I live in the Atlanta area and, while I have not applied to nursing school quite yet, I can safely tell you all schools are different. I currently attend Georgia State University, where it's all about having that magic number they're looking for as f...

The material isn't hard--it's the volume of material being thrown at you that is challenging. Each school is different, but lecture was physiology and lab was anatomy for me. I aced physiology with minimal studying, but lab was a rough. It's all visu...

I go to Georgia State University. We require pathophysiology, but not until you've been accepted to the nursing program. For the traditional track, you take bio/chem/or physics + labs, microbiology + lab, statistics, college algebra, English 1 and 2,...

There are no programs like the one you are describing in my state, but I know what you are talking about! I know a girl who took a route like that in Massachusetts and she had a 1770 on her SAT and a 4.0 high school GPA, but I don't know much else ab...

It varies between schools and programs. In my area, associate degree nursing programs would accept your GPA, especially with volunteer hours under your belt, but at my current school, the B.S. nursing program says my 3.8 is not competitive enough a...

Generally, A&P I and II, microbiology with a public health component + lab, English I and II, college algebra, statistics, human health span and development, abnormal psychology, and either Bio I and II or chem I and II.

I used quizlet.com. You can make flash cards and play study games based off of those cards that really help solidify the information, and even use others' cards that they haven't protected. There's a free app for iPhones as well that keeps the cards ...

I have had many professors who did this, including a microbiology professor. Don't let it affect your integrity and just keep studying the material to build it long-term. You will be the one who has the advantage later on when you can critically appl...

My school is primarily a commuter school with students from all over, so a classmate and I made a closed Facebook group to help each other out. We posted about it on the grade management system our school uses (each class section has their own forum)...

Quizlet has a free app that you can use to make flash cards. It's very helpful for Anatomy. Other than that, I haven't really found any.

I took A&P with neurobiology, nutrition, microbiology lab, A&P lab, and a bio lab. It is very doable, you just have to manage your time properly. A&P requires tons of hours of study time.

GSU's ACE ace program actually accepts a lower GPA than the traditional! Good luck.

According to their website, 83% of their students accepted this year were from out of state. Admission Statistics | Emory College | Atlanta, GA

Most of them, yes. I just have A&P II left for my traditional program pre-reqs and abnormal psych and communications/cultural development for the ACE program. I'm just too nervous to apply to either because my GPA is only a 3.76.

Why not get your associate's, work whatever job you can get with it, and work on an online RN-BSN bridge to get your BSN? It's only a few more classes. It depends on your area, really, but I live in the Atlanta Metro area and ADNs usually have no pro...

You're only 50 points away! Why not retake it? Most students' scores improve when they retake it. Mine increased by 250 points the second time around.

Because you already have a B.S. in graphic design, an accelerated program is an option, because, in an accelerated BSN program, there is only time for your nursing courses. All core classes and pre-reqs must be satisfied before acceptance into an acc...

Like the other two posters said, every school is different. Try asking one of your nursing advisors what the average GPA/TEAS score is for accepted students in the program. If you're concerned about raising it, try purchasing the ATI TEAS V study gui...

I used the 3rd Edition of the Anatomy Coloring book by Wynn Kapit and Lawrnence M. Elson. It was only $11 on amazon with free shipping and it helped me visualize the muscle groups, but it didn't do much else for me. Everyone is different and every cl...

Just get as close to a 4.0 in your first year of college and your GPA should boost with no trouble. I'm a little confused though, since you said your school requires a 3.0 to get in, but you have a 3.3?

I'm the same way. My GPA is only a 3.8, which is considered "hardly competitive" at my school, so I'm too ashamed to even apply. I'm trying to finish out all my core classes and pre-reqs before applying so I can boost my GPA as much as possible, whil...

I had a written and performance-based practical. The performance-based required us to make a successful gram stain and pure culture following proper procedure (aseptic technique, etc.) and have successful results on our first try. We were also given ...

Any classes on that list that you have taken at Perimeter should transfer over (Perimeter has a guarantee that their classes will transfer to any GA school), EXCEPT the ones that specifically say that they must be taken at GSU.

I haven't earned an ASN at GPC, but I can tell you what classes are required for the ACE program at GSU, as I am a student at GSU who will be applying to the ACE program soon. Pre-requisites can be found here: http://chhs.gsu.edu/nursing/docs/ACECour...

Every college is different, so I also recommend seeing an advisor, but it seems that many programs require statistics, general psychology, abnormal psychology, health and human development, nutrition, cultural communications, and some type of ethics/...
