  1. Piedmont College applicants 2014

    mparker3kids replied to emde's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The nursing scholarship I was offered was 1,000 per semester. I am too old for hope. (39) and even with Pell I would be taking out loans in excess of 35,000 for tuition alone. I cannot imagine what...

  2. Piedmont College applicants 2014

    mparker3kids replied to emde's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I have decided not to go to Piedmont. I cannot afford it. Originally, I pursued it because of the neighborhood grant program. But, I was informed that the nursing school is excluded from that...

  3. ASN w/little debt or BSN lots of debt?

    mparker3kids posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    I have all of my pre-reqs complete, as well as an Associates degree in Business. As of today, I have about $15,000 in school loan debt. I have been accepted to 2 nursing schools. 1 of them is a 2...

  4. ASN w/little debt or BSN lots of debt?

    mparker3kids replied to mparker3kids's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I decided not to go to the expensive school. As much as I want to be a nurse, I need to think of the betterment of my family. An ASN isn't my dream, but it's 1 step closer, and I can do it with...

    This is ridiculous. We are in 2014 and racism is being confused with ghetto? Where I live there are just as much white trash and Hispanics than any other race in the government housing. So, to me,...

  6. ASN w/little debt or BSN lots of debt?

    mparker3kids replied to mparker3kids's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Yes. I have been accepted into Piedmont. But, their tuition is over $20,000 a year. And $7725 for the summer..... totally approx 50,000 before scholarships/loans/grants. I have spoken to their...

    mparker3kids replied to mparker3kids's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks for that info. Great to know. Piedmont has the best 4 year average of pass rates on the nclex. That stands for

  8. ASN w/little debt or BSN lots of debt?

    mparker3kids replied to mparker3kids's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks to everyone. Y'all pretty much confirmed what I already thought. I am going to check the accreditation of the ASN program. I know it's a new program, so it may not have everything I would...

    mparker3kids replied to emde's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I think I would have died! I think, unless you totally bombed your interview, you are definitely going to be accepted. Have fun on your trip! We should all have news when you get back

  14. Piedmont College applicants 2014

    mparker3kids replied to emde's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I emailed them yesterday asking when acceptance/denial letters were going to be mailed out. She said they should go out 1st of next week. So we can give the mailman a break this week. Next week...

    mparker3kids replied to emde's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I agree with kris. I think, depending on your interview, you have a good shot. Your PGA and TEAS are right in line. And, you have already been accepted to Mercer, so you know you can do it! Don't...

    mparker3kids replied to emde's topic in Georgia Nursing

    No, Demorest campus. But, I really feel that I am one of the lower average interviewees. Right now, I am at UNG, and most of my peers have higher GPA's, but around the same or lower TEAS

  17. Piedmont College applicants 2014

    mparker3kids replied to emde's topic in Georgia Nursing

    My GPA is 3.38 (I took several business classes = 3 C's) and I made a 78.7 on the TEAS. There are some who have 4.0, and good TEAS scores. I am worried about my low GPA, and mediocre TEAS

    mparker3kids replied to emde's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Yeah, the application date is. .... Until spots are filled. I think if we got spots, then letters should go out. Bc we had everything complete by the date. I mean if I had waited to take the teas...

    mparker3kids replied to emde's topic in Georgia Nursing

    So - did anyone else get the e-mail from Piedmont regarding the TEAS V testing date - and read that they have now extended the application date as well? I went to their website and this is what I...

    mparker3kids replied to emde's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I am annoyed with the weather too! With no one working, and no mail running, it may be another month!!! I sure hope not. I too have all of my eggs in the Piedmont basket. I haven't taken any...

  21. Piedmont College applicants 2014

    mparker3kids replied to emde's topic in Georgia Nursing

    They asked the typical questions and looking back I think I did pretty good, although I would like to have a re-do I liked both interviewers and felt a good rapport with them both. List a few...

    mparker3kids replied to emde's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Emde -did you have your interview this week? I wondered how the weather affected everyone. Mine is a little later today and I am so pumped! Ready to get this finished and move on to the next steps...
