  1. WGU RN to BSN

    jlmcgrot replied to Flightmed123's topic in School, College Programs

    So, they don't take transfers for those classes? You still have to "test out"? I already have a Bachelor's in another area with many prereqs also. I was considering taking classes that would be...

  2. University of Phoenix Online - Prerequisites

    jlmcgrot replied to pascal_nurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Are there actual tests or anything to gauge your knowledge? I know the format of most of their classes is writing

  3. Online General Chemistry

    jlmcgrot replied to Bella10's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Did you ever get any info? Commenting to get any updates. I have an old chemistry sequence that I took that I need to take again due to age. Timing is always a big thing in Nursing school with the...

  4. Chattahoochee Tech LPN Spring 2019

    jlmcgrot replied to PRican's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When do actual classes start for LPN at CTC? I know this year has passed, but I've started weighing LPN vs RN. Everything I've been working towards and planning have been for the RN program, but the...

  5. Going into nursing with no prior medical experience. Am I insane?

    jlmcgrot replied to Mmonroe2004's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "Going into nursing with no prior medical experience. Am I insane?" Isn't this probably the most common way to go into

    jlmcgrot replied to willfreedom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try this link. https://ghcssb.highlands.edu:9986/SCORE/trans_equiv.find_state I'm a non-traditional, career change student. I just want to make sure that everything I'm doing is a step in the right...

    jlmcgrot replied to willfreedom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes. They told me they would.

  8. Portage Learning in Metro Atlanta

    jlmcgrot replied to willfreedom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I was going to add that Herzing and Chamberlain also accept. The $90K price tag is a bit much (It would be less with transfer credits). It also takes 3 years because it is designed to go from...

  9. Portage Learning in Metro Atlanta

    jlmcgrot replied to willfreedom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, it's my first choice. I've been persistent on researching it because I've already passed A&P I & 2, but unfortunately they're over 10 years old. The good news is Chattahoochee Tech...

  10. Portage Learning in Metro Atlanta

    jlmcgrot replied to willfreedom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I added a little additional info. What schools were you looking

  11. Portage Learning in Metro Atlanta

    jlmcgrot replied to willfreedom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been researching it. I've been told no by Chattahoochee Tech. Based on the equivalency transfer system it looks like Kennesaw State, Georgia Highlands, and Brenau will accept. I haven't gone...

  12. Georgia Highlands ADN Nursing TRAD Fall 2019

    jlmcgrot replied to .............................................'s topic in School, College Programs

    Great info. I'll look into it, though it's a bit of a drive from Atlanta. I might have to take 2 weeks vacation for the class,

  13. Georgia Highlands ADN Nursing TRAD Fall 2019

    jlmcgrot replied to .............................................'s topic in School, College Programs

    What is NHC (at the risk of sounding

  14. Georgia Highlands ADN Nursing TRAD Fall 2019

    jlmcgrot replied to .............................................'s topic in School, College Programs

    Where do you all recommend getting the CNA certification? Is GHC the only area program that requires this? Just wondering where else I may benefit from having a CNA if I don't get into GHC next...

  15. CPR With Mickey: CNA Training

    jlmcgrot replied to StL_Momma27's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I realize this is old, but here goes. This place was recommended to me by a nursing dept. How much outside of class studying does the program require? Would you recommend it while doing a Micro or...

  16. Chattahoochee tech 2018 fall admissions

    jlmcgrot replied to Xoxmegd's topic in School, College Programs

    Did anyone take A&P over the summer at CTC? I made a B in 1 & 2 years ago, but want to retake it as a refresher (and to hopefully improve the grade) and because my backup schools will require...

  17. APII + Micro in Summer

    jlmcgrot replied to igottaconquer246's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think one of the keys here is "over the summer". Summer is normally condensed to 8 weeks, so that's a lot of info in a short amount of time. I would be interested in a follow up as I'm also...

  18. Online PreReq suggestions?

    jlmcgrot replied to student0075's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, they're both regionally accredited. My local community college/Tech College reviewed the syllabus (Portage) and said it doesn't match up with their A&P. The fairly large and well-respected...

  19. Online PreReq suggestions?

    jlmcgrot replied to student0075's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You would have to check with each school you're applying to. It looks similar to Portage. My dilemma is the primary school I plan to apply to will not accept Portage A&P, but the backups will....

  20. ABSN VS ADN

    jlmcgrot replied to amas's topic in General Students

    I'm trying to make the same decision and for me, it looks like the ADN is the path I'm going to pursue. Another interesting observation is that, for some reason, most ABSN programs require courses...

  21. Second career LPN

    jlmcgrot replied to Housebabyj's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    whoops, duplicate

  22. University of Phoenix Online - Prerequisites

    jlmcgrot replied to pascal_nurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Did you find out more or start A&P at Phoenix? The program I'm looking at accepts it, but they're unsure on Portage. I'm skeptical of a 7 week A&P course, but this would be a retake for me...

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

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

    Just jumping in to ask a quick question. The only "tough" prereq I have left is Micro. It was recommended that I wait until Fall due to how tough the shortened (8week) version of the class is in...

  24. Online PreReq suggestions?

    jlmcgrot replied to student0075's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You did this through Portage Learning? I believe that was the question. My understanding is that all the Portage labs are video dissections being done by someone else that you have to observe, take...

  25. Online PreReq suggestions?

    jlmcgrot replied to student0075's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think it's way cheaper or even cheaper at all. My CC charges $89 per credit hour. You do have to add all the other semester fees that a regular school charges, but if you take more than 1...
