  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

  3. Thank You Note to GPC's Nursing Program

    abmsam replied to stillbetteryet's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Me: 1280 SAT as a sophomore in high school NET: 96th percentile GPA: Currently 3.86, even when considering the C I brought home from GPC's nursing program my first semester Advanced and AP courses...

  4. Thank You Note to GPC's Nursing Program

    abmsam replied to stillbetteryet's topic in Georgia Nursing

    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

    abmsam replied to stillbetteryet's topic in Georgia Nursing

    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...

  7. Thank You Note to GPC's Nursing Program

    abmsam replied to stillbetteryet's topic in Georgia 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...

  9. GA Perimeter College

    abmsam replied to carostar's topic in Georgia Nursing

    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...

  10. Georgia Perimeter College

    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,...

  11. Evening or Hospital Based Programs

    abmsam replied to 2beanicurn's topic in Georgia Nursing

    HOPE does depend on your grades. Gotta have a minimum

  12. Georgia Perimeter College

    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...

  13. Georgia Perimeter College

    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...

  14. Georgia Perimeter College

    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...

  15. Georgia Perimeter College

    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...

    abmsam replied to gahnosah's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Yes. A bachelor's degree program. I have a friend who graduated two years ago, and she loved

  17. Question about GPC

    abmsam replied to 2bnurseguy_2005's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I concur. I LOVED GPC for my pre-reqs. In fact, I'm taking my last class at GPC now, before transferring. Just do your

  18. Question about GPC

    abmsam replied to 2bnurseguy_2005's topic in Georgia Nursing

    GPC will not give you straight answers regarding their pass rates, etc. From what I've heard from a student who graduated this month is that about 26 of the 150 original students from both campuses...

  19. The few... the proud... THE GPC GRADS

    abmsam replied to suture_self's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Again, a HUGE congrats to you guys. I really admire you for sticking it out and making it through. YIPPEEE!!!:balloons: Do you guys know how many of you are going to graduate? And if you are at...

    abmsam replied to rollie's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Congratulations to you both!!! That's a huge accomplishment!! You'll be fantastic nurses!!!

  21. GPC Letters

    abmsam replied to lakemommy24's topic in Georgia Nursing

    AMEN! I've been preaching that for a year, not because I don't like the school. I love GPC, just not the nursing program. It will break you. Mentally. If you can go anywhere else, please take my...

  22. GPC Students - how was your semester?

    abmsam replied to rollie's topic in Georgia Nursing

    After GPC, I applied to Athens Tech and NGCSU. I was waitlisted at both. There turned out to be space at neither. This is when I decided that nursing just wasn't meant to be for me. I'm finishing my...

  23. GPC Students - how was your semester?

    abmsam replied to rollie's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I wish the BEST of luck. I started GPC's nursing program in the fall of 2004 (Lawrenceville) and didn't make it through the second semester. I would have been graduating with you next month. You can...

  24. cumming, alpharetta, and lake lanier

    abmsam replied to mrreah's topic in Georgia Nursing

    In my opinion, the Lake Lanier area is a great area to live and work. Northeast Georgia Medical Center is in Gainesville (near the lake) and is considered a hospital that treats its nurses very well....

  25. Emory Pre-req Questions

    abmsam replied to kattunge's topic in Georgia Nursing

    In my experience, GPC's Science Dept usually will not budge on the pre-req requirement. I was in the same situation, except with Chem and Anatomy. Back then, you had to take Chem in order to take...
