Hi everyone, I'm an LPN going for the transition at Palm Beach State College. I haven't had any luck finding stories about transition students at this school. If there is anyone out there who did the transition can you please tell me about your experience from testing to getting the acceptance letter?
About me: I've been working as an LPN for a year, I took the Hesi math and NACE1 and passed. The nursing program specialist added me to semester 2 Full-Time for fall 2017.
**I just want to know the process you went through before getting accepted in the program.
I'm excited and nervous at the same time because I'm so close to finding out whether or not I made it into semester 2. The first day of class is May 16, the class meets on Tuesdays from 4pm-7pm everything else is online. There's 36 students registered for the class. Most likely we'll be doing skills check-offs on Tuesdays.
How long have you been waiting to get in and are you going to work while you are in the program? I don't think it would make sense for them to make you take the class and then not accept you.
According to Ms. Boles the LW full time is based on space available from the Spring 2017 semester 1 class. She has to wait and see how many students from semester 1 will not make it to semester 2 then fill in the empty seats with transition students.
There's also an accelerated track, 30 transitions students will have a guaranteed seat. It's completely online and except for clinicals which are every Saturday. I would love to do the accelerated track but I'm unavailable on Saturdays.
I plan on working while in school, I'll adjust my schedule at my job in order to give myself time to study.
I think the generic might be a better option because the accelerated is online. You don't have easy access to an instructor to clarify things with, not only that but you're pretty much on your own. Often times online classes are often not well directed especially with nursing school. Pbsc nursing program also has really vague reviews so I wouldn't take the chance. I do have some reservations with their program but compared to most other schools they are one of the best.
