Anyone applying for the PHCC Spring 2013 RN/LPN program

Published

Just wanting to connect & be/get encouragement from other hopefuls who are applying to the program. Anyway, who's up for stalking the mailman with me?

Plus, I would imagine there are alot of people with lower gpa and scores which applied, which could take up a good chunk of the 150+ people that applied. You have been in class with them, they are sleeping during the lecture, or they have a buffet on their desk chat with the next person, and think they are going to get into a limited access program.

@JenG- your math seems spot on to me. Proficient is just to apply, yes they will be using the score to rank. I would just add they might further break down the individual teas stats. For example if statistically people who do better on the math part of the teas finish the nursing program more likely, they will tweak the computer program to give more weight in rank to a higher math score. The schools goal is to have a higher graduation rate. I heard last year half the class of 48 flunked out! ouch

@Jen-G - nice breakdown... according to your calculations my total is 89.6% so you & I are pretty close to tied :) & since my mail gets delivered so late I guess I'll be waiting to see what results you post lol not that your getting in guarantees mine or that my anxiety level will be any less :nailbiting:

Say there is 5 people at the bottom of the 48 ranking. They all tie with gpa and teas. The computer program might use the individual class scores from A&P I to re-rank those people tied. I would imagine that A&P is the most relevant pre-req for the nursing program, with nutrition and psychology being next. Or they could use the individual scores from the teas to break the tie, science seems to be the most relevant.

Not sure what the tie breaker is. I would imagine it is the indicator for passing the nclex since a lot of a schools reputation surrounds the percentage that pass from what I understand. When it comes to data, that could be anything. Lol

According to admissions letters started getting mailed out last Friday Sept 28th. Fingers and toes crossed for everyone:)

Awesome! Guess we all will stalk the mail box and post on here as we get the letters!

Good luck everyone! Everything happens for a reason.

Hope to get it and get this ball rolling already.

Does anyone know when the orientation might take place? Or when the deadline is to reply to the letters to say wether we accept or not? and how many alternates they usually pick?

So exciting!!! I only applied to RN since the LPN program didnt work with my schedule.

@rnwannabe- my mail can come anywhere between 11 and 3!!! Plus I'll be at work tomorrow so unless my husband checks the mail for me, you may find out sooner. Either way I'll be sure to be on here cyber stalking all of you from work waiting to hear the good news!

As soon as I get my letter I am going to return it to school the same day to accept :yes:

If its a denial letter I'm going to lock my self in the bathroom and self destruct :dead:

I'm wishing everyone the best of luck, you all seem like a great bunch of people.

I'm so going to be stalking the mailbox & this thread. If I get a denial letter I'll probably be laying out in my front lawn crying until my husband gets home, maybe I better wait to open it until I'm in the house... ugh I'm sooooo anxious
