  1. help! pre-req grades

    astronomia replied to Carnm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was in your position and, while it does vary from school to school, my advisor said a B- looks much better than a W on your transcript. Just blow that next exam out of the water and talk to your...

  2. Transfering from private liberal arts college to a school for my nursing prereqs

    astronomia replied to gentlerain's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I just sent you a private message about GSU, but I can e-mail you if you'd rather. AP credit DOES replace pre-reqs. I was a chemical engineering major, so I took calculus as well. Nursing school only...

  3. Transfering from private liberal arts college to a school for my nursing prereqs

    astronomia replied to gentlerain's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I am applying to the ACE and traditional track. ACE is more difficult once you are in the program, but I have heard people with lower GPA/TEAS scores get in ACE because most people are afraid to...

  4. Taking Anatomy in Spring 2013

    astronomia replied to zeno33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anatomy and physiology are combined at my school, but the anatomy portion of the course is solely the lab. It is ALL memorization! If you want a head start, you can begin familiarizing yourself with...

  5. Transfering from private liberal arts college to a school for my nursing prereqs

    astronomia replied to gentlerain's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I actually transferred in myself, and I did not have too much trouble! You will have the most trouble getting into Anatomy courses at GSU as a freshman because you will be last to register, and they...

  6. Rockdale Medical Center, Conyers Hospital, Lifepoint Facility

    astronomia replied to transducen's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I am a volunteer at Newton Medical Center, which isn't too far from Rockdale, and I have heard many patients prefer Rockdale. My grandmother has lung cancer and often goes to Rockdale for procedures...

  7. Transfering from private liberal arts college to a school for my nursing prereqs

    astronomia replied to gentlerain's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I go to Georgia State University. They do not show any preference towards their own pre-nursing students here when considering acceptance to their BSN program. All they care about is your program GPA...

  8. Hospital volunteer interview today

    astronomia replied to Bazi-preNursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some schools will take volunteer work into consideration, and others won't. I have hundreds of volunteer hours on the med/surg floor, in PACU, in the pharmacy, and on the ER floors, but the university...

  9. Are there any colleges in GA that DO NOT require TEAS?

    astronomia replied to madamlexxa's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I don't think Chamberlain University does, but it is a profit school. Not 100% sure

  10. Should I take Chem or Biology?

    astronomia replied to bellebebe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally took both, but in my experience, nursing programs either require chemistry or a choice of biology or chemistry. It seems like those that accept only chemistry are far more common in my...

  11. What Should I Do

    astronomia replied to jonesie28's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not familiar with the program or how the military works, but I have a friend who joined the Army's STRAPS program to become a nurse because she could not get into any BSN programs with her GPA....

  12. Anyone Applying to NGCSU for Fall 2013?

    astronomia replied to milesamelia's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Oh dear, that is rough. I'd suggest taking your TEAS as soon as possible! A high TEAS score can redeem a lower GPA at most schools. I personally found the TEAS exam incredibly simple. I don't know how...

  13. Newton Medical Center

    astronomia replied to mshessle's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I've been volunteering at Newton Medical for almost two years now. I have rotated between PACU, med/surg floor, patient floor, and the ER, and am currently working the pharmacy. Like the above poster...

  14. Anyone Applying to NGCSU for Fall 2013?

    astronomia replied to milesamelia's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Most schools do rank you by GPA and TEAS, unfortunately. I was an engineering major and my recent math class was calculus, which I earned a B+ in, which is wildly more difficult than the college...

  15. Anyone Applying to NGCSU for Fall 2013?

    astronomia replied to milesamelia's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Most schools don't expect you to have your core completed when applying to the program, as long as you finish the core before beginning nursing classes or you submit some type of plan in which you can...

  16. Applying for Georgia Perimeter for Fall '13 ADN program. Have questions: TEAS, Cores

    astronomia replied to keylabridges's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm actually pursuing a BSN at a different university, but most of the girls I volunteer with at my local hospital have been accepted to GPC's ADN program. Most of them had GPAs of 2.9-3.5 and TEAS...

  17. Georgia Nursing Programs GPA/Teas V?

    astronomia replied to SunshineSara's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I recently spoke with Kennesaw State and was told that the average student has a 3.5 program GPA and a TEAS score above the national average. I'm a pre-nursing student at GA state, and I can tell you...

  18. Georgia State University Spring 2013 Applicants

    astronomia replied to socialworknurse's topic in Georgia Nursing

    My intention was to apply for spring 2013, but I had to drop my summer courses before they started, so I'm applying for fall 2013 now (filling out the apps in spring!). My back-ups at this point are...

  19. Humanities help needed.

    astronomia replied to dltorres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a full-time pre-nursing student at a university who commutes and also works full-time as a custom framer, and I can tell you that online classes were not an option for me because, in my research,...

  20. Georgia State University Pre-Nursing Students

    astronomia replied to hcs4291's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Best of luck to you guys, I know GSU's program is insanely cut-throat. I'm a GSU pre-nursing student who's applying for Fall 2013, since the summer classes I needed to apply for Spring 2013 didn't...

  21. Need a reality check

    astronomia posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First and foremost, I've been lurking this community for a while and have to say that you guys are extremely helpful and wonderful. :) Thanks for existing. I was formerly an engineering major and...

  22. GPC Nursing Program acceptance statistics

    astronomia replied to taylorc421's topic in Georgia Nursing

    First, you might have better luck asking over here in the Georgia nursing section: Georgia Nursing I don't attend GPC, but I live in Atlanta and know a lot of other pre-nursing/nursing students...

  23. Need a reality check

    astronomia replied to astronomia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the response! It is a similar situation at my university. Around 270 students apply to the program each semester, but only 70-80 are accepted. I suppose the most feasible option at this...
