Hello, I am currently in my senior year of nursing school. I will graduate in April of 2021, and will take my boards in Georgia. I am seriously considering moving to Greenville, SC. Does anyone work at Prisma Health in Greenville and what are your thoughts/tips and advice for acquiring a job there? Also, the best places to live near downtown for single 40 year old ladies??

Thank you so much! I wish you the best too wherever you end up going!!

Good luck! I got accepted into Athens Tech and will begin their program in August! I sure hope you get the Golden Ticket!!

July 23rd and July 25th I believe.

Has anyone started or gone through the residency program at Grady? I will be starting Athens Tech in the fall and will graduate in 2021. I am interested in a nurse residency program and just trying to get an idea of the different ones out there and what people have liked, learned, and disliked about them.

I think it is early July.

From what I understand we will find everything out June 5, 2019 at the orientation. See you then!

Well, this is great news!! WE did it! See you in June!!!

Soooo I received an email today from Athens Tech saying I had been accepted into the program. It was from the program chair..is that who contacted you to let you know you had actually been accepted? I am trying to make sure this is true. If it is, I will see all of you in June!

Can anyone who was accepted into either the Carrollton or Newnan campus give insight as to what they feel was the accepting criteria? Such as general GPA, HESI scores, etc? Also, what is good study material for the HESI Exam? I have heard the sciences do not expire. However, I am retaking them, as I have B's and I want to bump up to A's to be more competitive.

Congrats you guys!! That is really great news!! Happy for you! Good luck in the program!!

Does anyone know what they check as far as CNA Certification? Do they require proof of program completion or just that you have passed the examination to become certified?

DO NOT PAY $96k for any nursing degree. Way too much money!

Well, I will keep blowing up his phone then. I find the communication at Athens Tech, especially in Admissions, incredibly piss poor.

bri1307. Who did you speak with? I have tried to reach out to the admissions director who sent my email. I have had no response.

I wish they would too. I am looking at Southern Crescent and then Chattahoochee Tech. I am now 50/50 for reapplying to Athens Tech for next year.

Hey bri1307. I am sorry to hear you didn’t get in. I was really confused in the email it was stated they considered previous coursework as a reason of denial. Which I really question because that would have worked in our favor. They should probably up the minimum GPA of what they are really looking at because it seems anything under a 3.4 wasn’t even considered. What is your back up plan? I wish you the best in whatever you do.

Congratulations! That is great! I did get my email. Unfortunately, I was not accepted. So a bit bummed. If you don't mind me asking what is GPA/scores on the NLN? Just trying to get an idea of what the deciding criteria was especially since I am a previous graduate of Athens Tech. Best of luck to you in the program!!!

Yes, I was confused about the email and letter thing too. It seemed odd to me they would send both. But, oh well. We shall see!

Thanks cdgood8090 for this information! Good luck!!!

Thanks bri1307 for all you've done in getting us the inside scoop. Here is "HOPING" we actually get that news on Wednesday. I wish everyone the best of luck! And if it doesn't go our way this time, we just gotta keep our heads up and attack our next goal!!! Good luck everyone!!!

Yes. It is very nerve wrecking and frustrating. I was hoping we might both get some extra looks since we have graduated from other programs at Athens Tech successfully. But, that is probably wishful thinking. Oh well. Fingers crossed we will know this next week. Good luck.

You would think.

Do you know if they like NLN more than GPA or vice versa? You graduated from the MA program right?

You have a lot of good inside information..lol. Do you have any idea how many people applied?
