Anyone going to PHCC (Pasco-Hernando Community College) for pre-req's or NS?

When I was contemplating about withdrawing from nutrition, my advisor told me I would be better off withdrawing if I was sure that I wouldn't get an A in the class, mainly because of my B in psych. She said that I need all A's and maybe one B and a Teas score in the 90's to guarantee acceptance. I didn't ask her to elaborate because I was upset about my nutrition teacher. What she said made sense because it is so competitive.

Anyway, when you think about it no one knows for sure. This is the first semester using the TEAS and it all depends on the applicant pool. You're right, I should have asked her the general GPA, but all A's and maybe one B gave me the impression that it's around a 3.8. What did the advisor you spoke with say the general GPA is?

She said that the past couple semesters had high 3.0's and above like 3.6 - 4.0. Pretty harsh! I'm glad you told me about the TEAS being in the 90's. I am studying both the McGraw and the TEAS book from the bookstore. I take it next Friday!

That is an awesome composite score!! You should be proud of yourself. Now that you have a feel for the science part, just take it again to raise your score. You have plenty of time :) Be prepared to start NS in August. You Rock!

No, I took the NET and got a 92 composite score. I was going to apply to the LPN program, but later decided to finish my pre-req's and go straight RN.

Thank you dkerr :) I will be taking it again after some brushing up on certain subjects... I'm glad I took it early enough to be able to take it again... and again if necessary! I really want to get in the 90's. I will be satisfied then. Since you only took the NET and they changed it over, does that mean you have to take the TEAS? You did awesome on the NET!

Yes, I have to take the TEAS and I am not looking forward to it. I took the NET twice. First time I got a 77, so I took it again. It was the most stressful test I have ever taken in my life lol. Needless to say, I am not looking forward to taking the TEAS. The science part is freaking me out. Science was on the net, but they only looked at the reading and math. I did well on the science, but it was simple not all over the place, no rocks or clouds lol...

How did you feel about the TEAS and was the McGraw Hill study guide helpful? They say the TEAS is a lot harder than the NET ugh... and the NET was only $25.00... it's just not fair :confused:

I haven't taken the NET so I can't really attest to whether or not the TEAS is more or less difficult. I have been doing very well in school and this test kind of blindsided me in some areas, haha. The science was kind of intense, but if you look under the TEAS sticky thread it really hits the content on the head. The reading and English sections weren't like in the ATI book, but I would still say that it is a good study guide. I think that you will be fine since you scored so high on the NET, though! I am worried I won't score higher my next time around because it is so random on the science portion and I'm just not the best when it comes to math... :)

Hello everyone,

Do any of you know the hours of the PHCC RN program? Do they have an evening program? If so, what time do classes start and end and what days of the week are they?

Thanks for any feedback.

Okay.. I have a question for everyone applying to the RN programs...I have also heard that you need to score in the 90's on the TEAS to get in? Let's break this down...I got a composite score of 88.2, which is the 97th percentile. This means I scored in the top 3% in the nation. If 90s are required, that would mean your score would be in the 99th percentile, which is the top 1% in the nation. You mean to tell me that Pasco Hernando Community College only accepts the top 1% in the nation in their RN program? Does anyone else think this 90's score to get accepted is being overdramatized a bit? :confused:

SLA, in reply to whether or not they have an evening program...I'm not sure about their LPN program, but I know they do not have an evening RN program.
