  1. GPC FALL 2012

    watashi replied to metoyou's topic in Georgia Nursing

    In case anyone else has not yet done their medical forms, the student health center on the Clarkston campus does them for a very reasonable price, and it was easy and quick to get an appointment....

  2. High school junior considering nursing - best Georgia undergrad programs?

    watashi replied to jenjen830's topic in Georgia Nursing

    JenJen, I don't know much beyond what is on the websites about the nursing programs themselves, since I am just starting nursing school myself in August. I will be going for an ASN at Perimeter...

  3. Did you take all non-nursing classes first?

    watashi replied to haileyjewell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with everyone who said get the non-nursing courses over with. My school says that while you only need A&P1 to apply, you should have no more than 6 credit-hours of non-nursing coursework...

  4. GPC Compass

    watashi replied to Nurse2B2016's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Yes, they seriously can. I am not surprised by anything GPC's admissions department does. I have a Bachelor's from Vanderbilt and a Master's from Georgia Tech, both in Electrical Engineering, both...

  5. GPC students shed some light!

    watashi replied to Nurse2B2016's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The TEASV science had very little A&P, and no micro that I can recall. It was mostly stuff you should have learned in high school, although if you're like me you probably don't remember it. I...

    mg100, I thought they said we had to take the American Heart Association version. Red Cross was not

  7. GPC FALL 2012

    watashi replied to metoyou's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The $97 version on Amazon is both volumes in one. The two volume set is the same material, but formatted for people who find two volumes easier to deal with than one gigantic

  8. GPC FALL 2012

    watashi replied to metoyou's topic in Georgia Nursing

    It does have a cd and an access code. It is the only one I bought new, since the day I was shopping there weren't any "used like new" copies available for much cheaper. I paid $92m but someone...

  9. GPC FALL 2012

    watashi replied to metoyou's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I got the three on the "required" list: Fundamentals, Nutrition and Medical-Surgical. I also got #10 - Davis's Tests. Then I saw (I think in this forum) that the Davis stuff is available online, or...

    Do we need to wear uniforms for anything but clinicals? I am wondering how many to

  12. How many much older (40+) students out there starting classes? (I'm 47)

    watashi replied to nursingstudent3109's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also am 56. I was an engineer for 20 years, then homeschooled my children for 10. I have just finished pre-reqs and will start nursing school (ADN) in the fall. I took all my classes online...

  13. GPC FALL 2012

    watashi replied to metoyou's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I have not heard anything from them, either. I did the drug and background check, and ordered the mandatory textbooks from Amazon (mostly used). Still need to do the CPR and physical. I am concerned...

  14. Breast Cancer Support Group Topics??

    watashi replied to salvati08's topic in Oncology

    Another thing I WISH had been available - discussion **with photos** of what we can expect to look like during and after various procedures. What is considered "excellent", "good", "fair", "poor"...

  15. Arimidex Hair loss

    watashi posted a topic in Oncology

    I am a pre-nursing student (starting nursing school fall 2012) and was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago. I have not gotten a good answer elsewhere on the internet, nor from my oncologist,...

  16. Breast Cancer Support Group Topics??

    watashi replied to salvati08's topic in Oncology

    Two years after diagnosis, 9 months after treatment, here are some topics I would have been/would still be interested in: 1. Late effects of various treatments 2. Physical therapy and exercises for...

  17. Georgia Perimeter College ADN Program??

    watashi replied to redhedmatt's topic in Georgia Nursing

  18. GPC FALL 2012

    watashi replied to metoyou's topic in Georgia Nursing

    You are right, ummnasim. I just went and checked their website, http://depts.gpc.edu/~gpcnurs/apply.htm and they have changed their policy since I applied last fall for 2012. Now they do want you...

  20. GPC FALL 2012

    watashi replied to metoyou's topic in Georgia Nursing

    It wouldn't hurt to apply now. They won't make a decision until next spring anyway, and they will look at your grades up to then. They want to see that you will be pretty much done with pre-reqs and...

  21. Georgia Perimeter College ADN Program??

    watashi replied to redhedmatt's topic in Georgia Nursing

    According to the gpc nursing website, http://depts.gpc.edu/~gpcnurs/pospre.html , you need a 2.7 average in science pre-reqs. Even with a C in micro, your average will be 3.0, so it looks like you...

  22. Georgia Perimeter's Nursing Progran

    watashi replied to Stewart22's topic in Georgia Nursing

    groovycindy and RockabillyMommy, could you tell us where you did clinicals? I have been accepted at GPC for fall 2012, but I am a bit worried now since I have heard that several big Atlanta hospitals...

  24. GPC FALL 2012

    watashi replied to metoyou's topic in Georgia Nursing

    You don't need to be done with science before applying, but they do like you to be done with all your general education before you start nursing coursework. According to the acceptance package, you...

  25. ASN vs BSN

    watashi posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    This may have been discussed to death elsewhere, but I couldn't find anything recent, and it seems like things are changing this year. I applied to Georgia Perimeter's nursing program for Fall 2012,...
