Edison State College 2014

Published

Hello! Is anyone applying for Edison(Lee campus) for fall of next year? I plan on applying in the spring for the evening program. I'm also in the process of finishing my last pre reqs and studying for the Hesi. I know the evening program is about 5 semesters but does anyone know if its shorter when all pre reqs are completed? So far I've gotten all A's in them. Thanks in advance

I hope we get ours this week. By the way, is there anyone else other than you and I that got into Collier?

I don't think so, I believe its just you and I on this thread that have applied to collier

No, I have not received mine yet either, but I wish I did...I'm so impatient. Maybe this week we will, although I had been told they would not be sent out until after the 20th of June

I thought the same thing. I was surprised when I got the packet in the mail Saturday. It was dated June 6 and that's the day that my fingerprints cleared so I'm guessing they start on the packet when you're all cleared? I'm not sure

Congrats to those who have been accepted!!!! I just started taking my pre-reqs, its going to take me awhile to finish them and apply lee day. Does anyone know how often the college changes their requirements? I looked at requirements to some nursing school and it looks as if they change their nursing entrance requirements every year or so.

Im afraid by the time I apply the program would be harder and even more competitive. Should I start out with getting an LPN then apply?

Edisons pre reqs for the nursing program are pretty standard and in the norm in my opinion. I don't think they will be making any changes as to what classes to take before applying, a big focus on your "points" are for your hesi exam and your overall GPA from your pre-reqs. Just make sure to maintain a high grade those classes and when its time to apply focus on your hesi exam. If you have not taken any entrance nursing exam before I would recommend you purchasing the prep book they sell in their store.

Nursing school seems to only be getting harder and more competitive to get into, but I wouldn't tell you to get your LPN first and then do a transition because thats just more school, money, and time. Just focus on gettings A's and B's on the prereqs and a solid score on the hesi and you'll be fine. Good luck!

Hello there! As far as I know the only requirements are the 9 classes and the Hesi. I applied with 8 only classes and a high Hesi score and I got in. Some people on here have gotten in with 7 classes but they had a great gpa and high Hesi. Honestly the competitiveness depends on who is applying that cycle with you. Also the campus makes a difference as well. Fall cycle and Lee campus looks to be the most competitive. If I were you I would stick with Edison. If you plan on applying for the LPN program at High tech then it's way more competitive as they only accept 20 students once a year. Plus I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the hospitals aren't hiring LPN's here anymore. You will most likely end up at a nursing home. Whatever you decide good luck!

I noticed some colleges change their GPA requirements from a 2.5 to a 3.2 etc. I hope it doesn't change by the time I apply. Im not one of those people that get A's very often im more of B or C student.

That's what I thought. Did you get your CPR certification done already? I haven't done mine yet.
