Hello, I am currently a traditional student in my second year of college. I have applied to 6 nursing schools to hopefully begin this fall (Aug 2011). There are only two I really want to get into, and will be crushed if I don't.. But that's besides t...

Hey! I have applied to Dalton State College's Nursing Program for Fall 2011 and was wondering if anyone else had applied previously and when they got their letters? I'm getting anxious and haven't seen anything else on this website about when people ...

Yeah they do, they require the PAX entrance exam. I thought it was relatively easy though, I got a 95 on it.

Congrats!! I'm excited! Do you know how many people they accept each year?

Yeah, I got accepted! How about y'all?

I called yesterday and they said they are planning on the letters going out the week of the 21st, only a week and a half left!!

Momo- I called and they're not allowed to tell how long the wait list, all the lady said was that "there are a lot of names on it".. She said that they have gone over halfway through the wait list before, although it is highly rare. She told me that ...

Ahh hopefully it'll come sooner than that! I'm super anxious about hearing back from any of the nursing schools I applied to. I'm contemplating going to the open house the 26th of this month. Because if I don't get in to the nursing school then going...

Yes Please! Keep those fingers crossed Does anyone know how long the wait list is? All I was told was that I'm about half way down on the list.. But that list could be 5 people, it could be 20 people.. So I really don't know what my chances are..

Some career's aren't for everyone but if you haven't been trying long I wouldn't give up just yet! The fact that you got an 89 on the TEAS shows that you're VERY smart! I had to retake a few classes to bring my GPA up, maybe you should try that? Wha...

Well I'm surprised your TEAS score didn't balance out the GPA some, an 89 is INCREDIBLE! But they consider the GPA a little more than I hoped too, because even with a 3.5 I wasn't accepted..

Yeah commuting isn't fun but at least there isn't much traffic going up to Dahlonega! The only thing I can think of for why I wasn't accepted is the fact that I retook 3 classes that I originally had 2 C's and a B in... I guess that was weighted agai...

Congrats!! What was your GPA and TEAS? Was it your first time applying? And which location too? Sorry for all the questions! I'm just trying to figure out why I wasn't accepted

Haha Well I'm glad yours worked out well! Did you get accepted?

Jody, you have a higher GPA and TEAS score than me though. The GPA isn't too much of a difference but 6 points on the TEAS is a pretty big difference when you get into the 80s. But Congrats!! I'm thinking the same thing about the campuses, I kind of...

Their main one in Dahlonega. I actually had the Gainesville location first, but called about 2 weeks ago to switch because even though Dahlonega is an hour away, there's no traffic going up there and back, so I switched. But I was pretty surprised t...

For the people who have been accepted, How many times have you applied to North Georgia's nursing program and been placed on the wait list? This was my first time applying and I was put on the wait list. But I have a 3.65 and got a 80 on the TEAS V. ...

B-Dog, Thanks for some great advice as well. I am willing to do any and everything to help my chances, so thank you for your help! Thanks Wolfpack as well, I'll remember that when I start working as an RN. I can imagine that will be important as well...

Yep, nothing for me either yet! I say don't check till next Monday. Especially since the lady I spoke with was only hopeful that they would go out at the end of this week, not certain they would. Unless you live really close to the campus, the chance...

I couldn't remember the name of the book I used, but I just looked it up. Its: McGraw-Hill's Nursing School Entrance Exams: National League for Nursing Pre-Admission Examination (NLN PAX-RN); Nurse Entrance Test (NET); Test of Essential Academic S...

I took the PAX about a month ago and did pretty well. I realized the science is weighted the heaviest. I got a 77 (around there, can't remember) in math, and a 87 ( again, can't remember specifically) in english, and got a 97 on the science and I cam...

Another question Rabid Response- Is there a certain type of volunteer work that would help me the most when applying? Like is it better to volunteer in a hospital, or is volunteering in the community anywhere just as effective in making my applicatio...

Rabid Response- Thanks so much! That is a lot of great advice, and I will definitely be taking all of it. I posted on the CRNA forum because that's the best place I can get advice for this profession. Going to the Pre-Nursing forum and asking these ...

Hey everyone! I'm joining this a little late but I also applied to North GA for this fall! I talked to someone in the nursing department today and they said they're hoping letter's go out by the end of this week! I'll be checking my mail box every d...

Kah5209- I've had a couple surgeries myself and the most interesting part to me was meeting the anesthesiologist and nurse anesthetists and talk to them about what they would be doing and how it would affect my body. I kept asking more and more quest...
