I'm a nursing student about to graduate from GSU's ACE program. You need to have at least a 3.3 to be considered for the program, so i'm suprised your advisors didn't tell you that. They also have some new requirements about what grades you need to h...

I was placed in postpartum for my senior practicum, even though I have no interest in OB as a new graduate nurse. I was hoping for something not as specialized, like med-surg, or what I eventually want to do, which is ICU. I was wondering if, because...

Thanks for the response guys. Unfortunately I can't switch. It sucks because there are people in my program who actually want my spot, but the professor isn't willing to make changes. I guess i'll just have to make the best with what I have been give...

Hi! I'm applying to Georgia State University's ACE Track for Spring 2016. Anyone else out there also applying? :)

I'm actually currently in the ACE program. This particular forum is for people who applied for the October 1st deadline last year for this semester. If you want, you can start a forum for people applying for Spring 2017, although that is pretty far d...

Not really, that GPA is excellent for both the ACE track or Traditonal. As long as you get a TEAS score of 85 you should be able to get into Traditional, or around 87 to be good for ACE (this is based on the stats of students i've heard getting in th...

Does anyone that is taking NURS 2160 know what they mean by video access for Taylor's Clinical Nursing Skills? If we buy it directly off the website, will we get the access or do we have to buy that seperately?

@gsu.ace.spring2016 How did you get the uniform from Meridy's? There seems to be no information on D2L about them, and they need a code.

Congrats, Hildog and annerstine! :) I'm not sure how many people get into ACE vs Traditional. I think it may be 30 for ACE and 42 for Traditional, or the other way around.

I know of a few more people who have recieved acceptance emails, and also a few people who were already rejected. I don't think they go by the date you submitted your application, necessarily, because my application was complete only 2 days before th...

Thanks! It said "Congratulations! You have been accepted into the Byrdine F. Lewis School of Nursing & Health Professions' ACE nursing program beginning in the Spring 2016. You will be receiving a letter and acceptance packet with more detailed ...

Hey guys, I just got an email saying I was accepted to the ACE track! I guess they're sending out emails this time because it said my letter won't come in for another 7-10 business days.

@Berniex312 Wow, thanks for all that info! I can't believe only 150 people applied, but it makes sense since traditionally, less people apply in the Spring. But would that mean they'd pick people with 3.5-3.7 and a high TEAS score over someone like m...

I'm seriously starting to doubt Hugh's comments on how competitive we are. It seems he tells everyone good news and that we are competitive even though two people will have completley different GPA/TEAS scores. I know he's been doing this for years, ...

I also got that email about recommendations and I spoke to Hugh about it. He said he had both of my recommendations on file though, and he wasn't sure why people were getting that email. Basically, if you got 2 seperate emails saying that a recommend...

Did you have both recommendations sent in as well? I just recently had my last recommendation sent, so that could maybe be why they didn't send me a confirmation email.

@Berniex312 How long after sending the application did you recieve a confirmation email? I haven't gotten one yet that says they recieved my application and we'll know by mid-November, and I sent my application on the 18th. I did get an email right a...

Congrats on completing the application, firefly22! I have way more than 50 characters on each of my short answer responses, so I guess I'll have to work on that again now. I should have my application completed and sent in this Friday! :)

I would talk to Hugh before taking it again. The points for the TEAS gets really narrow after the 90's. Like, even if you get a 94 after taking it again, your points won't change, so it would have been a waste. Your overall points would increase by 1...

Yeah, it's crazy! It currently costs a lot more than what I paid for, and I took it just a month ago.

Did you go to GSU's nursing program, seasidesoul? I was considering taking the TEAS again to get in the 90's, but was advised against doing so. My councelor told me I have high enough points to get in, but i'm still a little paranoid with a lower TEA...

Hey! Their acceptance works on a points system, which i'm not sure if I can disclose the details of on a public forum since the advisor didn't even let me keep the paper lol, but if you haven't already, I would definitely talk to Hugh Grant. He can ...

Wow, thanks a lot for that! It's a similar grading scale to Chem 1151, but i'm pretty sure in terms of content it's harder. I'm not very familiar with this website either, my email is [email protected]. I can send you the Nurs 2010 syllabus if you'd...

I'm not the best in chemistry, so organic chemistry kind of worries me lol. I have the textbook and looked around a bit and i've never learned that stuff before. Was it a lot easier than A&P though? I think the worst part of Chem 1151 was the ACS...

Haha, yeah Ross would have been a lot harder. I liked Borek, too, but she was kind of all over the place for me. I still did well in her class, despite that; I like that she gives tons of extra credit. I have Ab Psych with Schmidt on TR 1:00-2:15. I ...
