1. What nursing school can I get into with a 3.2 gpa?

   klbinaug replied to SunnyD181's topic in Pre-Nursing

   In my area, BSN programs typically look at overall GPA and ADN programs look at grades only from specified prereqs. I used that to my advantage. My overall GPA isn't great but I had a 4.0 in prenursing classes so I applied to 2 ADN programs and was a...

2. Anatomy harder than nursing school classes?

   klbinaug replied to want2banrn's topic in General Students

   When I was a communications major, I did horrible in science classes. When I switched to prenursing I made As in A&P I & II and Micro because I knew I had to. If you go into the class knowing that grade can make or break your acceptance into ...

3. First Year

   klbinaug replied to geneva007's topic in General Students

   This is my 7th week and we've already lost some, too. A couple of people dropped for personal reasons and a few more didn't make it past our first dosage calculation exam (you get 2 tries to make a 90, if you don't get it, you're out right then). So ...

4. Augusta Tech ADN program 2011

   klbinaug replied to CR4886's topic in Georgia

   I'm not sure if anything has changed but for those of us that started this year, they only considered prereqs and PAX. There were no extra points for CNA or anything else. Make sure you attend one of the info sessions. They'll give you all the inform...

5. "You'll be hearing from my lawyer."

   klbinaug replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

   I'm a legal assistant and you wouldn't believe how many of these people I talk to every week. People will try to retain a lawyer over anything these days.

6. TEAS Question

   klbinaug replied to adoglover's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The best advice is definitely to buy a TEAS study guide. Take the practice test included and see which areas you should devote your time to.

7. your gpa

   klbinaug replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

   I applied to an ADN program a technical college in Georgia and at one in South Carolina. I got in both and NEITHER looked at my overall GPA. They only looked at grades for their specific prereqs and whatever entrance exam they used (one uses TEAS and...

8. Nursing programs that take low gpa students

   klbinaug replied to AlexisBloomquist's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Around Georgia and South Carolina, many state technical schools don't look at your overall GPA. They consider your nursing prerequisite grades and an entrance exam. I was accepted to both schools I applied to and my GPA is lower than yours. I just w...

9. the nursing identity

   klbinaug replied to violin9's topic in General Nursing

   My advice is to apply to as many programs as you could possibly see your yourself driving to (ADN or BSN). It would be better to get your ADN now than to wait and reapply every semester for a couple of years for your BSN.

10. Just a question about associate in nursing

    klbinaug replied to Talley_1976's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It is encouraged to finish all of your general classes before you start the nursing program so that you can focus solely on your nursing classes.

11. TEAS test - really no pencil/paper?!

    klbinaug replied to ChattNurseHopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I was also only required to complete the math and reading sections, and like the others, we were given scrap paper when we got there to test.

12. Any aiken tech nursing students please help

    klbinaug replied to iluvmyson's topic in South Carolina

    Augusta Tech is a good deal cheaper, and that is one reason I chose it. Our entire semester's tuition is only about $1,000.00 and my Pell grant will cover it.

13. Any Aiken Tech or Augusta Tech Fall 2011 Applicants?

    klbinaug replied to klbinaug's topic in Georgia

    Got mine this weekend too! Just need to finish all my health forms and CPR.

14. Any aiken tech nursing students please help

    klbinaug replied to iluvmyson's topic in South Carolina

    We had to have completed A&P I&II, Micro, English I&II, Humanities, College Algebra, Psych, Sociology, and Computers. But decisions were made based 70% on grades from A&P I&II, Micro, Psych, College Algebra, and English 1101 (I ha...

15. Any aiken tech nursing students please help

    klbinaug replied to iluvmyson's topic in South Carolina

    Congrats! I too had 23 points and was accepted. But I was also accepted to the program at Augusta Tech and it ends about 5 months quicker, is more affordable, and is closer to home for me, so I am going that route. I hope we both have nice teachers w...
