I am starting this program in September in Oak Brook(evenings). I am very encouraged to read this info because I have heard mixed things about the program. I took all of the HESI exams(my english and math were too old) and got 90's on all. They were sort of surprised that I did so well and told me that many students have to take it at least twice. Also, I really found that you can't study for those exams. There are only 25 questions on the A&P section and so much material you would have to study. The math and english could be studied for. DeepSeekingNursing, could you email me? I have some specific admin questions that I don't want to post here. My email is [email protected]. Thanks!!

I would be interested in hearing another student's opinion on PCCTI. I don't think it's very fair to base one's decisions on the experience of one student. IF there is one thing I have learned from this forum it's that there is at least a few people that have negative things to say about every nursing program.

I am a little discouraged also but am also aware that there are students that hate many programs. Everyone has a different opinion and what I am really curious to know is if the students are prepared for the NCLEX-PN.

Could you elaborate? How were the clinicals? Is it possible that the school is just getting adjusted to the new program or was it truly horrible? I haven't decided if I am going to go here or not but was considering it (still) for september. I have had nothing but positive interaction with the admissions people. I have only had dealings with the Oak Brook location. Most importantly, do you feel you will pass the NCLEX-PN and be able to perform as an LPN?

Hi! I am new here and wondering if anyone can explain to me the procedure for admissions at USF. I am currently taking the rest of the gen ed courses at COD and will be done in time to start in the fall. Now, here is where I am confused. I spoke to someone at USF who told me that as long as I had over a 2.0(which is just general university requirments for a transfer) that I would be admitted to the school. Next, I would need to take the "pre-nursing" courses in the Fall of 08 and then if my GPA is over a 2.75, I would be admitted to clinicals. My questions are, if I am admitted to the university( I have over a 2.0 and have already applied) does that mean I will be admitted to the "pre-nursing" courses? The paperwork they sent me says that you need over a 2.75 in the gen eds to be admitted for the pre-nursing but their website states that you just need a 2.75 to be admitted for clinicals. Also, if I have to apply now, without my gen eds being complete, what are they basing their decision on? I won't be done with the rest of the courses until August(which is the deadline) but I am applying now. I am confused about what exactly I need to be admitted as a prenursing major. I have a meeting with the nursing director this week but was wondering if any students here could explain this to me! Thanks!
