PBCC-palm beach comm. college


Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of study for the nurse Procalc and the NLN entrance exam for PBCC fall nursing program.

I read on line that this school works on a point system
I was wondering if anyone who has been accepted to the program
(past/Present) student: HOW MANY POINTS DID YOU HAVE TO
WHEN ACCEPTED TO THE PROGRAM.

Anyone with info about the program, would be helpful.

Thanks

It was about 5 years ago so memory is kind of sketchy but I think it was 23. They really look at those NLN scores and your science prereq grades.

I am applying for Fall 2008 at PBCC as well. The information session I attended in August stated that for Fall the usual lowest to get in was 22-24 and for Spring it was 16-18.

I took the NLN in Sept and got a 98th percentile, the study guide really helps. I'll have about 27 points.

I got in for Spring 2008 (weekend). I had also gotten a 99 on the test and had 28 points I think. I think there were people who got in with less. If you have a 27 I would think you are in

I'm also applying for the Fall 2008 program and I plan on attending the info session in Boca in April. I can't seem to find the dates for the NLN exam anywhere. Does anyone know them by chance?

I plan on calling them soon, but can't ever seem to get in touch with anyone.

Thanks so much, and good luck to everyone!!

Hey guys i am Going into my 4th semester and the NLN is just general knowledge its like an SAT's . That is the least of your worries you will do fine. The Pro Calc is a pain in the ass you will have to take it all 4 semesters! I just took my final one and had to get an 100. The thing is you can take it as many times as you want. You will get it! Just trying to give you words of encouragement there is a skills lab and an instructor named Mrs. Broome she is awesome at procalc anytime you need help see her. GOOD LUCK!!!!

Hi everyone, I'm new here...
I applied at PBCC for fall 08 and didn't get in with 23.8 points.
I'm totally bummed out.
The college told me this semester was the highest points they have ever had in order to be accepted.
I wish I could have applied last semester, then I would have made it!
well, congratulations to all who got in, I know you must have had awesome points!

I feel for you happy, I have several friends in the 23-24 range that didn't get in as well for Fall 2008. They got rejection letters that said the cutoff this time was 25.25ish, which is the highest it's ever been.

I think the changes they made last year with the chemistry requirement created a backlog of really high applicants. Take any co/reqs you have left over summer B, and then you should be fine for spring.

It's weird, I ended up with 27.99 points, my friend has 28.05, and another friend has 25.81 points. We haven't heard anything yet, so apparantly they sent out rejection letters, but not acceptance letters.

I think I had 28 points. It was 27 or 28, can't remember. That was for Spring 2008 (part time program) which they only have 30 seats for. I think they have 110 seats for the full time program.
