I can't believe it. I have read in the past I wouldn't hear until the end of March or April to know if I was accepted. To my very happy surprise, I got my letter in the mail today! Let the games begin.....anyone else here from GPC? Good luck to y...

Hi Bridge36, In the follow up letter we got last year, they estimated the 'start up' cost would be about $800. Well, that can be cut if you DO NOT buy your books from the school. Go to Amazon or google the book title and find a cheaper place. I p...

Hey Amanda! (aelmo14), Did we sit on the back row together? If so, HI! I spoke to my doctor yesterday about that test and he said it is normal for there to be two obviously not the answer, but two that will be possibly correct. Like the instructor...

I liked how they had the days planned for us. I stayed for all three and glad I did. I am still nervous about learning so much in a short amount of time (i.e. all the reading for the first test). I just wish I knew who you guys were so we could h...

Hey, Aelmo14 and others, Can't wait to meet you guys tomorrow. My name is Sharon S. I am probably older than all of you (ha ha), that being middle age. I just wanted to throw my name out there so we can connect in the a.m. If you feel like it, pl...

Aelmo14, This is what the form said" White nursing shoes (white leather tennis shoes are acceptable with very little color trim, preferably white trim). Clogs are not allowed. So, I would think a little color would be fine. Most of it will be cov...

I am nervous too. I don't know why I thought school started the week after boot camp. Looks like we have until July 19th. I planned on getting a 'plastic' watch as some areas of a hospital you would not be able to wear a metal watch. The ones I s...

Aelmo14, Did you ever get shoes or a watch....? I am still trying to figure out what to get. I did reorder my uniform top for the next size up. It came quickly and a was smooth transaction or, I guess I will see that it was smooth, if I wasn't cha...

Hey ladies, I took my forms to the nursing department today. So, all I have to do now is get shoes and a watch. About the shots, I have read and heard that they (the nursing dept) understands that flu shots come out in the Fall and having all three...

I only ordered one because GPC didn't suggest otherwise. They only mentioned to get two uniforms. I don't know how accurate the studies will be for us, but someone in 2012 stated the first test will be over the following chapters (their test was in ...

I ordered it through www.meridys.com enter passcode GPC7382. Scroll to the bottom and you will see it the second from the bottom. It is labeled Mer-student-NP, labeled Student Name Pin for $6.00. I hope this helps.

Hey ladies, I will be there all three days too. I ordered my name badge from Meridy's. Can you get over how heavy and large that book is? OMG, we will need to have a Chiropractor ready to adjust our backs after carrying that one around. I did see...

Ladies, Have you guys ordered your uniforms and supplies yet? I got everything this week. The only problem, my top is too small. I ordered a xs (meant to order a small) and it is too small. I will have to return it and reorder for the next size u...

Ok-bad news-I can't get any more financial aid because I have too many credit hours because of my Bachelor's and credits working toward nursing school. I went up there to make sure my change major form was processed today. I also found out only the n...

Heading there now....hope the lines aren't too long...UGH!

When did you mail your form in? I think I will be driving out to Clarkston today to make sure they get it in time. I faxed it this morning, but wonder if it will sit in the fax machine because today is the first day of registration and they are cra...

I don't think I can qualify because I already have a Bachelors Degree.

aelmo14, That is the same form I found online yesterday. Well, I will be faxing that puppy over to them today...probably more than once to make sure someone gets it and enters it. Did you send yours to Clarkston? And, did you send it to anyone in ...

aelmo14, Where did you get a change of major form? I have a feeling I won't be able to get this done by tomorrow. I may have to drive down to the Clarkston campus....or, can you do it at any campus (I am closer to Dunwoody)? I printed out the appea...

Aelmo14, Do you remember the name of the form? I printed out the form online for appealing your financial aid, but it says to have a study advisement form completed and signed by your academic counselor (don't even know who that is....maybe Renee?)....

TripleA, I wanted to take the course, but with the summer schedule for my family (and a son at home), being overwhelming, I won't be taking it. Plus, I found out that I have "too many credit hours" to get my student loan (already have a Bachelor's) s...

Thank you for the information JessAce regarding magnet hospitals and the hiring (or not) of ASN-RN's. Also, welcome to the group!

Aelmo14, I did the background check right when we got word from GPC we would need one. I did the drug test about three weeks ago. I have all my shots except the Hep B. I had the first one, now I go back in a week for number two....will have to sho...

Has anyone started getting their uniforms and supplies? Besides the nursing uniform, where is everyone getting their nursing/medical supplies/equipment. Thanks!

From what I understand, as long as you have the second shot completed and can prove this to the school, you will be fine. Just have to give them proof you completed the series once they are complete.
