Phcc fall 2013

Is it true you can send in 1 application per test score? Also I heard for rn it doesn't matter what campus you apply to because they place you where they have room. Does that go the same for lpn or do I need to apply to west and north for better chances?

Ok. I am a Student at PHCC West Campus and have met the criteria for the Fall 2012, Spring 2013, and Fall 2013 for both the LPN and RN programs.

You are able to take the test a total of 3 times between January 1st and December 31st of the same year but there must be at least 30 days in between testing dates. ALL TEAS test scores are valid for 2 years from the date that they are taken. (My test scores from August 2011 are still valid thru August 2013).

YOU can pick your best TEAS score and make a copy of it to put with your application packet.

SO, if you want to apply to the RN program and the LPN program during the same application period you can submit the same test score with both application packets.

I did 2 applications 1 for LPN and 1 for RN (Total of $50.00 in application fees) and there were 2 locations for RN and 3 for LPN (due to night and weekends during fall semester for LPN at west campus). All lpn applications are in one stack and all rn applications are in another stack. When the nursing selection committee meets they rank pile of applications by residency, pre-req score (for rn and rn bridge), and teas score. Then they go from the highest ranking student down the list thru the number of seats that they have available. Those selected must return their packet within ___ days to accept their seat or they go to the next person on the list.

I got 2 rejection letters friday but got a phone call Tuesday afternoon stating a seat became available in the LPN program and I accepted it. ((They said there were way more applicants this semester than anticipated but most applied to both and got accepted into both but had to return their seat choice so the one they didn't want would become available to another student)) So there is no need to apply at both campuses. One campus and one application per program is all that you need to do if your willing to go into one program or the other.

I hope this helps.

Moved to Florida State Nursing Programs for best response.

I was told you have to apply to both campuses for LPN because one is days and one is evenings. So I applied for the RN and both LPN.
