  1. Help me decide between 2 Nursing schools

    JenRN30 replied to Jimmydaves's topic in General Nursing

    I would go Iowa also. Doesn't make sense spending at least 3 years to get to your ultimate goal of RN, when you could be done in two. Another option is to apply to a few RN schools near you....then...

  4. Low GPA

    JenRN30 replied to sclement23's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, not a student at Duke or ECU, but how are your grades in the prereqs, especially the sciences? Have your grades improved a lot in the past few semesters? These may be factors that weight...

  11. GPC to GSU Transfer

    JenRN30 replied to fdlink085's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hey, guys. The only prereq to taking psych 3140 at GSU is having previously taken psych 1101 (or psych 101, etc) and having had a grade of C or better. Believe me, it's a good thing that this class...

  12. GPC to GSU Transfer

    JenRN30 replied to fdlink085's topic in Georgia Nursing

    No, youneek, the GSU accelerated program is already open to everyone who has completed the core courses. You're right though about the GPA requirements. 3.0 with a degree, 3.25 without. Whoever has...

  13. GPC to GSU Transfer

    JenRN30 replied to fdlink085's topic in Georgia Nursing

    In my class, probably 2/3 of the people have degrees. I don't think that they necessarily prefer people with degrees, it just has a lot to do with getting all of the core classes out of the way....

  14. Georgia State Nursing

    JenRN30 replied to swimmomga's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Quite a few people in my class got in off the waiting list. Also, I know many people who didn't get in the first time, reapplied, and got in the second time. Don't be too discouraged. Keep...

  15. What is it most time-consuming you are studding now?

    JenRN30 replied to Tiare's topic in General Students

    Yeah, pharm and med-surg were most time consuming. I'd consider reading up on some drugs out of your pharm book and brushing up on your A&P if it's been awhile. Good luck to

    JenRN30 replied to EricNY's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Eric, You can just apply for the license of the state you want to go to. So, if you want to go to California right after school, you just apply to the California BON for a license in that state....

  21. R.N. BSN Programs in GA

    JenRN30 replied to RNDreams's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Holy cow Christine!! You have a lot to say! Ha ha. Anyways, Britt is right. You should probably just pick a school, and go there to finish prereqs. The problem is that all the schools have a few...

    JenRN30 replied to fdlink085's topic in Georgia Nursing

    JenRN30 replied to tracyd77's topic in General Students
