meeep BSN, RN

Thank you! Someone inquired about a sample schedule, so I went ahead and looked back at what our cohorts was this past Fall. Disclaimer - they may be changing some things with your class, so you might have a slightly different schedule. This is just ...

In May

That is correct. But please don't feel like you're going to have loads of free time, as you sometimes have 8+ hours a week of patho pharm lectures to listen to, plus all the studying you need to do.

Britney - forgot to mention that for first semester, your clinical is 630 am - 1230pm one day a week.

I live on campus and love it! It's so nice being able to sleep in a little longer and just walk to class, especially when you're sleep deprived!

For the first month I would plan on being on campus Monday through Friday from 8am - 5pm. There are some slight variations to that, but you need to be flexible. Later on in the semester, Mondays will not start until 1pm, and you will have either Tues...

Get your BSN, it will greatly improve your chances.

A decent percentage of my class are second degree seekers, and I haven't heard of anyone having issues. They aren't independently wealthy or anything either. There are merit and need scholarships, but you will most definitely need to take out a loan ...

The Piedmont scholars program is no longer. The only online class is a hybrid patho pharm, but you still have to come to campus for exams. There is no part time option. If you defer, you will have to wait until the next Fall as they only admit once a...

As hard as it is, just relax and enjoy your free time while you can! You will have plenty to do soon enough and studying ahead won't give you much of an advantage. If you truly must do something to prepare, brush up on any A&P you struggled with/...

Congratulations! We look forward to seeing you at orientation!

You will receive an official acceptance letter if you are accepted.

They look at them both.

Congratulations everyone! The senior class cannot wait to welcome you to GBCN!

Maisoon, You are correct – only an application to the college of nursing is required. You do NOT have to apply to Mercer as a transfer student. The priority deadline is 4/1 but I believe they still take applications through May 1. As I stated in a...

It depends on clinical faculty. My cohort had around 160, but the class before us was 130-140.

I just finished my first semester as well. So thankful to have a break!

There are a handful of courses you can take the summer of your junior year at GBCN. So don't worry if you don't have them all completed. (Religion is one of those)

They're not riddles - most of the exam is made up of categorical syllogisms and sequence type questions like you might find on an IQ test. They will give you a syllogism and then ask you to extrapolate the best answer given the terms in the question,...

No. It's not up to your school. I would take the nclex in the state you plan on working in immediately after licensure.

No problem. Feel free to reply here or send me a PM if you think of anything else!

You are welcome! For your first few weeks, count on being in class or lab pretty much every day 8-4 (+/- an hour here and there, but for the most part it's around that). Once your clinical groups are assigned, you will have one day a week that is you...

As a blanket statement, I disagree. For fundamentals and health assessment, I never studied until a day or two before the exam and made an A in the course. Quite honestly, so far, there has yet to be a single thing that I found academically challengi...

At orientation, you will have the opportunity to sign up for the mentor program. You will fill out a short survey about your personality, likes/dislikes, what you are looking for in a mentor, etc. This information is used to hopefully make the best m...

Congratulations on your acceptance! I am a current student at GBCN. You are correct - a stellar essay will make up for an average TEAS/GPA. If you have any questions, ask away!
