  1. Anyone have good luck with Portage Learning?

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

    This is the best

  2. Portage learning Chemistry course

    jlmcgrot replied to crissy07's topic in General Students

    You have to give the specific class to be safe. I've been told "yeah, we accept Portage" only later to find out they only accept some classes from Portage. Luckily I'm beginning the process and...

  3. Brenau ABSN Spring 2019

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

    Do you feel good about the program? Is it as bad as some other posts make it

  4. Brenau ABSN Spring 2019

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

    I hate to hear this. On paper, it looks like the right fit (outside of the cost), but maybe I'll have to keep it as a backup only. Mercer looks good too with their new ABSN, but I think it's even...

  5. University of Phoenix Online - Prerequisites

    jlmcgrot replied to pascal_nurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Does it have a lab? I don't believe it does. If there is no lab, it's probably a waste of your time and money. You can see if your school accepts Portage Learning. It's regionally accredited and...

  6. CNA Required before RN?

    jlmcgrot replied to CazAndTea's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The only one I've seen that I'm considering is Georgia Highlands. Of course, this requirement pushes them down the list a couple of notches. They actually don't care if you work as a CNA (which...

  7. 41 yr. old business executive going to Nursing School

    jlmcgrot replied to ESP808's topic in General Students

    Nursing is "unreliable employment?" I'm in a similar situation: Age, wanting to go back to school, management in a fortune 50 company. I have an income that is higher than what I'll expect to make...

  8. Brenau ABSN Spring 2019

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

    Thanks for the quick response. Yeah, I have a Bachelors, so the ABSN at Brenau sounds good to me. Of course, after reading some comments here, I'm not so sure. Chattahoochee Tech is my first choice...

  9. Brenau ABSN Spring 2019

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

    How did you not have the proper prereqs for other schools, while having them for Emory? That seems odd. Also, Brenau seems tempting with their 16-month ABSN, but I think it's an M-F 9-5 type of...

  10. Portage learning

    jlmcgrot replied to shalom88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, thanks for the feedback. Can you rewatch the video lessons if you miss something? I assume nothing is live since it's an "at your own pace" course. I'd prefer in person, but it's hard to...

  11. Portage learning

    jlmcgrot replied to shalom88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Interesting thread. I'm considering this, but I'm waiting to hear back from a few admissions departments first. The courses (A&P/ Micro) show up on the "course equivalency" link on one of the...

  12. Commute to the Albany State University (Darton) Nursing Program from Metro Atlanta?

    jlmcgrot replied to aroundtheworldnurse's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I haven't done it, but it sounds like a bad idea and something you'd tire of quickly. If you had family there and could stay there for days at a time...maybe, but 6-8 hours of daily driving? Not me....

  13. Atlanta area schools and Portage Learning

    jlmcgrot posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does anyone have feedback on using Portage for prereqs around Atlanta? Were they accepted/denied? Edit: I'm referring to the lab sciences here like both A&P courses. I'm sure something without...

  14. Seeking Advice RN to BSN programs

    jlmcgrot replied to RobertJo's topic in Online Distance Learning

    From my perspective, the accelerated programs don't really look that accelerated. For example, I have a Bachelors degree in another field and have some nursing prereqs knocked out. My well respected...

  15. Second career LPN

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

    I know this is an old topic, but there are a lot of options to wade through for those of us looking to pursue nursing as a second career. I have a Business Marketing degree and an MBA. It's not...
