GHC grad here 2013. I would state that you apply to both. I think GHC has only fall entrance now but they do have a BSN program. I would recommend checking out the NCLEX pass rates for both schools.

You wont have a problem finding a job working in a SNF here. Depending on the area and skill level(LTAC) depends on your pay. Also Home health and hospice pays well for LPN's. UHS pruitt, golden living are a few examples

I would recommend taking the classes over that you have C's in. Most schools will not accept C's in A&P or Micro; ask any of the advisors or the nursing department heads about this. Also it is not necessarily easier to get into because its an ADN...
Also you might want to try Rural hospitals. The pay wont be great but they are most likely to hire ASN student compared to the big atlanta city hospitals. I have an ASN and one semster away from my BSN and 4 years as an LPN. It was rejected from a fe...
