Edison State College Nursing Program 2012

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Hello all, I am applying for the ESC Nursing program for the summer this year, but I am nervous as to the points I have. I have calculated everything and I have roughly 85-87 points (most likely 87) but worst case scenario 85. I was wondering if that is enough for the collier campus? does anybody know if I have a chance? a good chance? I can still take the hesi one more time this year, I was planning on taking it again and doing better if I don't get accepted, and by the time applications for the fall semester roll around I will hopefully be done with Micro and have an A in it. Let me know if you have any idea! thanks.

I see a lot of people commenting on taking Statistics... I dont have that on my advisement sheet of classes I need to take to get into the nursing program at Edison State. Am I missing something?? Also, congrats to all that have been accepted!! Keep us posted on how its going. :)

Hi,

I am currently living in the state of GA & looking into the LPN-RN program at Edison, applying in October. Does anyone know how competitive that program is, not the basic? Also, does anyone know the scores that have been accepted?

Thank you!

Edison State College - Nursing Program This link has all of the information for the Edison nursing programs. The admissions requirements are the same for each basic program. The two math classes listed are statistics and college algebra. I didn't take college algebra, so they used my statistics score, you only need to take one or the other, but many bachelors degrees require statistics.

Hi,

Edison State only accepts during the Summer and Fall semesters and only 24 seats each for each campus. From what you can read on this thread, it's very competitive. It is based on a point system and seems to be your best chances of getting in is being anywhere from 85-100 points.

Hope this helps and best of luck to you!

SuperMehgan: Is Charlotte a long drive for you? I like In Buckingham. and I was wondering if I would be hating life if I went to Charlotte even if I was desperate. Also What hospital will you be doing clinicals at in Charlotte?

I live in Port Charlotte, so it's in my back yard. I don't know where Buckingham is :confused: Clinicals are at Peace River and Charlotte Regional Medical Center, Fawcett Memorial Hospital and Cape Coral Hospital.

Charlotte County is a very safe place to live, but it's pretty boring too. I'm a homebody so I love it here! If you take Tamiami Trail north from Fort Myers and just stay on that road, it's not that bad of a drive.

The bridge or 'advanced placement' program is no where near as competitive as the basic program. I don't know the points needed, but I know some of these students and they told me that over 50% of those who apply get in. This is in contrast to the basic program where it is more like 20%. Good luck to you, it is a great program, I am going into my last semester.

Awesome. Im glad the Cape is an option. Buckingham is about 30 mins from Edison-Lee and about 45 minutes from Edison Charlotte. Fort Myers is pretty boring as well. Once you explore what we have to offer its boring the second time around. What did you get on your Hesi? The full 40 points? I have memorized all my roman numerals, proportions, and fractions. I just hope I can change improper fractions to mixed numbers and not get confused. Which questions in the math section were not mulitply choice, where you have to type in the answer?

Thank you!

Hi Everyone!

I was wondering... are all subjects tested on the HESI at Edison? Including all the sciences?? What is the main focus of it??

I appreciate any feedback!!

Also, how long does the basic program take?? I see it says summer sessions are not included... but in the evening class they are, so is the evening class actually shorter in years??

Thanks!!
