I graduate with an ASN in May from UNG (formerly North Georgia College and State University.) I did not get in to the RN-BSN bridge at my own school (nor did almost every applicant at our school.) I have a 3.81 gpa! They are looking for folks who are...

All I know is that you get points for everything...being a current student, being male, GPA (especially on the sciences), TEAS, how many times you have taken a class, whether you have a Bachelors already.... You get more points for A's then you would...

One of my classmates got a phone call the night before orientation...just a few days before classes started. I believe I would have made the school eat that spot, but hey, she just finished her first year! Two more semesters and she'll forget all a...

Oh, and clinicals the first semester was the last three classes before winter break, so about 14 weeks in??? I can't remember how many weeks in a semester...is it 17 or 1,000? Lol!

Hey! Jspinnler! I just tried to message you on facebook about Global Issues...I cannot log on to facebook or anything north ga! I think it's a windstream issue at my house in the boonies. Hopefully you got my email! Congrats on your sister!!!!! W...

NikkiT09: It was great for the most part, haha! It is extremely fast paced, sooo much reading as there are only lectures with power points once a week...which give you an overview of the chapters, not really the details you are tested on. The test...

I was waitlisted last year and got my letter on the infamous May 15th. I feel for you all, and cannot understand what the hold up is! I've got my fingers crossed for all of you! It's a crazy, but great program to be in. I'll be checking back late...

Anyone hear of letters going out in May? I was waitlisted and got my the middle of May with a 3.9 gpa and a 79.8 TEAS. I just finished my first year at North GA. I actually have a moment in time to do whatever I want...sort of...I have 14 chapters t...

Wow. I get the worst person to answer the phone when it comes to North Ga! I even gave the isbn for the book and said the entire title! The girl said the psych book was not needed until next year! I didn't look at the title again, thinking she kne...

The iclicker is $45.94, tested out last year and now mandatory for classes. I think it lets you interact during lectures. There is also a $99 lab kit that we need. The NURS bundle book set has several books and along with the bundle (it was broken...

...and congratulations juliekj3!!!!!!! :)

Thanks for the info, kmp5! Nope, the psyc and doenges book are separate. juliekj3: All students will go to the main campus on the 20th for orientation. As for the Nurs 1100, I was told that I have Monday 9-11:05 and the leadership class (Nurs 1200)...

Also, the psych book is not needed until the second year, according to the book store. I asked the nursing department (talked to several people) and they finally gave me an email for an instructor just to make sure, but she hasn't gotten back to me ...

Typo on the order by date...August 20th. I didn't give my name when I called so I was somewhat of a smart aleck when she told me we had to have our blue shirts. I told her to not count on any first year students wearing them! Jspinner: Hopefully s...

I had a couple of questions for the nursing department, so I called. In the course of the conversation I found out that we are supposed to wear our blue service learning shirts and khaki's to orientation on the 16th. Did anyone get any notification...

Congrats to all who have made it so far! Ashbrock, there's still plenty of time!! I'll be praying for you! I hate that your whole summer is being weighed down with uncertainty!

Thanks kmp5 for all the info! One more question: Do we meet at the school and then go to clinicals? Or do we drive directly to clincals? How long does the day last? Sorry! Three more questions! Oh....can we buy white pants for our uniform outsid...

Thank you for your support sk8inghunny! I'm so glad to have a yes or a no, finally! I emailed my confirmation, and got a response from Linda Stover. I hope that covers it! I am hand taking my other papers as soon as possible, just to make sure all...

I got my acceptance letter as well!!!!! WoooHoooo! I was middle of the top, at the Lanier Tech/Forsyth/University Center Campus off exit 16 at 400! (They moved, so I wanted to make sure you all understood where I was going, haha!) I was so discour...

I asked if there were 50, just to give me an idea, and she said, "No where near that". So I would think 30 on the wait list is high.

I didn't think to ask that, but I really assume there are three tiers total, since we had to give our second choice? If a position opened up for any campus and I was the next in line, if offered, I would take it! I can only assume that is how they ...

I asked if there were 50 and she said, "oh no, no, no...nowhere near!" So I would say even 30 is high, with 10 in each tier. I don't know why it has to be so secretive, haha! So if there were only 30 wait-listed, with 160 accepted out of 707 appli...

Awe! I'm in the middle of the top. I don't know how many are on the waitlist, but I am sure the tiers are less than 10, maybe even 5 each. There were 707 applicants, so if you got a waitlist letter, it's a "compliment"! Doesn't do much for us tho...

Thanks everyone for the info and the encouragement for all of us! I wish the best for everyone!
