Orientation
Orientation is an important time for Georgia Baptist College of Nursing, and it is expected that all students will attend. A good beginning is the foundation of a productive college experience, and the nursing orientation is designed to give students all the information they need to be successful.

Student organizations provide opportunities for both participation and leadership. Current organizations include: Student Government Association (SGA), Georgia Baptist Association of Nursing Students (GBANS), Baptist Student Union (BSU), Student Ambassadors, Pi Gamma, and Phi Kappa Phi. Students are also represented on the following committees: President’s Council, Academic Integrity Council, Judicial Affairs, Jesse Mercer Stewards, and the Atlanta Student Advisory Council.
