  1. The printable applications are up on the Gordon site now!!! I was surprised it was already up! Got mine printed & filled out with all my stuff packed away in an envelope ready to turn in first thing Monday morning! I'm applying for the bridge pr...
  2. Gordon College Spring 2013 Applicants

    The validation test is just basic nursing knowledge from a practical nurse level - I don't recall it being that hard, but I believe we had 3 in my group that had to retake it, but 1 was due to a technical issue. I can't remember but I feel like they ...

    I'm afraid you're going to have to ask your advisor about this - they have revamped the program and have changed the class numbers that you take.. I've never even seen or heard of 1905 or 1910 - and from the fall schedule it looks like those have rep...

    The critical thinking test is very difficult to describe, it's not based on knowledge, it's more based on prioritizing and choice making and being able to apply information that you're given. I can't recall any example questions right now, but if I t...

    There are a lot of variables to it, but a lot of it also depends on the critical thinking exam you have to take, what the other applicants scores and their applications look like, they also look at the main science classes, and which professor/instru...

    casketgrrl, I think you can use any, however you will have to put a patch on it that you can order from the uniform place - otherwise I don't think they'd have a problem with you using a labcoat that you already own - but you should ask the instruct...
  7. Gordon College Spring 2013 Applicants

    There should be a company that will come in for you to order your scrubs from - I found them pretty reasonable I got a pair of pants, scrub top and lab coat for around $62 - the lab coat was 23.95, the pants were 15.95 and the top was 18.95, which wi...

    The Camp I Can for the LPNs is probably different from the generic track one that will be in Jan - but basically the we went over things we would have learned in Fundamentals (1901 and 1921), expectations for the program, signed paperwork agreeing to...
  9. Gordon College Spring 2013 Applicants

    I can certainly do that - it's on Thurs & Fri, I've got some things to do over the weekend so it might not get a chance to post until Monday, but I'll try to give you the highlights as soon as possible! :) I believe that they are similar, the onl...

    congrats to old_dude - your scores are comparable to mine. I made lower on my teas and crit thinking but when I include all my stuff from when I was young and stupid my transfer GPA is a 2.4 but my Gordon GPA is a 4.0 (2.9 cumulative) For those of yo...

    Just a heads up guys - I heard today that they have NOT sent out any acceptance letters yet - this came from a faculty member (in nursing) so I would hope that it is accurate information.
  13. Do anyone know any lpn to rn bridge programs in ga?

    Gordon College has one (I'm starting in this program in January) Georgia Highland has one North Georgia has one ABAC (abraham baldwin) has one Middle Georgia used to have one, but it says it is not currently offered and will resume again later not a...

    So - I was getting ready to go to get some lunch today and I heard my roommate come home from work but then she left again, so I came outta my room and saw an envelope sitting on the table - and I saw it said Gordon College and immediately opened it ...

  17. What are the best shoes for nursing?

    If you don't have to wear white shoes, then I highly recommend just a pair of Merrell's - I got a pair about 3 years ago now that are water proof and they are the best pair of shoes I've ever owned and they look like they're still relatively new and ...
  18. Random drug tests

    Several years ago before I became a nurse, i was in a living situation that exposed me to quite a bit of 2nd hand marijuana smoke almost daily - and not much that I could do about it, as I was graciously given a place to stay during some difficult ti...

    Last week I thought to myself "Oh the wait won't be -that- bad, it's not that long" - boy was I wrong!! This week I'm ready for it to be the end of October already! Good luck again everyone!!

    BTW - on my score it says the group size - apparently 71 people took the exam? I'm not sure if that was 71 in my group alone or 71 total, I really don't feel like there were 71 people in that room - I'm hoping that it's 71 total, LOL
  21. Hair tests are not typically used as employment drug screenings - they're very costly and most places don't want to pay for them - not only that according to wikipedia (which is not always an accurate source) the standard hair tests cover 30 to 90 da...
  22. Gordon College Spring 2013 Applicants

    I don't think that a 75 is a bad score at all - look at what the "program mean" scores are - it says the program mean is 68.7% on mine, so that means you've made higher than most people do. I wouldn't sweat it too much! Which two core do you have le...

    Good luck to everyone taking the test tomorrow!! Still no score yet Maybe tomorrow? who knows! lol
  24. Gordon College Spring 2013 Applicants

    Hiya MBrew welcome! I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was annoyed! Oh well, they won't make it very far if they do get in if they can't follow instructions. Good luck again to those who are taking the Crit thinking test on the 29th! I've checked...
  25. Gordon College Spring 2013 Applicants

    Thank you hopefullGordonGirl! You're almost there as well in a few days If your number is 79 and you turned yours in at the last minute, maybe there's only 79 people who qualified to take the critical thinking exam - I want to say there was around ...
