You sound just like me! I was 17 when I started at PHCC and an RN at the age of 20! I worked at Bayonet Point Hospital for almost 10 years. I am here to say that all the hospitals in that area are rough to work for but you have to find your place. I would recomend BPH over the other hospitals in the area. I live in Orlando now and the pay is better, and management seems to care a little more than BPH. I am not 100% sure but I think BPH still has the Union in place. I was there when it was voted in and thought it was going to save us but it did not. I left shortly after and I am not sure if it is any better. I will say this for sure....some of the BEST people work at that hospital! LIFELONG friends were made! I hope it all works out for you! Take care and CONGRATS!!!!
Sorry to hijack thread, but I just had a quick question.
Does PHCC only go primarily by Pre Req GPA or cumulative GPA for their RN Program? (along with NET score of course) I ask because my Cumulative GPA is only 3.2 but my Pre Req GPA will hopefully be significantly higher (I am still completing them)
I am still deciding on which local RN programs to apply for (probably all of them-ha!) but am worried my GPA is too low. I just finished my Bachelors in an unrelated field so I don't want to waste any more time applying and only getting rejected : (
Does anyone know how everything is weighted?? TIA for any help.

i think it is the pre-req gpa...apply for both lpn and rn so if you don't get into the rn you will probably get in the lpn and can do the bridge...my friend and i both applied for a january 2007 rn program at phcc i got in and she got in the lpn, i am graduating dec 2008 with adn and she is graduating in may 2009 with the adn from the bridge program..so by applying for both you increase your chances...
I actually am trying to get into the PTEC January 2009 LPN program, and am going to a seminar this week. ( I missed the PHCC 9/15 deadline) I really wanted to go straight into an RN program, but by the time I finish my prereqs, the earliest I could get accepted is Aug 2009 @ PHCC or Jan 2010 @ SPC. If I go the LPN route, I would finish in 2010, and be done with the bridge by 2011, which is the same time as if I went straight into an RN program. Plus, I hear that it is a lot easier to get in by doing the bridge, you don't have to worry about having a 3.9 GPA and living in the right county. I still have a couple pre-reqs to finish though, so I'd have to do them while in LPN school. I thought I'd be pretty bummed, but I am actually excited to apply. Thanks for the tidbit of advice!
just curious, but did you ever get into the pTEC LPN program?

Hi there everyone,
I am new to this site. I recently got in to the RN program at my college and i passed my CNA state test on monday. I was wonder what is the best hospital to workin at in New port richey and if anyone has connects so they can get me in a hospital because i went to community hospital and north bay and they just told me to go to there web site and see if there are any positions open. Should i ask to speak to the Head nurse instead of Human resources because i am already in the RN program and i just want a job at a hospital. So If any of you experience people out there can help please this is my second job and i am only 17. So if you could give me any advice on how to go on getting a job at the hospital please let me know thanks!
