  1. Georgia State Perimeter College Fall 2019

    monkeyshines replied to monkeyshines's topic in School, College Programs

    There is one online version, but the rest are on campus. The GPC nursing website has a list of nursing sessions and which campus they are at. And you can do your prereqs anywhere, but the nursing...

  2. Georgia State Perimeter College Fall 2019

    monkeyshines replied to monkeyshines's topic in School, College Programs

    I went to an info session yesterday for the program. Apparently they will be changing some of the application process in future semesters, which could be relevant if we don't get accepted this year....

  3. Georgia State Perimeter College Fall 2019

    monkeyshines replied to monkeyshines's topic in School, College Programs

    Oh neat, I've never seen that before. I have no idea about the recommendations. You might have some luck doing searches for prior application cycles for GSU on this page. I've gotten a lot of info on...

  4. Chattahoochee Technical College (Chatt Tech) - Fall 2019 ADN

    monkeyshines replied to novicenurseash's topic in School, College Programs

    I do like a lot about them. Length (aka school through the summers too) is good, and they do have a good reputation. I'm not the biggest fan of the business casual requirement to class, and it's a...

  5. Chattahoochee Technical College (Chatt Tech) - Fall 2019 ADN

    monkeyshines replied to novicenurseash's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey! If I don't get into my first choice school, I'll be applying to Chatt Tech. Luckily the application deadline for the nursing program is so late that I can wait until I know about the other before...

  6. Georgia State Perimeter College Fall 2019

    monkeyshines replied to monkeyshines's topic in School, College Programs

    Yeah seems to be right in that timeline in past years. Seems so far away, but I'm thinking the time will likely fly by as

  7. Georgia State Perimeter College Fall 2019

    monkeyshines replied to monkeyshines's topic in School, College Programs

    You can make a thread for GSU if none exist yet! Your stats seem great too. How do you get above 4.0 for your grades? I don't know how to compare that to the normal 4.0 score but I assume it's good...

  8. Georgia State Perimeter College Fall 2019

    monkeyshines replied to monkeyshines's topic in School, College Programs

    Those are great stats! I'm honestly surprised you didn't get in. I'm 3.6 (last I remember) for prereqs, 4.0 for biology, and am taking A&P2 this semester. I remember at the info session I went to...

  9. Georgia State Perimeter College Fall 2019

    monkeyshines replied to monkeyshines's topic in School, College Programs

    I got a 92! It was a little better than I had hoped for. I have a couple of B's on prereqs from my previous degree, so I had hoped for a higher TEAS to balance that

  10. Georgia State Perimeter College Fall 2019

    monkeyshines replied to monkeyshines's topic in School, College Programs

    Oh hey cool, I’m glad someone replied! I was sad the site was down for so long when I was finally ready to have a thread for the semester I’m applying for. Admissions has been really fierce the...

  11. How Do You Know When to Call It? (Career)

    monkeyshines replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Nursing Career

    Not a nurse yet, so I can't advise on the working conditions. I have had RA and Sjogrens since I was 16 so I'm familiar with what you're dealing with. Only you and your rheumatologist can ultimately...

  12. Associates Degree RN Nurse Residency

    monkeyshines replied to gemlady's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Not a nurse yet, but I hear that CHOA does not accept ADN nurses. Emory is probably the same. Most of the other big hospital systems do though as far as I know, such as Piedmont and Wellstar. I'm...

  13. Georgia State Perimeter College Spring 2019

    monkeyshines replied to LexiLex161's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Good luck everyone, and thanks to those of you who share your stats! I'll be applying in the fall to here and Chattahoochee Tech, and it helps to have a benchmark on how I'm doing. Seems like, looking...

  14. Chattahoochee Tech ASN Fall 2019

    monkeyshines replied to joraff97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey! I think I'll be applying to Chatt Tech for next fall as well, so I've tried to do some research. Have you gone through all the info on their website? I would think the transfers wouldn't be a...

  15. Southern Crescent ASN Spring 2019

    monkeyshines replied to Hailey F.'s topic in School, College Programs

    Have y'all heard if they have a timeline yet for getting accreditation for the program? I won't be applying until next year, and have other schools I'm trying for too, but I've kept an eye on this...

  16. Bad GPA graduating undergrad, options for BSN?

    monkeyshines replied to DooleysSlave's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The issue is that every school has slightly different prereqs. I would look at the chart of NCLEX pass rates, find the good programs, and look at their prereq list. You can look up old posts on this...

  17. Georgia State Perimeter College Spring 2019

    monkeyshines replied to LexiLex161's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Did y'all look up the professors first on ratemyprofessor? I had a pretty good micro teacher. It was all online, so I mostly just self-taught, but the material and the assignments were just fine. I'm...

  18. Bad GPA graduating undergrad, options for BSN?

    monkeyshines replied to DooleysSlave's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Luckily, Atlanta has a lot of options for you. There are several ABSN programs, as you know, but they can be very competitive to get into. You can try calling up some of the programs (emory, kennesaw,...

  19. Georgia State Perimeter College Spring 2019

    monkeyshines replied to LexiLex161's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Are you doing the Micro online or at the school? I did micro online in the spring, with labs at night. It wasn't too terrible. Just stay on top of things and you should be okay. I don't think the lab...

  20. Nursing school and parenting

    monkeyshines replied to KThurmond's topic in General Students

    I agree with above. It doesn't have to be expensive to have a good birthday celebration. Let him help you make a cake. Spend some time together at a park, the zoo, whatever y'all enjoy. I've been...

  21. Extremely Lost...Graduated with B.S. in Biology but Decided to Pursue Nursing

    monkeyshines replied to grand_theft_avocado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know you hate to hear "it depends on the school", but it really really does. I have 4 or 5 in my area that I'm considering, and every single one does their applications differently. The ADN program...

  22. Benefits over passion?

    monkeyshines replied to KJCnango's topic in General Nursing

    So I'm a little bit different, but still relevant I think. I'm a federal employee, working my way toward nursing school. The benefits really are fantastic, but everything else about the job is just no...

  23. Worried I will not get in- please help!

    monkeyshines replied to nurseyyynurseyyy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like you're in Georgia, right? You have a lot of options. You can graduate with your current plan, then you can apply to an accelerated BSN program. There are several in ATL. You can just...

  24. CNA Required before RN?

    monkeyshines replied to CazAndTea's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Some schools have that requirement, but definitely not

  25. Summer BIOL 189?

    monkeyshines replied to kaydd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might get more help if you said the name of the classes. All schools have different numbering systems for their classes, so I don't know what those numbers mean for your school
