1. GPC Fall 08?

   abmsam replied to grapenuts's topic in Georgia Nursing

   Just do your research. That's my only advice. Talk to AS MANY current students as you can - students in different programs around the area. Find out the attrition rates of other schools. I can...

2. GPC Fall 08?

   abmsam replied to grapenuts's topic in Georgia Nursing

   The last class pinned was 73 students, but both the beginning class size (both campuses combined) is 150. That's a little more than a 50% dropout

   Of course they have problems, but most of the class does not fail. In my opinion, there stands the difference between GPC and other programs. Other programs seem to manage their problems more...

5. Thank You Note to GPC's Nursing Program

   It's difficult for one to make such a monumental decision by one's self when you have not actually attended the school yet. The only information to which prospective students have access while making...

6. Thank You Note to GPC's Nursing Program

   abmsam replied to stillbetteryet's topic in Georgia Nursing

   My pre-reqs were great. After I withdrew from the nursing program, I actually stayed at GPC to finish more pre-reqs that I needed to get into UGA. I have nothing against GPC as a whole. The nursing...

   I'm one of those. Wait listed at two different schools and I didn't have a year to wait. I moved on to teaching, which I love, but I still have a passion for caring for the sick. Maybe someday.......

8. GA Perimeter College

   abmsam replied to carostar's topic in Georgia Nursing

   First, nurses should NEVER have trouble finding a job. The shortage is devastating right now, and I would NOT choose GPC simply because you think you have a better chance of finding employment if/when...

   I'm so sorry for your predicament. I went through exactly the same thing. I passed first semester with 79.XX and withdrew from the second semester at the midpoint. I'm sorry to say that the second...

    abmsam replied to nursinginga's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I beg to differ! There are two instructors that care, but the rest are just as bad as Clarkston's. You're pretty much on your own. Congrats on passing the first semester! I also ended up with 79.76,...

    abmsam replied to nursinginga's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Well said, dmarie. I had to withdraw at the midpoint of 2nd semester, and I cannot describe to you what it did to me. It emotionally and physically broke me. For months. I'm a bright lady, and...

    abmsam replied to nursinginga's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The questions are made up by the instructor who gave the lecture. Therefore, if the test is over eight different lectures given by five different instructors, those same five instructors wrote the...

    abmsam replied to nursinginga's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Actually, very few graduate from GPC. 26 out of the original 150 students who began in Fall 2004 finished. The numbers are daunting. Try to apply to other schools now, just in case. Best of luck to...

    abmsam replied to nursinginga's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Good luck to you. And, yes, get out soon. This place will ruin you. I am a 2005 casualty of the program, and I'm just now recovering. Several who withdrew 2nd semester when I did are having success at...
