Workin on it

Yes, at NG you get your ASN first then go back for their BSN program. The ASN takes two years to complete and the BSN portion can be completed with one additional year and it can even be done mostly online if you want.

I also didn't hear anything about needing to have the service learning shirt for the 16th. I will not have mine by then, and I don't see how it can be required. The uniform order form clearly states the August deadline. Also, how could all of the new...

Nursing is a lot of science, and not just during school. I was intimidated by all of the science classes at first but also knew that I loved science and would enjoy learning more. If you really hate science that much maybe you should really think abo...

I applied to Brenau nursing and was accepted for Fall 2012. I decided not to attend because of the poor NCLEX scores and the fact that they are currently on some sort of probation for the scores. I also spoke to several 2012 graduates of the program ...

Congratulations to everyone getting their letters!! I have spent close to $400 already, but my insurance is also horrible and I had to pay out of pocket for most of my shots and bloodwork. I did not have to pay the $200 confirmation deposit, I am gu...

I haven't even started my program yet and already get this. My boyfriend's mom tells people I am "in nursing" all the time so they are always asking me about meds and other health questions. I am always fast to say that I am not even in nursing schoo...

Thanks for the info kmp5! Are they fairly stain resistant? I am such a mess sometimes, I know I will spill on myself all the time. I am hoping that I don't have to order new ones all the time because of stains. I finally started all of my immunizatio...

The accepted students had to send in a confirmation in Feb. The next deadline for us is toward the end of April. I am guessing that those taken off the wait list will be getting something in May just going from our deadlines. Hope this helps! I know ...

Has anyone else applied to the BSN program at Piedmont College starting this summer? I did under the impression that I would get a grant to go there, but now that doesn't seem to be the case. Anyone know about their financial aid/grants for nursing s...

I would also like to try on the uniforms before I order them. They are so expensive, I really don't want to get the wrong size! Maybe the company has a good return policy? I will be at the info session on the 9th! Is anyone doing the "mentor" thing...

My CPR class was offered for credit through GSC, so I used it to fill up my hours this semester. I have to be on top of things, if I don't do it now while I am thinking about it I WILL forget in a few weeks!

I tried to reply to your PM but your box is full!

Thanks for the tips! Looks like I need to get myself over to the health dept. pretty quickly unless I want them all at once.

I am not a fan of them either. That is a really good idea, I wish I had been doing that over the last few months. I feel like after I get all these shots I will also get deathly ill from them. I think nursing is the only reason I will let anyone shoo...

I will probably just get all my shots out of the way now, including flu. I don't usually get one, and I am not excited about it! But I would rather just know that it is done and over with than have to go back later.

I got my CPR certification at Gainesville College. I think Lanier Tech offers courses on a regular basis and my instructor was from there.

I got mine today too! Things just got serious! Who all will be at the Gainesville campus?

Hmm, if that is the case I should have gotten mine by today and it didn't come. Nothing like waiting for tomorrow!

Has anyone heard or gotten anything from them? I was told more info would go out last week but I haven't seen anything yet! I am so nervous that somehow something got messed up!! I know that is unlikely, but I would love to hear something to reassure...

I am sure the ranking is not alphabetical, that would just be completely unfair and wouldn't always give them the best candidates. I am thinking the "list" is just those people who met the basic requirements. The better your stats the better your cha...

I believe there are 160 total spots, so it makes sense for the list to be 160 people long. And, I am sure it is a list in their computer system, easily searchable, rather than a paper list. I did not ask what group I was in and since it was last year...

She is mailing out more info next week! I am guessing what you can find already on the website (uniform info, immunizations, checkups, CPR, background check, etc.). I haven't noticed any changes on my Banner Web but I also have only looked at it once...

I actually cancelled my interview with them. I was having horrible anxiety about the cost, and what if situations, so I just took it off the table! Good luck with getting in! Piedmont has a fantastic nursing program!

I agree, GSC is fantastic. And it is about to merge with NGCSU, which has a great nursing dept. :) My opinion is swayed a little though, as I am currently at GSC and will continue to stay on this campus when I start NGCSU nursing in the fall!

I don't know since I will be starting nursing classes in the Fall. So far, the so called hard prereqs haven't been that difficult to me so I am hoping nursing school won't be the hell I hear about. I really think it depends on your learning style and...
