  1. GSU Fall 2012

    Heard from a trusted source today that decisions are being made already...these might just be for those who turned in their packets early or have top GPAs/scores, but just throwing that out there for...
  2. The Mockery of Nursing

    I just wanted to pop in and say that, as a snarky 2nd career pre-nursing student, I *love* this thread. Educational and hilarious. I hope to not be one of "those types" of nursing students/new...
  3. GSU Fall 2012

    svictor, thank you so much for the additional information. I really feel terribly that you have to go through this whole agonizing process AGAIN! If I had any say, you'd be able to jump right back...
  4. GSU Fall 2012

    breezy, I made a promise to myself not to obsess over the mailbox for the next 2 months! Besides, all I usually get are bills and junk mail anyway. At least we have school to keep our minds...
  5. GSU Fall 2012

    Just handed in my ACE application a few hours ago, and ATI just posted my TEAS results. My stats are below: Program GPA = 3.68 TEAS = 90.7 It's in God's hands now. I'm praying for all of you,
  6. GSU Fall 2012

    Thanks for the info about the CV issue, GSUhopeful. I guess I won't bother adding it then, but I agree that it is rather upsetting that they won't even look at it. There's so much more that qualifies...
  7. GSU Fall 2012

    Cool, I'm taking Clancy now, but I want to take Ross for summer. I hear she's tough, but an excellent instructor. I'm up for the challenge. I plan to turn in my app tomorrow. I'm leaving right now...
  8. GSU Fall 2012

    I'm applying to the ACE program. I wish the fact that I already have a BS in micro and an MPH counted for something! I'm actually revising my short answers and essay at the moment, so yeah, no...

  10. GSU Fall 2012

    breezy7, are you taking A&P 1 right now? I am taking it, and doing well in it (so far, LOL). I plan to take A&P 2 this summer. We seem to be in the same boat! I haven't turned in my...
  11. GSU Fall 2012

    How did you do breezy? I'm taking it next month. Been reviewing the study manual, and it doesn't seem too bad, but I haven't taken a standardized test in eons. Were you
  12. Career change - M.P.H. into nursing

    I swear you jumped into my brain to post your reasons for choosing nursing! I feel the same way - I want to have more face time with people, instead of seeing them as numbers in a database. I will...
  13. GSU Fall 2012

    Did anyone else attend the transfer student orientation (INCEPT) last Friday? I didn't even think to post about it before then...I may have seen some of you
  14. GSU Fall 2012

    I'm also taking A&P in spring and fall, but I have a BS in micro so I have a lot of the prereqs already (although it was a long time ago!). Like the first poster, I'm going to take the TEAS at...
  15. Unemployment & Nursing School

    Yes, I thought that the max was around 26 weeks, at which point you had to reapply. I am considering starting a nursing program early next year, at which point my current job will be ending. I was...
  16. Career change - M.P.H. into nursing

    That's something to think about, but from what I understand, I'd have to have a specialty in mind in order to apply to those programs. I'm still unsure of what I'd like to do, although there are a...
  17. Entering nursing with an M.P.H. - where to look?

    Thanks so much for the advice! I guess I hadn't really considered the specifics of the BSN curriculum, but you make a very good point. I will definitely continue to explore the BSN
  18. Career change - M.P.H. into nursing

    Great advice, I will look into a volunteer position. And I'm no stranger to the unpleasantries of the human
