  2. Pregnancy during nursing school

    JenRN30 replied to rookie9's topic in General Students

    Hey Rookie, You can definitely have both career and family. I have a 2 year old, who was only 6 weeks when I went back to school, and I now have a 5 week old that I just had at the beginning of this...

  3. GA State Accelerated Program

    JenRN30 replied to able1988's topic in Georgia Nursing

    All they look at is your grades in the prereqs, so the A&P's, micro, english, blah blah blah. They won't consider your engineering classes or other sciences at all. Here's the webpage for their...

  4. GA State Accelerated Program

    JenRN30 replied to able1988's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Mix - You're in, no problem. 4.12?? You would've gotten in anywhere!! I think I had a 3.9 program and 90 net. Don't worry, you'll be fine. We had some students in the class with 3.0 and 80 net....

  5. GA State Accelerated Program

    JenRN30 replied to able1988's topic in Georgia Nursing

    You really can't do an externship because they're offered over the summer and are basically a full time job for 10 weeks. In the accelerated program you have class and clinicals, so it just won't...

  6. GA State Accelerated Program

    JenRN30 replied to able1988's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Reading really depends on the class. Some classes you need to read, some you don't. First semester, you really need to read for all of the classes, so you spend a lot of time reading. I would say...

  7. GA State Accelerated Program

    JenRN30 replied to able1988's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hi able, I'm about to graduate from the program in December. Overall, I've been very happy with Georgia State. The first semester is absolutely killer, and then it gets easier from there. This...

  8. Work or network...final year of nursing school?

    JenRN30 replied to TessaMae's topic in General Students

    If I were you, I'd get a PCT position. I'm applying for jobs now, since I'm graduating in December, and a lot of nurse recruiters are asking for this experience. If I hadn't been in an accelerated...

  9. Can I get into Nursing school with a 3.47 overall GPA?

    JenRN30 replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Students

    Have you started your prereqs yet? Some schools only look at your prereq GPA, so if you haven't started you have a clean slate with these schools. Also, some weigh the prereq GPA more heavily than...

  10. ABSN guys and girls, which pre-reqs did you take your first semester?

    JenRN30 replied to Ted D's topic in General Students

    Yep, agree with Cruffler. Call the school and ask them. That's why I did too, to make sure they'd transfer with no

  11. ABSN guys and girls, which pre-reqs did you take your first semester?

    JenRN30 replied to Ted D's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I hear you. I took these at a technical college and specifically went there because they didn't require bio 101 for A&P or micro. I really didn't want to take it. Look around, maybe...

  12. ABSN guys and girls, which pre-reqs did you take your first semester?

    JenRN30 replied to Ted D's topic in General Students

    Ted, Yeah. I never took Bio 101. I had to complete A&P 1 and 2 before I could take Micro

  14. 2nd BSN: Normal Path vs. Accelerated

    JenRN30 replied to aokusa10's topic in General Students

    Hey Thomas! I'll give your questions a shot. 1. Both the traditional and accelerated programs give you the same thing, a Bachelor's degree in nursing. The difference is that the accelerated programs...

  17. Can you PLEASE be quiet...

    JenRN30 replied to SweetLemon's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that's ridiculous. As a student, I can't imagine behaving like this in front of the staff nurses. Ditto what the other posters have said, tell them to be quiet during report or leave. Most...

    JenRN30 replied to KellRrn2b's topic in General Students

  22. Anyone currently on the GA State Nursing Program?

    JenRN30 replied to ysosa1's topic in General Students

    That's a great science GPA. I would probably take the NET again and see if you can get above an 80. The reading score could possibly hurt you. I'd say if you do the NET again and get your score up,...

  23. Anyone currently on the GA State Nursing Program?

    JenRN30 replied to ysosa1's topic in General Students

    Well, they look at your degree classes, not just your overall GPA. What is your GPA for all of the degree classes? What about your science prereqs? If you're not doing well in your sciences, hate...
