Pre-Nursing @ GPC

U.S.A. Georgia

Hi,

Just wondering who is applying to GPC for fall 2011 and how everyone is feeling. I just took the Teas V two weeks ago and they put a message on the board that they would contact us in 3weeks and until then not to call them. This wait is KILLING me! I am so nervous. Does anybody know people that have already been accepted into the program or is anybody currently in the program?

Oh wow thanks for that info. Seems like a lot I just wanted to know how I need to set my schedule up, because I home school 4 of my kids. Thanks for sharing this info and anything else you can think of that I may need to know please do not hesitate to share, and thanks once again!

OK I know its been a while but I have not received any type of correspondence from the nursing department, no acceptance/rejection letter or when to expect the acceptance/rejection letter. Should I be worried?

You shouldnt be worried. Even if u call they will tell u to wait till april 30

I got 76 on the TEAS. Definitely not my best work! I've not given up hope, but I have prepared myself emotionally for not getting accepted to GPC. Ughhh. It saddens me because I put in so much work up to this point! But, in the likely event that I get a rejection letter, I am going to take classes over the summer that I need as prereqs for Clayton State. Then I'll retake the TEAS this summer and apply to GPC and Clayton State for the spring.

Ahhh! April 30 seems so far away! I tell myself that it won't be so bad if I don't get into GPC and end up accepted to Clayton St. because at least at Clayton State I will come out with a Bachelor's degree in the same amount of time. That's what I tell myself so I don't feel so bad.

Adorable42181, that's awesome that you home school your children! I love it. You have your hands full!

Yeah I kind of feel the same way as you...I got 79/advanced score of the teas v...people say they look more at the anatomy grades and how many retakes you have but I just don't feel great about this...I will be sad even though I am trying to prepare myself and make plans to go another route if I need to...but yeah april 30th is a long ways away whats worse is that I never received my letter stating the status of my application and had to email the nursing dept, i think they put the wrong zip code, so now im worried what if they send the letter again and I don't get it...i would hate to email the nursing dept again just so they tell me that I was rejected :crying2::crying2: that would add insult to injury! anyway good luck!

Thanks 3isacharm, I have a lot on my plate, but I am motivated and knw I can do it! Hoping that by becoming a nurse I can work only weekends and continue homeschooling until my kids graduate or until my husband and I find a house in a county with excellent schools.

You're welcome! It helps me to read these boards to keep my spirits up. I was doing fine until I saw my teas score. But I'm not going to give up! By the way, a good site to find schools is greatschools.net. Check it out.

I know right sometimes it calms your nerves at other times it makes you stress out more. WE will be alright I have fingers crossed and prayers going up for both of us!:redbeathe:redbeathe

AMEN adorable! mommy2babies, I would definitely make sure they have your correct mailing address. Perhaps that would be a good way to see if they sent out letters yet. If you call to clear up the mixup with your zip code, you could ask to see if they were already sent.

I got my acceptance letter today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yelclap:

Congrats 3TimesACharm!!! I had a similar TEAS score and GPA so I had a feeling you would get in!! I know it feels amazing!! Well relish the moment and enjoy every bit of your time right now before Fall gets here. Your days are about to get so busy!

Some advice on books -

You can get your Fundamentals book for cheap on Amazon.

The med math book, you don't have to buy the latest edition, The 5th edition is the same info as the newest edition just different pages and besides Prof Bucholz, who wrote the book makes it so simple anyway. Nice to have the person that wrote the text book be your prof!! But anyhoo, there are several copies in the library that you can check out if you don't want to buy.

Good luck! I'm only in my first semester but if I can answer any questions for you let me know!

I made it!!! Im in!!! I got the letter today!

Congrats 3timesacharm! we are classmates!!!!!!

Mangopeach I will have questions soon enough!
