PHCC Fall 2014 hopefuls!

Published

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!

Oh I hope I didn't make anyone feel bad :( I just figured its helpful to see what admissions is looking at. Now I'm worrying! Really though, I think we all have a GREAT shot and with 25 extra seats, we should all definitely be in!

My favorite class was also anatomy. The human body fascinates me. I often rub my arm and say "Thank you body." Lol my least favorite is chemistry. I just couldn't understand it. This was years ago when I was at USF so maybe I'd get it now, but doubtful!

I was just having this exact conversation with my husband the other night. I mean if you really sit and think about it all - its crazy!

No, crazy is thinking this stuff happened by evolution!! The more I learn, the more convinced and amazed I am!

Not sure who here believes in our Creator, but I'm telling you reading this stuff made me think "WoW! He thought of EVERYTHING!" Simply amazing how our bodies work.

It's so ironic that you mention this...I think that's part of the reason why I find A and P so intriguing...there are so many things that could go wrong in the human body any given moment, yet things (for the most part) continue to function without flaw. And that's not even to hit on how intricate the structures of the body are! It's just truly amazing and, for me, really confirms my belief in intelligent design.

No, no....I dont think anyone should feel bad. I think it is helpful to us and to lurkers who dont want to post.

I also think everyones stats look great :)

Chemistry - Yeah, I had a hard time wrapping my brain around it....although I didnt take a chem class, it was just whatever was covered in A&P.

Ooh I get mad when I think about human nutrition. I had an A all semester and blew my final by 2 points and it brought my final grade to an 89.4! I could punch myself!

Hey has anyone seen that new PHSC commercial on tv? I had to rewind it to pause on the lpn uniform because I think it's similar to the rn uniform. Ahhhhh can't wait!

Ouch...my nutrition class was online and both the midterm and final were open book.

I think the only difference between the two uniforms is the color of our bands around the arm.. I mean THE bands, not OUR bands ;) LPN's are green and yellow and RN's are black and yellow. Oh I so want black! COME ON BLACK!

Jupiter! I did the same thing! Lol I'm literally cracking up right now! They also have a radio ad now!!

I'm going to have to chime in and say that I FREAKING HATE CHEMISTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!! With a passion. A classmate from my speech class is a chemistry major as his premed and I somehow sweet talked him into tutoring me. He tried to help me understand the very elementary chemistry concepts for A and P and I could tell he just wanted to hit me upside the head with my book! It just doesn't click for me!

When it finally came after being back ordered for a month I about wet my pants in excitement! My husband works night shift, so he was sleeping during this time, but that didn't keep me from waking him up so I could listen to his heart and breath/bowel sounds ;-)

Yeah that was me and my lpn class in the commercial! They were there after we graduated and wanted us to say some stuff lol it was fun. I think we may actually be on the calendar for the 2014-2015 school year! The uniforms are the same except lpn wears black and green on the sleeves.
