Who's applied to GPC for the fall?
@mangopeach...Congratulations! :yelclap: If you don't mind me asking, how many people did you start out with and how many ended up completing the nursing program/graduating with you?What study materials are you planning to use to study for the NCLEX? Good luck on that monster of a test and keep us posted!
Thank you lovleeme.
I already passed NCLEX. Graduated May 4th and took it June 21.
In all honesty, I did a lot of procrastinating and ended up only "studying" for a little over 2 weeks before the exam. I used Saunders Comprehensive, I used it all through school so I highly recommend it. Since I was already using it, I didn't have to read it cover to cover. Just brushed up on a few things. I mostly used Saunders Q&A for practice questions since I had pretty much done all the questions in the comprehensive all through school. Also went over the study guide floating around on all nurses. It has some useful mnemonics for infection control.
I was in the Spring 2011 class. They've gotten rid of Spring admissions but the Spring class went through the summer and in the fall was combined with the Fall class that started before us. So May graduation was a combination of the Spring 2011 class and Fall 2010 class. Total of about 140 I think. Our Spring class started with about 72 students. I think we lost around 17 people from that original Spring class. For various reasons. 3 people quit. 1 was dismissed for academic dishonesty. 1 left because she had to move. 3 people completely failed out after failing 2 courses. Some of the others are now a semester behind after being readmitted after failing 1 course.
I'm planning on applying for the 2013 program and I was considering retaking one or two of my bio classes but the lady I spoke to with the nursing department recommended I don't. I have a 3.0 for my science GPA and i'm just really worried that won't be good enough! Can anyone who has been accepted tell me what your science GPA was? I'm just so nervous i'm not going to make it! I applied twice to Athens tech and was not accepted either time

If I where you I wouldnt retake it bc they look at # of repeat coorifices and plus I know students that where admitted that recieved a C in one of their A&P's. You are fine with a 3.0:)

For those of you that have ordered their uniforms, how long did it take for them to come in?
