Anyone applying to ACC Alvin for Fall 2024? I didn't see a post for it so thought I'd start one. I believe we find out sometime in May. I was actually in Alvin once before a few years ago but I had to withdraw because of some life stuff. I'm currentl...

Yeah, everybody will hear something around the same time. It's like a mass email send or something. Awe man, yeah let's scratch the 8-10 weeks part! 😂

From what I remember, I have a 3.35 GPA, 80 overall, 96 on the reading section. Associate's degree, healthcare license. I believe the last 3 are what got me in the last time. If it got me in one time, maybe it can happen again. Ugh we should he...

Thank you for that info! I will take that all into consideration. I remember some people were pretty upset after the first exam because they weren't expecting the "the first nurse to create xyz philosophy.” Those were easy points missed but people we...

I do have a question, though: how do you study the material or study for the classes? Last time I filled out the learning objectives, and use that as a study guide. That was basically our study guide but they didn't give an exam review, at least not ...

That's awesome someone was able to help you! I think students realized later in the first semester that it was easier/better to lean on each other to make it. For some (like myself), that realization came too late. I definitely realized what it takes...

I found the old email from last time, I found out the decision on May 19th. I'm not sure if that helps, but it's a good idea of when we could possibly hear back. Hopefully it's earlier than that though. The earlier, the better.

I think I got the points for associates degree, 96 in the reading section and healthcare license.

We will all have a seat! I'll see you all in class. I'm manifesting it, haha.

Haha, thanks! Squirtle is pretty cute. And yeah, I'm already technically in a program. All that retaking tests/classes wastes so much time; not to mention the applying and waiting/getting put on waitlists. I rather stick with the one I'm in if I can'...

Oh yeah, I forget that HBU is a private school. I'm at Galen College of Nursing. I finished all the requirements as well and would be moving onto the nursing core classes next. Last quarter I did was in Dec. I was supposed to go back this month but I...

Oh you were at a private school? When did you leave and far along did you get? Which school was it, if you don't mind me asking?

Even though a good amount of students might frequent allnurses to look for applicant info/stats, it isn't a good representation of the applicant pool so you never know I guess. It's different every semester. I can't remember if more people apply for ...

You too! I'm surprised there isn't one made already. I wonder if less people applied this year. Which could work to both of our advantage, haha. I know some people post on facebook but I haven't used that in years. Did you apply to any other schools?

Anyone applying for the HPSP program via the VA? I submitted my application Jan 12th for Summer/Fall 2024. It says it takes about 90 days to hear back. The scholarship pays your full tuition and fees throughout your program. However, you must wo...

Oh nice! I haven't seen this one before. I'll definitely look into it. Are you attending a private school as well? I was looking into the navy nurse candidate program. However after thinking about it, it wouldn't be worth it for me in the end. I...

Well hopefully you can stick it out and finish! I've actually been through a couple of programs (had to withdraw for different reasons). All within the first semester spread out over a few years. The first was a for-profit and the second was brick an...

Are you still attending Nightingale? How far along are you in the program? I decided not to attend, and instead went with another well-established school. Still private, but they've been around for awhile and have mostly great reviews other than rega...

Anyone graduate from Galen recently (RN or BSN)? Any thoughts on your experience with the program?

I would also like to know how long it takes for them to respond, if any of you could remember.

The math ones are probably good to go. However, based on how vague they are on their transfer equivalency process, they will probably make you take the rest of those you listed. I also had a nursing pharmacology course from another school, but they t...

Well, outside of the mandatory galen pathway success course, they made me take the cultural diversity course, principles of communication, college mathematics, and pharmacology. I tried to fight for the cultural diversity one, the pharmacology and th...

I would like to know as well. I submitted my application about 2 weeks ago. I heard it takes them about two weeks to a month to respond. My application is in "selection ready" status. I'm assuming you can't tell when the three committee members have ...

Hello, I probably can't help you much since I just started the program for the Winter 2023 session today. I live in Houston, but I'm doing the Austin cohort. I'll be moving to Austin very soon. The enrollment process was very smooth for me, for ...

Retest. I believe they give you 3 chances to take each section. It wouldn't hurt if it'll save you courses you might not need. I posted some quizlets above for the reading and writing sections for the accuplacer. Those are very similar and some might...
