First of all, no nursing program is perfect. Believe me, I have friends in other local nursing programs and GPC is great compaired to some others. No job is perfect either! I feel sorry for negative people who expect to have everything handed to them...
Bridge36, I did a CNA class over the summer to try to help me since I had no prior medical knowledge and got my CPR through them. Go to www.heart.org and you can search for classes near you (they usually offer them at a hospital). Just make sure you ...
bridge36, They do sell some of the books you will need in the bookstore, I know the Fundamentals book is sold in there, but unless you receive financial aid and want to use it to purchase your books, I would suggest searching online because I got min...

Congratulations!!! I am crying while reading your story. I know this will be me!! I have 4 weeks left until graduation and I am scared that I wont even have the courage to schedule myself for the NCLEX! I am scared that I will keep putting it off - s...
I am not sure if the ADN programs are easier to get in to because they are all competitive. Do not put all your eggs on one basket! I wanted the ADN route because I am older with a family and wanted to do it as quickly as possible. There was talk yes...
Good Luck Everyone! I am in my last semester at GPC and it has been a great journey! It is very doable with family/kids. I noticed someone mentioned taking a CNA class over the summer, and I can say that really helped me when I started GPC. I was not...
Hello, Does anyone know if Nursing Central comes with a code and a CD? Basically, I want to know if I buy it can I put it on both my phone and my computer at home? Thanks :)
That is the same calendar I was looking at and it is open on Mondays. I have tried calling the school to see how check-offs are done. For some reason I was thinking it was a first come, first serve basis. But I do not know if that is correct and I do...
Are there any current nursing students who can tell me how Monday's go? I know we don't have class, but I think that is when skill checkoffs are done. I have something to do on Monday mornings and want to know if it will be a conflict before I commit...
Sorry to say, but the email we got from Mrs. Creel awhile back said they can no longer offer Nursing Central App for free to the nursing students, and if we want it we will have to purchase it ourselves. I am assuming it is because of the financial i...
@aelmo...I have a TEAS V study book with 2 tests in it, I can sell it to you for cheaper than the bookstore. PM me if you are interested. The study guide is very helpful and some of the same questions in the book were on the test! @tygaspoohbear...I ...
@mangopeach - Congratulations on passing your NCLEX! That is awesome news! Also, thank you for sharing what you used to study for it! This is valuable information. So it sounds like most of your class made it through, with the exception of a few. Tha...
I was in the same boat, but knew I wanted RN. Find a community college that is on quarter system to complete your pre-reqs. Go to the nursing school and get a list of what they require for their pre-reqs. If you are at a school that is on the quarte...

@nurselizzy...I am the same as you...I have to study really hard for a good grade - they dont come easy to me. I have not been to school for 15 years when I decided to go for my RN and was scared out of my mind! The thing that helped me most, beside...
I had orientation on July 26 and that is when it hit me that it is real! When I was sitting in an auditorium because there isint a classroom large enough to hold all of us, I was looking around thinking...'wow'! Then they gave us our reading materia...
@mangopeach...Congratulations! :yelclap: If you don't mind me asking, how many people did you start out with and how many ended up completing the nursing program/graduating with you? What study materials are you planning to use to study for the NCLEX...
It was alot of information! It sure does feel real now! She told us our first test is Sept 4th and it is over chapters: 1, 17, 21, 27, pg. 198-210, pg. 222-228, pg. 55-59 & pg. 1521-1538 in the Fundamentals book! One lady also said that if you ha...
Same here! Orientation is tomorrow and school starts on Aug 20th! I am nervous/excited at the same time! Good luck to everyone on their new journey to becoming a nurse
I can't wait either! I am nervous/excited about tomorrow! I do not know my way around campus and not too sure where the CH building is, but I know it is not at the nursing campus. @mg100...when I was there last week (to visit the much loved financia...
@Zebra...thank you so much! I looked online and it says exactly what you said it should (mine actually says nursing too). I also logged on to the Federal Loan Website and it says exactly what you are saying. I think the lady from finaid who emailed m...
Hey All! I am so excited about orientation coming up! However, I am not too excited about my most recent email from Financial Aid. I am new to GPC, and my last school did things a bit differently. So, if any of you out there are GPC students, maybe...
