Mine didn't put an exact number either, just that I have worked 34 hours per week since my start date in Jan 2018...

That makes me feel a little bit better. Thank you for sharing. I am kind of a mess worrying about this right now ?

She also told me this round what the "min accepting points" were...she couldn't remember if it was high 78 or 80 points they let in...

When I talked to Yolanda (nursing admission lady) last semester it was 68 points...

I applied last semester and didn't get in...I improved my score and got more points this round and praaayyyinnng I make it this time..

How many points did you have this round?

So glad I found this page thank you!

With HESI scores, prerequisite gpa, previous degree, work/volunteer, and the new accuplacer reading assessment my self-calculations leave me at a 92.

The thing I am worried about most is that it was a huge hassle/upset to get my employer verification letter and that prevented me from turning in my ADN app any earlier than the deadline date (02/01/19).

I know entrance depends on points but also when you turned in your app. Hopefully, it doesn't take them 6 weeks to get back to us because they will be the longest of my life.

GOOD LUCK YOU GUYS!!

HI! I had a question. What do you mean by work/volunteer? I was told that did not have any impact on points or placement for CEP? Main nursing adviser at GCC told me this.

Hi all! Thought I would get a three going for us! Anyone else getting ready to apply? Just waiting for these last prerequisites to finish up and hit my transcript. I should have a 4.0 GPA in my prereqs and on the Hesi have 8 pts in each math and reading, as well as 10 pts for A&P. Plus health-related job experience, a previous degree and volunteer hrs. So I think my points should sit at 94. I'm going to apply for the GCU CEP but also think I will apply to NAU. How about everyone else?

Honestly, I don't know how it works for the CEP but for the RN associates program at Pima, you do get extra points for work and volunteer hours.

I thought for the CEP you just need to get accepted to Pimas program (by points) and have all your prereqs done.

This round if I calculated correctly maybe 82?

Last round I forgot to add my CNA licence so I missed two points and got a 66 instead of the 68 I thought I hadd....

So if you don’t get in do they tell you what points the accepted and what they didn’t? Or how many points they calculated for you?

Last round I was pretty upset so I waited to go talk to them... then around November I went in to schedule more HESI tests (to improve my points) and then I talked to someone about my last application and my points...

I have worked really hard just like everyone else...so to feel like I can't even get into the program...it became very discouraging..but after talking to them..it gave me the confidence to reapply..and to keep trying..

So my fingers are crossed.
