Any Prairie State Hopefuls for Fall 2014

I'm not a hopeful. I graduated from Prairie State in 1978! I loved the program. What town do you live in? PM me if you want.

I am a hopefull for 2014. I am worried because I just found out that my A&P 2 and my Micro points wont count for 2014. if I get all A`s in my classes now by feb 1st I will have 109 points. I pray that is enough because I do not want to wait a whole nother year. ANY ADVICE??

I really want to know why ur A&PII & micro isn't being counted? Did you take these at a different school? Nicole from nursing admission told me the classes that we receive points toward the program are :Bio111, Micro211,A&PI,A&PII,Eng101,Eng102,Psych101,Psych102,Comm101 & 1 humanities/art elective. My advice 2 u is, if your in district get into admissions and prove it....that's 5 extra in district points added to your score, If you do well on the HESI you can receive 5 or 10 extra points....if u have 109 that could bring you to 124. Which I've been told is a "excellent chance of acceptance" score. I don't know how you could have 109 with no a&p2 or micro tho.....if you got all As in all the courses minus A&PII & MICRO that would bring you to 104....but either way I think you could def pull it off with your points!!

yeah ppl from last semester got in with as low as 105 so your 109, should be good. as for me, i will have 113 or 118, depending on how good i do on the hesi and i am pretty confident in that score.

nikki, how many points will you have and did she tell you what she wanted as proof?

NikkiC708 · Nov 4, 2013

for proof I had to bring in my IL driver's license ,a bill in my name , and my voter registration card..at the end of this semester ill have ethier 120 or 116. I got a solid A in eng 102 right now but I'm at a B for AP II but I'm shooting for that A.lol I want it.I completed the CNA course this semester too....wish u got points for that!! Hahaha

my license has my old address on it.... do you think they will have a problem with that? i am bringing in my bank statement and voter registration card with my current address on it. i should be at a 109 or 112, depending if i get an a or b in art. pushing for my a so i can have 112, then the hesi, hopefully that'll be another 5 or 10 point.

i wish that too! i am currently doing mine at night! almost done two more weeks!

NikkiC708 · Nov 13, 2013

I thought the CNA was a lot of pressure, having to make sure you get nothing less than 80 %. We lost half our class!As long as your license has an in district address....prob wont b a problem. but if so,

take ur voter card & bank statement to the DMV and grab a state ID, they`ll 4 sure take that!! GOOD LUCK to you!! hopefully we`re fellow psc nursing students soon :)
