I know the south can be hit or miss, but Atlanta is a great city to live in. Diversity is dominant here. Historically oppressed groups of people (minorities, LGBTQ community, etc.) have a strong presence in the city and some surrounding areas, which ...

Hi OP, I am a brand new grad from a GA ADN program. I think if your son still wants to pursue nursing, he should consider trying to get into an LPN program. If he is able to get in and complete that (rigorous, I've heard) program successfully, he wil...

I just took the 2013 predictor, and scored an 86.7, which was a 99% chance of passing NCLEX - its not an A but hey, it's close enough. My school requires that we make at least 95% chance of passing to test out, which is pretty tough. I did 100 NCLEX ...

I am so sorry for your loss. Your school should let you attend your mother's funeral and take a couple days off, I can't imagine that they wouldn't. My brother suddenly passed away at the end of my summer semester this year, and my program allowed me...

Our program requires us to wear business casual to class- always. During the first semester it was a bit overwhelming, but now that I've gotten used to it it's really not so bad!

If what you've experienced is a result of prejudice, keep in mind that when fighting against prejudice or attempting to overcome it, you almost have to work harder than others to get the same result. I know it's definitely not the same thing, but fo...

Oh, I understand! In med-surg 1 right now, getting ready to take my final. I recommend the Med-surg Success book (Davis Q&A Success Series) -it has helped me a lot more than I thought it would. It has tons of questions broken down into pretty spe...

My strategy was to determine which area was my weakest (science). I worked on my three stronger areas first, and then attempted to teach myself the science parts that I didn't understand- which was mainly Chemistry because I haven't taken it yet. Sin...

I'm sorry Maria. Good luck in MA school!

I'm also a student in GA, and totally daunted by KSU stats, I chose RN to BSN route, just got accepted at CTC. I think you should give GA State a shot, but if it doesn't work out try the RN to BSN, especially with your great GPA! :) Also you could tr...

A&P 1 aaaack! Don't take it in the summer! It's just such a large amount of information, and it's your basis for every other science pre-req.

Yes, definitely apply to highlands! I'm sorry about the disappointment after so much hard work, but I bet you'll be in before you know it. In fact, doesn't highlands have a nursing program that also starts in January? I can't remember. Anyway, best o...

I know Christysanchez75 I'm trying to enjoy the summer but I'm so full of questions...

I'm not 30+ but almost thirty! I am starting an ADN program in August. Just got accepted! I plan to bridge to my BSN immediately after, so I'm looking at being 32 before I get my Bachelor's degree. Better late than never! I feel better now than I eve...

Christysanchez75, you could try looking up nursing classes in bannerweb, and then doing a search for what book goes with each class on the CTC bookstore's website.

Oh no I'm sorry Lauren

You guys are on my mind! I think a lot of people who were initially accepted may decline and go to other schools of their choosing- the deadline in our email to accept or decline is July 1st. I have a feeling more letters or emails will go out after ...

I bet they will be sending emails all week. Hoping for the best for you LaurenRW88 and Maria1971
