   Deargceann replied to TheCommuter's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   Deargceann replied to opossum's topic in Psychiatric

   Deargceann replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

9. Medical College of Georgia- BSN Summer 2010

   Deargceann replied to nurseynurse89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Deargceann replied to nurseynurse89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I honestly have no idea how they accept people. My GPA was a 3.6 I think and SAT was an 1130 and I had no community service as far as a hospital. They might have looked at my volunteering with a rape...

    Deargceann replied to Deargceann's topic in General Nursing

    Deargceann replied to Deargceann's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone. I pretty much figured L&D was out, I don't really want to be elbow deep with sleeves on. lol. I wasn't sure about OR since they are usually knocked out anyway. I'm used to people...
