Polk State College Fall 2020 Hopefuls

[FlNurse248]

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!

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

Come to think of it - you are so right...

I think they are tentatively scheduled on campus, but we'll still need to register for a section bc we may be able to actually participate in hospital clinicals at some point in the Fall semester.

I went to Gateway Clinic on Lakeland Hills Blvd across from the Post Office.

That's awesome Breezy!! I'm so happy for all the alternates that made it!

This is going to be a different experience for sure...not easier, but different. It may even be a little more challenging because Polk has enjoyed an established reputation for many years. Let's remember our dedication to the field despite all the uncertainty swirling around when things get tough!!
