Thanks to all for the congrats!!

Emory is in Georgia (Atlanta). Don't feel bad for not knowing, half the time I don't know where people are talking about either, it's ok!

And to all still waiting, good luck everyone! I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Yay! I hope I know you guys by first name before class starts. I can't go around looking for someone by username in a class of a 110 nursing students!

Congratulations!!!!!!

That is my dream! I am actually hoping to get into GPC this fall and get my associate RN and then work a year in the field and transfer (God willing) into Emory. That is so wonderful. You are going to love the experiences. I went to the orientation last year for Emory and it is so exciting. I think that they have one of the best school set-ups anywhere. Good luck and Congrats again.

I was going to do the same... get my ADN at GPC then a bachelors somewhere but the program there is ridiculous and they have a 50% dropout rate (they claim 100% pass rate on the exam but who cares when 50% dropout! Emory's is 98% pass but most people stay in the program and like it) because the program is very very stressful and too much information is taught that is not necessary. It's 3 years long (1 year prereq 2 years nursing)... you might as well take an extra year and complete the prereqs to go to emory. No one that has been to the GPC program that I know has liked it, and many have transfered halfway through it because it's too stressful and the amount of studying has prevented them from having any life outside of the school. Even the counselors advise that you go elsewhere.

I'd reconsider.

Hey Droopy:

Thank you for the advice. I think from speaking with many people that a lot of the problems facing GPC nursing students is that they don't take the warnings that nursing administrators give them. Ex. Finish all your prereqs before going into the program, try not to work while in the program, you will be in classes from 8am-5pm Mon-Fri. Unfortunately, I have seen soooo many students that are already in the program and they are still taking prereqs. It is very sad, but I may be totally wrong. I, thankfully, have a wonderful husband who is going to allow me the time to take off from work to go to school full-time when I enter the nursing program and as of the past two years, I haven't had much of a life outside of school and work so that part doesn't bother me too much. I don't mind studying most of the time. I wish I could say that financially and grade-wise that I could go to Emory right now, but I can't. I will definately keep your thoughts in my mind once I get in and if it is as you say, I will definately run like a bandit to another school. Thank you for your insight on this and again BIG CONGRATS!!!!!!
