Hi GloryB.. i was just looking over this post and read that you extended a hand to me..THANK YOU.. although i can not pm you my email address is [email protected].. please send me an email at your earliest convenience

i totally agree with CROD2011.. you absolutely cannot listen to other people.. to be perfectly honest, my net score would have been higher if i hadnt allowed the horror stories from others about the net infiltrate my mind. people made it seem like the reading portion was just so impossible... so i had studied and practiced reading fast and fast comprehension so that i could try and answer as many questions as possible..when it was time to take the test i heard the instructor say that it is not about how many questions i answer, but it is about how many questions are answered correctly.. when i heard that i froze like "what did she say" and that made me nervous because i had listened so much to others basically, just do you, just give your work a 100 percent of you.. dont even ask people how it was for them because as CROD said people will lie or they may be weak in an area that you are strong in.. you dont want to allow their fears to infiltrate you mind... i decided to remove all of the horror stories i have heard about the program from my mind. i am just going to go in there and role with the punches and have my own experience because everybody and their situations are different thus yielding different experiences. I KNOW I TALK ALOT..LOL

no megan.. they must not be telling you the whole story of why they didnt get in my overall gpa before changing majors to nursing was 1.82.. once i began taking my nursing pre reqs i got nothing lower than a B but mostly A's which brought my overall to 2.69.. my nursing pre req gpa was 3.73.. i scored an 83 on the net.. i took political science twice before i changed majors and focused.. but once i changed majors to nursing i took it one more time and received an A. in my sciences i had like a 3.8... i was denied for the fall and accepted for the spring and i didnt even request for my application to be kept on file for the spring.. so NO it is not impossible to get into the program.. if you work hard and strive for excellence, give your school work all that you have.. you will not have a problem getting in.. if I could buckle down, work hard and get into the program with my horrible academic history.. surely you can.. im sure you transcripts are no where near as bad as mine were

Oh and to answer your question.. no i am not taking any classes I finished my pre req's in may

Thank you for responding Crystal... I started chipping away at my books in October and I only have like 2 more to buy.. amazon has them for really good prices.. i got my fundamentals book that on efollet is like $75-$99 for $33. I even got one of the required readings for $4. I am looking to order my uniforms next... I am nervous as well and i dont think people other than those starting in the program or those already in the program can even appreciate why... whenever i say i'm nervous people say dont be... i just wish i could talk to someone who started in the fall!!! I hope others join this thread as well... i have started reading in my books but this week i am really going to buckle down and start knocking out these chapters... as many as i can as fast as i can retaining as much as i can

My name is J'Nayia (jah-nay-yah) and i was accepted into the spring 2010 semester.. i have most of my books and i am preparing to buy my uniforms I was thrilled to get my letter as well..

Hi All!! My name is J'Nayia Peebles and I am looking to get in contact with people who have been accepted into the nursing program at GPC for the Spring of 2010 in hopes of organizing and powerful and effective study group. Also if anyone who was accepted for the Fall 2009 program have any advice for us new comers.. please feel free to share on this thread... thanks in advance i look forward to hearing from everyone... has anybody began to order and read their books yet? how are you all preparing for the up coming semester?

Hi cheergirl, congradulations on you acceptance for the fall 09 class, i will begining GPC in the spring. would you mind if you have time to tell me what to expect for the first semester since i will be one semester behind you? thanks in advance, i look forward to hearing from you.

were you able to make it through the program without failing? i have so much to lose as i will be leaving my husband in michigan to come to school in GA during my nursing student tenure and i just cannot afford to fail not one class i wont be working and i dont have any children, i am going to just dedicate all my time to the program. i just dont understand what is so hard about the program to the point where people make it seems as if it is impossible

thank you soo much

Thank you sooo much for the advice. that is exactly what i need someone to tell me what i can do vs how hard it is. I know its doable and i am going to do it the first time around... thank you so much and please know i will be in contact with you (if it is okay).. i cant send any messages on here but my email address is [email protected]

I AM STARTING THE PROGRAM IN THE SPRING. AND I KEEP HEARING THAT THE STUDY HABITS FOR OTHER CLASSES DONT APPLY TO THE NURSING PROGRAM AND THAT ONE HAS TO CHANGE THEIR WAY OF STUDYING... sorry for typing in caps.. just realized caps lock was on... any who.. do you have any suggestions for study techniques that will help me be successful in GPC's program? how do i begin to think like a nurse
