  1. GPC Fall 08?

    nursinginga replied to grapenuts's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I apologize if this posts twice. To your question about organization managers, I can't give specific names, but I can give you the hospitals that I have, myself, heard praise from during our rotations...

  2. GPC Fall 08?

    nursinginga replied to grapenuts's topic in Georgia Nursing

    A few that I have heard from in my clinical rotations are: Northside Hospital, CHOA - Egleston, Crawford Long, Emory Eastside, Emory Eastside Heritage, and I am sure there are many more. These are...

  3. Georgia Perimeter College

    nursinginga replied to nursinginga's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Okay, first of all. Do you or did you attend the program? When did you last speak to someone about the program? If you haven't or don't go to GPC, then it would be best not to comment about a school...

  4. Georgia Perimeter College

    nursinginga replied to thejigisup's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hi there: I am actually a current student at GPC and it is a wonderful school to attend. It is not easy, no nursing school is. For the accelerated program you must be an LPN and it is offered right...

  5. GPC Fall 08?

    nursinginga replied to grapenuts's topic in Georgia Nursing

    As long as you keep the nursing department informed about the status of your hep B shots, then you should be okay. You may also have to sign the waiver form until you complete the shots. The waiver...

  6. GPC Fall 08?

    nursinginga replied to grapenuts's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hi there: You will not be penalized at all. I got really sick after my first Hep B shot so I signed the waiver to not have it done. You will just need to keep the nursing department updated for when...

  7. GPC Fall 08?

    nursinginga replied to grapenuts's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I am a current student at GPC in the nursing program and I agree with Lakemommy that yes, GPC Nursing is a hard program but you will be very well prepared to enter the nursing world after you...

  8. Can i attend nursing school in the Atlanta area??

    nursinginga replied to flower2007's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I do not know of any of the schools that have waiting lists in the Atlanta area either. To answer Quilt's question, Georgia Perimeter College does have an LPN-RN program but it has already begun this...

  9. GPC Fall 08?

    nursinginga replied to grapenuts's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hello to you. I can answer your first question in that GPC does not have a waiting list. I do not know if there are any nursing schools that do not require nursing entrance exams but if you google...

  10. Georgia Perimeter College

    nursinginga replied to thejigisup's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I won't repeat what I have stated before, but I would like to clarify that not all of the clinical locations require the background check and the drug screening. Some require both, some require one or...

  11. Georgia Perimeter College

    nursinginga replied to thejigisup's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Sorry, I forgot to answer the summer question. I know that this year (2008), they are not going to be offering the 3rd semester in the summer, but I do not know about 2009 and beyond. You may also...

  12. Georgia Perimeter College

    nursinginga replied to thejigisup's topic in Georgia Nursing

    First and foremost, congratulations on being accepted into the program. I am currently a GPC nursing student and I would definitely suggest trying to get Micro knocked out next summer. Try checking...

  13. Atlanta VA Hospital

    nursinginga replied to ExCorporateRN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I have heard that they do hire ADN RNs, but that they base your salary on what type of degree you have (or in my case, will start out having). Good luck to

  14. Sterotypes of Nurses Continues and Is Getting Worse

    nursinginga posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello everyone: I just had to vent about this recent video that I saw on Comcast "The Fan". It is a video about a new requirement that one Spain hospital is requiring of their nurses. The newscast...

  15. GPC Fall 08?

    nursinginga replied to grapenuts's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I would like to also say that those who have negative responses to GPC are entitled to their opinions as are those of us who feel GPC is making changes to better the program. I must say that from my...

  16. Georgia Perimeter College

    nursinginga replied to thejigisup's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I just want to say that I have been through the ERI tests more than once and although it may seem that they are unfair, they are fair. The tests are based on national averages but they are also based...

  17. Sterotypes of Nurses Continues and Is Getting Worse

    nursinginga replied to nursinginga's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for keeping us updated about what the Center for Nursing Advocacy is doing. I think this is definitely something that does not need to be placed "under the rug" or "skirt" for that...

  18. Sterotypes of Nurses Continues and Is Getting Worse

    nursinginga replied to nursinginga's topic in General Nursing

    Cathmarm: I know that this is getting off topic here but I must disagree with you. I do not agree that we must come together nationally and require a BSN for an RN degree. I am currently in an ADN...

  19. Any recent Georgia Perimeter students here?

    nursinginga replied to fazeila921's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Well....here I am again speaking about GPC. I am a returning student to the program and will go back to Mother/Baby/Peds in Fall 2008. I didn't pass this recent semester but I cannot totally blame the...

  20. Sterotypes of Nurses Continues and Is Getting Worse

    nursinginga replied to nursinginga's topic in General Nursing

    Even if this were to be found as "faux news", the news crew that spoke of this, real or fake, story should not have spoken about nurses in this way. It is degrading and horrible that this is ever...

  21. Need Excelsior Clarification

    nursinginga replied to LilDKessler's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am so, so, so sorry to anyone who reads my above post. I thought I was able to download the content guides that were needed for everyone that is starting Excelsior after October 2007. I was mistaken...

  22. Need Excelsior Clarification

    nursinginga replied to LilDKessler's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hello everyone: I just wanted to give a reply to one of the posts I saw on here about downloading the content guides. I have submitted my application for Excelsior, but have not been evaluated yet. I...

  23. Glen Beck's hospital experience

    nursinginga replied to emmycRN's topic in Nursing News

    Yes. Mr. Beck can be a little dramatic at times, but, this article brings to light what many may forget. I truly believe that many nurses, doctors, techs, etc. lose sight of the real reason for being...

  24. Georgia Perimeter College

    nursinginga replied to thejigisup's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Yes, you are allowed to use a calculator for the math tests (the ones provided on the computer). As for the clinical rotations, I wish I could tell you for sure which ones there are, but it does...

  25. Georgia Perimeter College

    nursinginga replied to thejigisup's topic in Georgia Nursing

    It is recommended that you have A&P 1 and 2 and Micro out of the way before you start the nursing program, but the best thing to do is to check the website at: www.gpc.edu/~nursing to find out the...
