  3. emory university GPA

    rollie replied to RNadia's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Emory is easier to get into than the public nursing schools. Public schools are a lot more competitive because Emory is so expensive!! You get the same

    rollie replied to %63theend's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Just out of curiosity - why does KSU send out letters so

  5. Is this a good offer?

    rollie replied to ttbird1's topic in Georgia Nursing

    It seems low to me. I wonder what hospital you are talking about? Of course it could be that they are able to offer less because of the economy now and it's harder to get a nursing job (at least in...

  6. Atlanta area nurses...I need to vent!!

    rollie replied to TeeTee,RN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I understand your frustration. I work at Emory and the majority of the senior nursing students I've worked with lately said they are all having problems finding jobs - same reason as you. The only...

  8. Georgia NCLEX pass rate

    rollie replied to youneek28's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I graduated from GPC in May of 06. We began in the fall of 04 with about 140 people I think and only 21 graduated with me in 06. And over half of those were repeating a semester. BUT I have heard that...

  9. a few questions on GPC

    rollie replied to able2009's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Honestly it was a really hard program with a high failure rate. I graduated but only 22 of our original starting class of 140 graduated. That being said, I have heard they have revamped the program...

  10. a few questions on GPC

    rollie replied to able2009's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I graduated from GPC in 06 and you don't get to pick your specialty for clinicals. You do a basic fundamentals rotation, a med surg rotation, a short mother baby and OB rotation (i got to be in on one...

  11. Is it difficult to find a job in ATL?

    rollie replied to fazeila921's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I graduated 2 years ago and got 3 offers right away. I think there are plenty of jobs for RN's as long as you're flexible as to what area you enter. For example it will be extremely difficult to get...

    rollie replied to chris meyers's topic in Georgia Nursing

    rollie replied to stillbetteryet's topic in Georgia Nursing

  16. When should I start applying?

    rollie replied to srg4784's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I work at Emory in Atlanta and they'll hire you before you're licensed but only as a nurse extern (which is essentially the same thing as a nursing asst.) You can not pass meds here, etc. without a...

  17. Is Emory A Good Hospital?

    rollie replied to gerryNYC's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hey there - Chloe is a bit off. I started at Emory in August of 06 and THEN they were starting new grads at $21.20. The pay at all metro atlanta hospitals is about the same for new grads. When I was...

  18. Getting into GPC

    rollie replied to 2bluckynurse1's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I think you're being paranoid. They get so many applications they're not having time to look at your dropping history. I think they only look at gpa, science gpa and net score. I graduated from gpc...

  21. Thank You Note to GPC's Nursing Program

    rollie replied to stillbetteryet's topic in Georgia Nursing

    They can't just "get rid" of their current administration. That would be great but there are simply not enough nursing educators at this time. Not many nurses are going into education and the aging...
