    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    CONGRATULATIONS SWALL! svictor, I'm sure your letter is on the way. You have great scores; I mean, you totally kicked butt on the TEAS! I really think all of us have a great shot. I'd really like...

  2. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks! Lots of applicants again, so I' sure it takes awhile for them to sort them all out. LOL @ your dad sucking up, that's funny! I wonder how many applied specifically for

  3. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    No need to congratulate me, I haven't been accepted (yet), LOL. As someone else mentioned earlier in the thread, don't pay any attention to the status on GoSolar. It doesn't change until well after...

  4. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Yes, she did. She received her letter over the weekend, so some letters have apparently gone out! She applied for the undergraduate

  5. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm so happy that breezy got accepted. Also, someone I know just found out she got into the respiratory therapy program, and I'm happy for her as well. Hopefully, the good news will keep coming for...

  6. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Happy early birthday, hcs! My birthday is on Friday (the 30th), and I agree that an acceptance letter would be an awesome present! I also applied to ACE...I was thinking similar to you; maybe they...

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    OMG, that's fantastic breezy! I'm so happy for you! I feel like "one of my own" got in, LOL.

  8. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Don't be disappointed! Keep in mind that only a FEW letters have even gone out so far. Yours will come. Just be patient. (I didn't get anything yet either, so.....) By the way, I actually look...

  9. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    No mail for me. Thanks GSUhopeful. I pretty much figured the scholarships were only for those in the BSN program, so I'll keep

  10. New RN, looking ahead; MPH?

    troop949 replied to RNuninformed's topic in Public, Community Health

    I hadn't really considered "marketability"; I've always had a desire to provide health services to people. Unfortunately, as an epidemiologist, I wasn't able to do that - it was very much a desk job!...

  11. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    It's the end of the week, so I wonder if folks will be receiving letters today. Hmmm.... By the way, has anyone applied for any scholarships yet? I keep meaning to do that (both GSU & others),...

  12. New IC/IP nurse here. Help!

    troop949 replied to sauconyrunner's topic in Infectious Disease

    I'm a pre-nursing student, so I have no advice for you career-wise, but congratulations on your new position! It does sound exciting, although, given your new responsibilities, I understand why you'd...

  13. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks Ayana! I had a good TEAS score but my GPA is average, so I highly doubt I'd be in the top 10% group. Congratulations to your classmate, though! I hope to join her in the

  14. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I heard through the grapevine that Psych 1101 will no longer be required as a pre-req to take Abnormal Psych for the nursing program. If it's true, I'm more than a little ticked off - I'm taking...

  15. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Not sure, but I'd imagine the # of letters they send out in this "first wave" wouldn't be all that large. BTW, no GSU mail for me

  16. New RN, looking ahead; MPH?

    troop949 replied to RNuninformed's topic in Public, Community Health

    Thank you for the clarification. I meant no disrespect in my previous post when I made the statement about "working as nurses"; I did actually mean that they were not providing direct patient care....

  17. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Just as I suspected then...more waiting....ugh, I just want a decision so I can make the next plan, you know? This is so

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    OK, so I was a sophomore in high school when you were born, LOL. Ya know, we used to ride dinosaurs to school back in the

  19. Will they hold my first career against me?

    troop949 replied to Curlygirl9195's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unless you were a sex worker or assassin, I'd say you're safe. Big banks aren't exactly popular these days, but I don't really think an employer in healthcare will care if you worked in finance....

  20. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Yep, it took me 5 years for my first degree as well. I started out as a pre-veterinary medicine major, planned to become a vet. Then, I decided I'd be more interested in pharmacy. Ultimately wound...

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Welcome to our little corner of Allnurses.com, hcs! You have a really competitive GPA and TEAS, don't worry too much about the average. I think we're ALL competitive applicants, but the decision...

    I'm taking Howell's MW 1:50 PM class. It was the only one that fit in with my schedule (I'm also taking BIOL 1120 and Abnormal

  23. GSU Fall 2012

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Well, I'll give you that...they also updated my status to "Complete" for all of the application materials the same day I turned it in. But for the important stuff (y'know, like, whether I got...

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Welcome to our little group, floridababy! As for the status website, it really doesn't do much good, LOL. I remember checking it when I applied to the university (as an undergrad transfer student)....

    troop949 replied to breezy7's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks for the summary kuhelski. Sounds a lot like what I expected. I sure wish it was offered online during summer, last thing I want to be bothered with is a boring class while my brain is slowly...
