   SBT85 replied to futurenurse1710's topic in Georgia

2. Questions about Macon

   SBT85 replied to xoemmylouox's topic in Georgia

   Macon is an ok place to live. However,if you have kids and plan to send them to public school it isn't the best. Warner Robins, Forsyth, or Gray have much better school systems. You can research the statistics and it will show you. The cost of homes ...

   SBT85 replied to Skeletor's topic in Government

   SBT85 replied to FaithWorks's topic in Georgia

   In the past it was straight through: spring, summer, fall, spring, summer (for Macon students) and spring, fall, spring, fall (for WR students). Not sure what it is now. Try going up to the school or calling the nursing office to find out.

    SBT85 replied to shjoll's topic in Georgia

    Yes I graduated in May. I started the rn-bsn program @ msc last month. My biggest suggestion is to study the powerpoints, do lots of practice questions, and when you pick an answer don't second guess yourself. Also don't cram for tests the night befo...
