PHCC Fall 2014 hopefuls!

I want to meet some of you! I'm just getting ready to take my last 3 finals, have been studying for the TEAS for months now, and will be able to apply for next fall's nursing program (YAYAY!) I'd love to hear from some potential future classmates, how you are doing/ did with pre-reqs/ TEAS, and share the excitement upon acceptances!

able2012,

I only finished my first semester. But as you said, it was hard but doable. First I thought it was hard only for me since I came to USA just 2.5 years ago and started college last summer. I did not expect to get into the program immediately after I took all the pre-reqs last summer, so I did not have time to get the co-reqs done. To make it more difficult I'm working on my AA at the same time. But I managed to complete 44.5 credit hours and another 13 this summer.

Looking back, I can tell that getting into the program was the easiest part! But if you put in the hours and focus during these 4 semesters, you'll get through. I finished the lecture with B and clinicals with A. In addition to that I had also Eng. comp. I and college algebra too.

As mentioned before we had 2 drop outs after couple of weeks and I heard couple of the students did not pass. In the program you need 75 or higher to pass.

Good for you , girl! You should be so proud of yourself...thats a lot to take on and you're doing great!

How would you compare the workload during the first semester of nursing school? Lots of homework/writing? I'm wondering if there is room for an extra class or two...I know you took on 3 extra classes but you must have some wort of super powers.

Applied for the bridge 78 TEAS 3.6 GPA. Hopefully I get in!!! Good luck to all:)

Nuscha, out of pure curiosity - where did you move from?

[ScarletJones]

Good luck Rosey and Thomas!!

Today is only May 29th? We have another month to find out

I'm anxious but at the same time I really think I'm going to get in. I've had that feeling since I first started off taking my pre-reqs....people would tell me how competitive it is and how hard it is getting into the program and I just rolled with it.

[RoseyF0428]

Yes, I am worried about not getting in with a 78 of course because there are others who recieve 80s and 90s. I wish I knew now! Lol

Best of luck, Rosey!

Yup, I'll admit- I totally just went to youtube to check it out :)

AFWife - you do seem really sweet and not socially awkward at all....cute personality

Jupiter - great job on the TEAS!

Does anyone know where the clinical sites will be for students accepted at the porter wiregrass campus?

Also, does anyone know what the average salaray/hourly pay is for an RN right out of school vs. BSN?

Hi everyone!!

i just applied to the generic RN program today! Admissions told me that we should find out in mid to late June, so hopefully that's accurate.

I took the TEAS yesterday for the first time and got a 92.7% which I'm ECSTATIC about! Unfortunately, my gpa is only a 3.15. I am retaking my psychology class over the summer since I took it years ago, so if I don't get in to the Fall semester, I'll apply for spring with a much higher gpa.

Do any of you know exactly how they calculate who gets in? I've read in past threads that it is 50% TEAS, 45% GPA, and 5% in-county residence. If that's true, my score is an 86.79%. I hope that that's good enough to get in! I calculated last fall's percentages and there were some a bit lower than 86% who got in. So fingers crossed!

Somehow I missed this post - Congrats! I think you have a great chance of getting in!
