Polk State College Fall 2020 Hopefuls

Published

Hello ? I wanted to start a thread for those applying to the fall 2020 ADN nursing program at Polk State College. I know the application period isnt open until May, but I was wondering if anyone on here was planning to apply and what your points are? Best of luck to everyone!

Even with larger applicant pools, everyone 114ish-115ish got pulled from the waitlist.

I hope so! Does anyone know how many students get accepted into the generic and how many people are alternates?

I was accepted into generic but I'm declining. I think I was at 119ish? One of you take my spot and crush it!

Are you attending a different school? And thanks for letting us know!

Got in as an alternate.

I started Rasmussen on the 6th though. I'm wondering if I could pull out this early and just go to Polk.

No, I'm requesting a delay until January, hopefully. Covid-19 went and mucked everything up for me so I'll just wait and see.

You are not even joking. I’m waiting for COVID results as we speak. I’m hoping I have enough time to quarantine before all of this starts. (If I get in) and hopefully I don’t get extremely sick.

I can't wait to see our options for clinical days/times. I'm hoping for an evening or weekend clinical.

I wonder how they are going to do clinical’s. I didn’t realize we were allowed in hospitals.
