   Hey guys, just wanted to give a heads up based on my experience :) As you know, I submitted my application last Wednesday. On Friday, the college called and said I needed to reapply to the school because I haven't had any classes since last summer....

   Oh, I forgot to add...if your course appeal doesn't go through, you could easily take the class online. It was the first class I took at PBSC. I took the online course with Linda Wechter Ashkin and it was really easy (as long as you can write a coupl...

   Unfortunately, you're right - you will have to take chemistry this summer in order for your grades to post for the October 1st deadline. As for doing a course appeal for DEP2004, it's worth a shot! However, I will say that is one of them that they a...

   You're welcome! Glad I could be of some help. As for the chemistry class, the lab is not required. However, it doesn't hurt to take it. Latisha mentioned last night that although it is not required, it is recommended. I think it may help cover a lab...

   Good Evening everyone! I attended the PBSC Nursing Info Session tonight one last time (I went last summer and a couple years before that) to make sure I had all the pertinent information for this application cycle. Of course, most of the information ...

   Hi there! Yes I agree, it is so helpful to hear real input from current students. Thanks to the Spring 2015 students! I would recommend making an appointment with Latisha Myrick. The info sessions are great, but Ms. Myrick will be able any questions ...

    Thank you SO MUCH for the input, cgambino70! I appreciate the real-life advice from someone who is going through it right now. I tend to get anxious and sometimes over-prepare for things (hence why I came on here today to check in and will spend the...

    Welcome, imthebriman1! I'm glad you found this group. I spent a good deal of time on the Spring 2015 board getting to know people and asking questions. Their input has been so helpful, so I am hoping we can do the same for you. Of course, as you c...

    Jcol1460 - your comment about transitioning toward a BSN got me thinking, so I decided to "degree shop" a BS in nursing in the interactive degree audit. Lo and behold, there's my statistics course transfer credits :) A bit of a relief. Hooray! It a...

    Hi all, Just checking in. It's been a very crazy month for me, so it's been a while since I've even had a moment to check the board! Jcol1460, thank you so much for the honest feedback :) It does sound like things will be quite frustrating, but at...

    FYI - I found a link that lists all the upcoming information sessions, as well as the updated co-requisites (it lists STA2023 instead of HUN1201). The info sessions are as follows: [TABLE=width: 406] [TR] [TD=width: 33%] January 21 [/TD] [TD=width:...

    sjc1984 replied to sjc1984's topic in Florida

    Thanks. I'm assuming the spring point system still lists nutrition rather than statistics? If so, then I've already seen that one. Everyone keeps saying that statistics will replace it for the point, but I have yet to see it in writing. And, quite...
