Gloucester County College LPN-RN program

Published

This discussion is regarding Gloucester County College LPN-RN program. Today I turned in my portfolio, decision letters go out in October 2013. Looking for any advice/information regarding the program. Any other Spring 2014 hopefuls out there? Really need someone to worry with me until decision letters get in the mail. Has anyone recently graduated from the program that can share their experience?

Scored a 88% on the Hesi (on my first try), 910 on the critical thinking section, got A's in my A&P I & II courses. Do I have a good shot at getting in the program?

I don't know yet, today was the last day for everyone to hand in their portfolios. I will know by the end of the month. I'm so anxious! Did you apply?

Good luck! I am apply to the general nursing program so portfolios are due by February and we find out in March. When would your program begin? I just took the HESI for the first time and got a 90.36% over all. I have an A in AP1 and am currently taking AP2. I am curious as to my chances of getting in the program. In your portfolio did you use both your AP 1 & 2 scores or just one of them? Have you heard anything about the competitiveness of these programs?

WOW! you will definitely get in the program with that HESI score! I went to the information session and they said they have accepted all LPN-RN students that applied and met all the criteria from the past 2 years, kind of hinted that people weren't putting the portfolios together correctly and that they omitted some schools because one instructor said "we will find out if you attended any other schools than the ones you listed" so I'm crossing my fingers that all the LPN-RN students that applied get in. Wish I knew how much competition I had. We start January 2. I'm pretty sure they take the higher grade of the two science courses for us. My friend from high school is applying to the general program with you. I hope you both get in! The end of October cant get here any faster! I'm dying to know if I got in. I'll keep you posted. Did you attend the information session yet?

Wow! That's great if they let nearly everyone in. My confidence is soaring! I really am getting anxiety over this wait though! My friend didn't pass the science portion she's retaking it this December hopefully she passes!

It stinks that your friend has to take the entire HESI over and you can't just take certain portions! i can't wait to hear if you got in. I think you did! Your grades are great. Keep me posted
