runrun did you get a response from msc about the rn-bsn program? I received an acceptance packet contingent on taking sociology & physics. I'm trying to appeal the physics requirement though. Hope all is well.

Macon is not a bad place to live. Plenty to do, close to Atlanta. For apartments, I would highly recommend looking downtown. There are always lots of 1 bedrooms for rent in the historic district and the price is no higher than any other apartment in town. I lived in a building on College St called The Massee (believe it's 347 College), it was built in the 1920's and the apartments were gorgeous. I think rent was something like $350 for a studio and around $450-500 for a 1 bedroom. We paid $525 for an awesome 2 bedroom with two balconies in 1999, but prices have probably gone up a bit since then. Another plus to being downtown is that you're right near the two major hospitals - the Medical Center of Central GA and the Coliseum Hospital. MCCG is a level one trauma center and would provide a great experience for any nurse. I think they were recently certified as a stroke center as well.

If Macon is not your ideal living area, check out the surrounding communities. I live in Warner Robins, about 15 minutes south of Macon. Housing costs are very similar and schools are great, if you happen to have kids. We also have two hospitals in our county.

If I can help with anything else, let me know. I haven't been at Macon State in a while. I transferred to Darton College in Albany for paramedic school and plan to do the bridge program at ABAC in Tifton next year, then move on to the RN-BSN bridge either at Macon State or somewhere else. It's all a bunch of stepping stones, but it's been an enjoyable trip so far. Good luck to you. Oh, and beware of A&P at MSC. Many people fail the first time around.
