1. Am I out of options?

   Risky replied to mfigg's topic in Florida

   I knew I didn't want to go the private school route (too expensive), so I was determined to find a state college that would accept me. My pre-req GPA wasn't the greatest 3.3 and I knew I wouldn't get accepted at HCC where I did my pre-reqs so I trie...

   My friend got accepted in HCC's RN program and she told me she didn't require a TEAS score and her GPA was 3.3

   I had Gregory Bohm and he was by far my greatest professor ever. Did not lecture from a power point and made sure we all knew how the systems worked and broke everything down for us. Made the information very entertaining. One of those teachers yo...

   That's funny because it was my A&P II professor at HCC who recommended PHSC to the class as an excellent choice to get their RN and BSN lol

   With scores like yours why don't you apply to HCC or SPC? If I had my choice I'd MUCH rather be at HCC but their program is insane competitive and my 3.0 GPA won't give me a chance even for their transition program.

   I slipped a $100 bill in with my app. That might have gotten me some extra points haha. In all seriously, like I been saying, I'm sure the GPA + TEST + Residency isn't concrete. I wouldn't be surprised if they just threw darts on a huge dartboard o...

   I'm pretty sure you need to have your CNA license from the Florida Board of Nursing to practice as a CNA. Fun fact. I had my CNA license and LPN license when I applied for a CNA position since there were no nursing positions available at the nursin...

   When is orientation and is it for everyone (RN, LPN and bridge) at the same time and date?

   Hmm, wish I was going to West Campus because it's beautiful out there. At least porter campus you get a parking garage though.

    When do the immunizations and CPR stuff have to be done?

    This makes zero sense. I got picked as an alternate instead of a flat out rejection and you kill my score ranking. Maybe there is a flaw in the ranking system and nobody but the committee will say how they pick. Maybe they just draw out of a hat, ...

    This is probably a dumb question but is PHSC nationally or regionally accredited. Can they be both and what's the difference?

    Got in for transition and for some odd reason got in as an alternate for RN. If for some reason I do get offered it I'll be denying it so anyone who didn't get in can take it.

    Congrats, what was your score? Wait, I remember you from the 2014 thread. We both didn't get in transition. Did you apply with a 3.0 GPA + 73 TEAS + Residency?

    My letter went to a different address so I won't know but I'll be glad if I get in. Transition is what I wanted in the first place.
