Hello So, I'm a junior in high school, and I plan to get a BSN degree and become an RN, and eventually become a nurse practitioner. I need to start applying to colleges soon, and I really need some advice and suggestions! My parents require that I stay in Georgia and attend a public college, in order to get financial aid from HOPE (it's not easy sending twins to college at the same time in this economy!)

I have a 3.93 GPA, I take nearly all AP/IB classes, and I am very confident that I will be successful on the SAT. Because of this, and of the low average GPA/SAT scores of the limited public colleges in Georgia with undergrad nursing programs, I know that I will not have any problems being accepted into any of the following colleges. The question is, which one is the best? I would greatly appreciate any advice covering any aspect of these schools - everything from the general atmosphere of the school, to the overall quality of the nursing program to the difficulty of individual classes. If you have attended:


Georgia State University

North Georgia College and State University

Georgia College and State University

Armstrong Atlantic State University

Kennesaw State University

Medical College of Georgia/ Health Sciences University


or would like to recommend another PUBLIC university with a good nursing program in Georgia, please give me any advice that you can! Thank you so much!

thanks :) and that's awesome! My drive to be a nurse comes from all the women on my mom's side of the family, who worked as nurses in the airforce. Most still work as nurses, even after they left the airforce. My mom was an ER tech in the airforce, and a master seargent.

do you have any friends who went to school in Georgia who could give me some advice? Did you daughter attend school here?
