Hi everyone! Just wondering if there are any other Phcc lpn applicants going crazy out there? The waiting is killing me, and I'm afraid my husband might murder me if I don't stop Freaking out lol. Between stalking the mail carrier and talking about it all the time, he is over it. Can't blame him either. So just looking to see if any others are doing the same.
I am excited! We have to have our acceptance in by next Friday. I am sure there are others like me who will drive down there on Monday and turn it in. Hopefully, there are some that got into RN... who will turn in their decline to LPN. And from what I've read on the past boards, the school will call you if you are an alternate. So, hopefully you will have a call next week.
Hey Redsox-
I called this morning and they told me that they don't tell us what "rank" we are on the alternate list, how many alternates there are, or how they are chosen. He said that I will either get picked or I wont lol
He made it sound as if there is no rhyme or reason to the selection process.
I am SO glad he never asked for my name and I never gave it to him, because he seemed pretty annoyed by my call!
He transfered me to a woman in the nursing program and she told me that we should hear something within 2 weeks and that if we don't, to call back and find out if all alternates have been notified.
Oh well! lol Nothing I didn't already know, but hopefully you have better luck going in person..
Hi Redsox and Spring Hopeful. I too am an alternate for the 2012 LPN program. Can I ask what county you applied under? I live in Hillsborough and got a 78 on the TEAS so I'm not sure where I'm at on the list. Good luck girls...and loads of prayers that everyone decided to do RN, or another program and there are lots of spots filled with us alternates. :)
Springhopeful- well it looks like I got a lil more info than you were able to get. There are 10 alternates that are notified. There is no way to find out where we are on the list. we can be notified that we are in anytime starting next week till the first week of term. She did say the chances are really good if you are one of the ten that get the letter of getting in! So fingers crossed for both of us we get notified soon! She also said it doesn't hurt to go ahead and get the immunization process started with the physical. So let's keep our heads up and fingers crossed!
CynMar- I am not sure about Redsox, but I am a Pasco resident. Wlecome to the board and good luck to you!!
Redsox- Glad you got a little more info! So they seemed to think we have a decent chance of getting in huh?
As for the physical and immunizations- I heard that PHCC uses a form that the docs need to fill out, so how does that work? Do we just get them done and if we get in, go rush and get it signed? Or can we request the forms now? Or are they not using any forms?
Also- have any info on the background check? I want to be done and prepared JUST IN CASE!! lol
I wish, hope, and pray we get in!
