

I graduated from Gordon in 2006 but I did transfer to their school after I withdrew from GPC in 2003. I couldnt start their program until the followin fall b/c at that time Gordon only accepted students in the fall. Now they have a fall and spring admission.

All nursing schools are difficult but it helps when professors actually care about their students. You defintley have options though!

Hello Everyone

I (and TWO of my friends)rec'd my acceptance letter 2 wks ago. :heartbeat:smokin: We will start Aug. 08. Why r u guys picking the Lawrenceville campus? Is there something that I should consider about that campus?

GOOD LUCK!

Hey I just picked that campus I thought would be the easiest to drive to.

But I have read it is better, not sure why or if it's true. Which campus have ya'll picked?

Congrats !!!

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that after a LONG wait, I got my acceptance letter today! I'm so excited! I wrote a letter asking for consideration if spots became available, and I guess they did! I'm so happy I can hardly stand it! I can't wait to start! Where is everyone taking the CPR Course? Also, can any doctor look up my immunization record? I haven't been to a regular doctor (besides my OB/GYN) in years...

Congrats to all of you who will be starting GPC in the Fall. I'll be in my 3rd semester this Fall. It really doesn't matter which campus you decide to go to since you'll receive the same instructors. Some ppl live close to the Lawrenceville campus and others the Clarkston (Main) campus. For 1921 (1st semester) orientation, I believe everyone met up at the Clarkston campus.

The last 2 semesters were difficult, but a lot of fun. I've met many that I hope to be friends with for the rest of my life. Regardless to all the bad press GPC receives, I've enjoyed my experience and I know I'll be a wonderful nurse. I don't think that there is any program out there that is perfect. A lot can and has been changed. You need to stay on top of everything and stay organized...........ORGANIZED and FOCUSED.

As far as immunizations, go to your local health department. They'll be able to help you out. I get me PPD there yearly. I think it cost like 20 bucks.

If anyone have a ?'s feel free to PM me.
