   DownStethoscope replied to futurenurse1710's topic in Georgia

   I mainly miss the camraderie. I had a lot of good times in Smith Hall. We started with a class of 125 and graduated 88, I believe. I don't know how that translates to other schools, though.

   Well, to be honest, I transferred into Gordon from a larger state school. There, my GPA was a 2.2. At Gordon, i managed to finagle a 3.8 or somewhere about. But, the NET test and the essay can help you out, too. Good luck to you!

6. Difficulty getting new grad RN job?

   DownStethoscope replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in Georgia

   I really had no trouble finding a job. I really got hired before I graduated and passed the NCLEX. Maybe the fact that my mother worked as an RN there for so long helped out, but I digress, . Henry Medical and Southern Regional are hiring LPNs. I...

7. prereq's at Gordon....

   DownStethoscope replied to ImaDreamer's topic in Georgia

   honestly, i thought the pre-reqs at Gordon were a joke. The professors there spoon feed their students. It will not prepare you for what the nursing program is like. I can guarantee that. A&P tests consisted of matching questions in groups of ...

   DownStethoscope replied to futurenurse1710's topic in Georgia

   Mr. P was the best. I just graduated from Gordon last May. It was two of the best years of my life, not to mention two of the hardest! These professors really care about their students. If it wasn't for Professor Mc. (she recently left) and Ms. C....
