Have you looked into residency programs? It might not be because you lack a BSN degree but you might not have the experience they are looking for despite the fact that you've been an LPN for a few years. I know new grads w/ ADN degree's that were rec...

Anyone started received acceptance letters? Anyone care to share their stats?

Are you a pre-nursing student or newly admitted student? How about changing careers or non-traditional student? Full-time mom? Previous degree? We all share information so effortlessly and we're all working towards a common goal....but we all have di...

In my humble opinion, I think Gwinnett Tech in Lawrenceville would be my first choice. It's not far from Lithonia and honestly, I've heard nothing but good things about the program. Regardless of the program though, I think you will find some type of...

To be fair to guyjincj I've heard other people say that about GPC. I know someone who recently graduated from that program and although that person passed NCLEX 1st try, had stellar grades, and was able to get a residency in an ICU unit she felt as t...

Oh ok and ha ha I meant Hampton lol. Howard is a great school though. The semester just started but the workload is heavy since they're cramming everything that would of been covered Aug-Dec into just 8 weeks. I'm taking lecture online and of course ...

Thanks for sharing that. I'm definitely going to check it out. And you'll like Atlanta. I went to HU for a few years but since I'm from the city up north VA was a little bit too much of a culture shock for me. I'm taking Micro at GPC and so far my in...

Good idea. Khan Academy is also good w/ basic concepts/subjects too. I used that site when preparing for the TEAs but I have no idea what the Kaplan is like or whats on it. @Vsustudent...are you applying anywhere else...and did u go to VSU or still t...

@vsustudent...that's awesome :). I want to start studying for the Kaplan in the next few days actually but I wasn't sure where to start. @ilovenursing86...how are you studying for the kaplan and what study guides are you using to prepare? I really ne...

It is very possible but it won't be easy and MIGHT take some time. Did you fail more than two nursing courses to get dismissed? You only mentioned Med-Surge? I recommend that you talk to the dean of the program you got dismissed. If you have extenuat...

Great question. Not sure how much it's changed but 1 1/2 - 2 years ago the program was as diverse as the general university. We definitely had non traditional students. It was a mix of new grads (out of school for at least a year), traditional stude...

Perception of a course/semester is completely subjective AMF7 and by no means did I say nor mean to imply that patho was an easy course. I stated it was not difficult and looking back, I say that with confidence. I have many friends that feel the sa...

hopefull1n30188 Good break down. I actually don't think CTC RN program was ever accredited. Their LPN program is. I'm not sure if the RN program was recently started. Some employers take into consideration if the school is ACEN or CCNE accredited as ...

The previous poster nailed it about CTC. Definitely look into their accreditation. There program is new but by now they should received a change in status. It may happen by the end of the year but if they don't I would be on the fence about apply the...

AHHHHHHHH! MichellO thanks for responding!!! I'm just seeing this but the moderator has already removed the names :-(. Can you inbox me?? And I appreciate the feed back. I've decided to go the online route at GPC. I figure if I want it bad enough, an...

Sixela21 your plate will be full as is w/ the accelerated program. Patho at GSU is not a difficult course but it does require a lot of study time. Not sure if it's offered during the s ummer but depending on what you're taking you probably don't want...

Hi Bridge36! Congrats on your acceptance to GPC. You mentioned that your taking your couses online at GPC. Did you by any chance take A&PI online and if so how was it?

Congrats icedmarmalade and everyone else!!! Icemarmalade you've given me sooooo much hope w// your stats. It's good to know that if your kaplan is high that your still in the running. So many people have perfect or near perfect gpa's so this was a re...

Hi All! Has anyone taken A&PI at Georgia Perimeter College or Gwinnett Tech? If so, did you take it online or in the classroom and how did you feel about it? What would you recommend or what would you do if you could take the course again? I real...

Meeep, Thanks for the feedback. I totally agree. Having a "good" professor is crucial as well as how dedicated I am. I don't necessarily feel that it won't be as involved online but I for sure agree that the experience will be significantly different...

Runsalot: what was the online class like? Did you have to participate in a discussion board? Weekly quizzes? I would only need it to transfer to gwinett tech college. Maybe I can call Monday. Nurse2B2016 thanks for your suggestion. I completely forg...

Very true. I've actually taken the course before so I'm pretty familiar w/ the content even though its been awhile. I just have to retake it because of the 5 year deadline. For the school I want to get into next year I definitely need an A so I'm bei...

Thanks for your feedback guys!!! I am starting to lean towards the in class option but I still haven't figured out which school. I've read other forums that people who did it online that said they wouldn't do it that way if they had a second chance. ...

How did you guys prepare for the Kaplan and for how long? I plan on applying Fall 2015. Also---do you guys think I should retake one of my B classes. W/ 2 b classes I have a 3.67 but if I retake one of them, it will be 3.8.

Congrats on passing!!! I don't think the "need" is more different here than up north but I do know hospitals are hiring. Getting into a speciality will always be challenging but its possible. I know quite a few people that graduated and went to strai...
