Can anyone share their experience with the nursing program at West Technical College?

At West GA Technical College, just hopping from Savannah Tech to Georgia Southern and diving into Nursing! I'm excited but also curious about the lay of the land at West Technical College. Got any juicy insights or tips on their nursing program? Just trying to hit the ground running when transfer over! Also, any info on scholarships at Savannah State Uni? Much obliged!

The articulation agreement between TCSG and USG is clutch—Georgia Southern is one of the partnering schools for RN to BSN programs . So your credits should transfer smoothly as long as you keep your grades up.

Some advice from someone in the trenches:

• Get organized NOW. Nursing school is a different beast. You'll have theory, skills lab, and clinicals all at once.
• Practice self-care. It sounds cheesy but burnout is real. I lost 5 lbs my first semester from stress lol.
• Use the tutoring center. WGTC has free tutoring for nursing students. Take advantage.
• Network at clinicals. Those nurses you're shadowing? They might be your future colleagues or references.

For Savannah State scholarships, definitely check out the Thurgood Marshall College Fund scholarships if you qualify . And the HOPE Grant is also available for certificate programs if you need extra certifications along the way.
