PBSC 2013

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Hi everyone, this is a thread for the January 2013 PBSC students. I know October is right around the corner, so I am a little frazzled right now. I am preparing for the HESI and have purchased the HESI study guide. Haven't made it to the mandatory information session as yet though. Also I was wondering if the Pro-Calc is a required test for new students as well. I didn't see anything online on testing dates etc for that. Is it similar to the HESI?

I took the Hesi a while ago, so unfortunately I don't remember any of the questions. I would follow Krystalanne's advice. Chemistry wasn't my weakest subject so I didn't study it as much.

I wouldn't recommend selling your Taber's. I used it a lot in second semester too.

Hello all future applicants,

I was just accepted into the LW Full Time for Spring 2013 with a 25.33. However, I first applied for this current semester (Fall 2011) with the same score and did not get in because the cut off was 25.97. My advice to you would be, do as best as you can on the HESI exam, because that alone can give you 10 points. The fall semester cut-off is usually higher than Spring, if you're aiming for Fall I would suggest you try to have at least 26 points, 26.5 to be save. If you're aiming for the Spring, it can be lower (at least for FT).

If you have any more questions, I'll be more than happy to help you as best I can. I have some down time before the semester begins in January, but once January hits I seriously doubt I'll have time to post. Best of luck to all of you! If you don't make it in the first time, do not give up because I got in my second time around!

Hi Everyone! Does anyone know what's going on with the Pro-Calc exam at PBSC? Is it still required towards applying for Nursing Program at PBSC? The deadline is Oct. 1 and, No Pro-Calc exam available. I tried contacting advising office, yet no replies.

I am worried about the Pro calc also! My application is ready to go, except for that...
