I found one topic on this, but it wasn't very active, so I hope this one becomes a little more successful. My name is Jennifer, and I am applying for the January 2015 Nursing Program at PHSC. My home campus is Porter at Wiregrass Ranch. Are there any other 2015 hopefuls? I'd like to get to know you all! I am taking my TEAS next Tuesday and am so nervous. This will be my first time taking the TEAS. Have any of you taken it? How was it?
Any tips? I have finished all me pre-reqs and finished with a 3.6. Not too bad, wish I would have got higher! Hope I get in! Good luck to all you ladies!
thats so strange because my letter said they will meet in mid october and we will receive letters the first week of november… its hard to get a straight answer from anyone!
Yeah I got that italy letter. Jerks. I got my mail and it was a thicker envelope from phsc. I thought I got in the program. Nope. Its for a trip to italy.
The letters did state the beginning of November but as Ihaveadream92 said, some office staff have said mid October and according to past threads, we should hear in that time frame as well. Past letters stated the beginning of November and they all found out earlier.
Happy October, everyone! Hopefully this is the month that we all find out! :-)
A new fall RN student told me today that there are many ~3.0 GPA and ~67 TEAS score people currently in the program. A few years ago, that would have be unheard of. So maybe I do have a chance! This is soooo nerve-racking. Best of luck, everyone. Try not to attack you mail carrier!
Welcome quad! please let me know if you're a resident and what campus you prefer. Personally guys I wouldn't start stalking the mailbox until October 15th-november 1st.
Hello all! Just wanted to send a few things out there for you to chew on since you are all anxious anyway :)
Uniforms: Tops from Bookstore. White pants from anywhere. I actually think the ones at the store are nicer than the ones you buy elsewhere. Some don't like that they are elastic, but they look nicer in style. Not a flare at the bottom though so if you like that don't get them from the store. I got mine from Wal-Mart believe it or not! And, I don't even shop there often but another nursing student 2 semesters ahead of me gave me a heads up. Just make sure they are white.
Undergarments: Men?!? Get yourselves some white boxers to go under and save yourselves Ladies, wear nude and white hose are a great way to cover up!!
Shoes: All white, small logos or small stripe of a color is accepted. That's about it. DON'T GET MESH ANYTHING! You will be covered in so many bodily fluids. You do NOT want that in the mesh. Get all leather so you can wipe those things down.
Letters: They will not come when you expect them... Just come to terms with it! Ours came a couple weeks after the previous classes did. Also, it will NOT be a thick envelope. It's an acceptance form you return either accepting or declining your seat. Once you get that turned in they will email you your novel of paperwork that you will rush around for the next 4 weeks trying to get finished as economically as possible. Have fun with THAT!!
Campus: You don't get to pick. They give you what they give you and you take it! Sorry, but it's true!
Hope this gives you all some information to settle your nerves for 30 seconds or so. Start shopping for shoes now to save yourselves on thing you have to do. Don't reace to go get any physicals at this point. Unless you do it this way: They have their own form your doctor will have to fill out. You can't just submit a copy of office notes. Dr. has to fill out PHSC's form. (hint, you can find the form online here - Admissions and Registration Forms | Pasco-Hernando State College Look at the bottom of the page and print it out. Get that out of the way and you will be so much happier!)
Ladies, wear nude and white hose are a great way to cover up!!
