Sounds like you are just nervous. Your grades seem high enough to get into programs. I would apply to 2-3 to be safe.

Don't be discouraged. Apply to Georgia Southern along with other schools maybe some ASN programs. Your grades seem fine but how is your test score (TEAS, HESI, etc)?

Congrats on being accepted. The same instructor that handled the Hybrid 2015 program is handling the Hybrid 2017 program. They also drastically reduced the number of people accepted into the program. We originally started out with about 48 and gradua...

Does anyone know if Sacred Heart in Pensacola has annual job fairs or anything similar for RNs? I'm looking to network before moving down there. I know a lot of times they advertise the fairs to local schools. Thanks

State approval is separate from accreditation from CCNE or ACEN. State approval allows you to test for NCLEX while CCNE/ACEN may affect any post graduate work you seek. Herzing is CCNE accredited as of 9/17/2014. They also currently have initial appr...

I know more than a handful of nurses that have been hired at Grady with only ASN's (not from Atlanta Tech). The bottom line is will the program prepare you to successfully pass the NCLEX. Grady has a very generous tuition reimbursement program for RN...

I was also accepted. I'm hoping to set up a carpool of people in the Atlanta area.

The key here is to read the application for licensure. Does it ask if you have ever been arrested or does it ask if you have been convicted?

I wouldn't think it would be a waste of time but I do think you should look at a few things first. I think you should see how competitive the job market is and base your judgement on that. If you live in a super competitive market then the facility p...

Some states allow nurses from bordering states to practice with only a license from their home state. It might be worth your time to call the nursing board to find out.

I don't believe that Atlanta Metro College has a nursing program. I think they only offer a pre-nursing program. A good idea is to check the Georgia Board of Nursing site NCLEX pass rates. http://sos.ga.gov/PLB/acrobat/Forms/38%20Reference%20-%20Nur...

I start my ASN in January so I'll be looking to relocate to Pensacola from Atlanta afterwards. My wife still has family in the area and would like to move back.

Following. I'd like to work with Sacred's ER in about a year or two.

Were you accepted Anointedcountygrl?

It's my understanding that the program is consecutive. I've known folks that completed the RN-Bridge program that is similar in schedule (1 day a week) and it was consecutive.

Thanks for the update.

The hybrid program only starts on odd years. The hybrid program is the one/two day a week program. The traditional program requires attendance every day. DSC: Nursing | Programs - Albany Track Students are accepted into the Albany track three times...

That is the traditional program. The hybrid course has an extended daily schedule (9a-7p). It actually combines your clinical time plus course time (NURS 1101 & 1105 first semester).

There are 30 seats in the NURS 1101 class that is scheduled for the Spring 2015 hybrid program according to MyDC. I would assume they would fill all of the seats.

CGriff, What part of the state will you be driving from?

It looks like the program will be on every Monday starting out according to MyDC. Clinical is usually held on the same day. Students usually attend clinical and then go to campus for the testing. I believe the program requires 2 days a week on the la...

I would say apply to both programs. It is always good to have a back up plan. Have you applied to Darton's hybrid program? This might be your best bet that allows you to still work full-time if needed. Darton's ASN program is 40 hours spread over 5 s...

Have you considered some type of interview review course or rehearsed your interview in front of a friend?

You might want to check out Georgia Southern's RN-BSN program. I believe the only on-campus requirement is orientation but I am not certain.

It is an associates level nursing program. The program is a hybrid of online and in person learning. Most of the academics are taught online while the testing and clinical requirements are completed once a week.
