I was just wondering if there were any PHCC applicants out there just waiting for June/July, and what were your NET scores like? I guess I am trying to get a feel for what the "competition" is like? Is anybody a new student at PHCC either North or We...

Well, at one point after I got the original acceptance letter I went on WISE just to see if I could register, and if I remember correctly, WISE would not let me register because I needed prior authorization or something to that effect. And, I don't ...

Quite honestly, I haven't a clue. I think someone on here said they live in Pinellas and were chosen as an alternate (maybe for the RN program, I'm not sure)?? But, my neighbor also applied to the program and didn't get in; I was a little upset to ...

I found out we have to do the background check ourselves. I did mine and it was way too easy. $24 was way too much to pay for one sheet of paper, IMO. As far as the health check/ vaccines, I am seeing our family doctor, thank God for insurance. Bu...

Why not talk to somebody with the RN program at PHCC about sponorship with a local hospital. You may not need the education funding, but it could be a good way to get an "in". Just a suggestion. Liz

I got my orientation packet and was wondering if maybe you guys might know somthing. Re: the FDLE background... are we supposed to do it ourselves or are we suppose to pay the school to do it? I emailed someone with the nursing dept., but I haven't...

Oh, sorry, I got Gummy and AngelP mixed up as far as the childcare question went. Quick Poll: how many of us will be working and going to school, and what will you do for work? I will be just going to school, and I did previously work for a year a...

I'm sure you can buy them at the bookstore, but sometimes things are more expensive there. I thought $6 was pretty good. I'm pretty sure white scrubs are required along with all white shoes, but I'll have to talk to a friend of mine who went through...

Um, 1 school year for each sounds about right, not including the prereq.'s for the RN program, but it sounds like you already have those out of the way. But, don't hold me to that 7 months, now. That is just what she heard from someone at student se...

Gummy, just thought I might add that a friend of mine will be bridging over, and she found out the bridge program only runs 7 months! That must be severely intense, but of course, my hubby says, "No, way! The paramedic program is WAY harder, and you...

In response to Remrimsgems, you may find by looking at some of the ads in your local paper or at some of your local hospital websites that some hospitals or surgical centers will train an LPN to become a surg. tech, just like Greenie discovered in he...

It's so funny you would ask this, because I had the same thing on my mind a few months back. I really want to work in surgery, and a friend of mine was a surgical RN and loved it. He would have never left if it wasn't for his brittle diabetes, but...

It is June 30th for LPN also. It seems like such a short time to decide, but it probably wouldn't seem so short if I had the fin. aid and the $$ thing figured out. Liz

Hey, I was just wondering, for those of you who are fin. aid candidates, what does Career Central offer? Do they offer anything over and above or different from the Pell Grant, FSAG, etc.? A friend of mine used Career Central a few years ago when sh...

Oh, yes, I meant North campus; maybe the RN (I applied to PN) applications are different, but you should, if you can, apply for all applicable campuses. I caught on to that when I first applied to West and fully read the packet. I then went back an...

Well, I see there really are more locals out there! I received my acceptance letter today for the PN program; now, I just need to choose between East or West Campus which is a no brainer considering I live in NPR. I think I may be having an issue ...

As a paralegal I can tell you anyone can file a suit whether they have standing and can prove their case is another story. Being a nurse does not preclude you from being sued. Working as a nurse under the direction of a doctor is similar in a some w...

Csantos, it is so funny to look at ur pic; you look a lot like my doctor who is also from Brazil. Anyway, retook the NET today; they gave me the EXACT same exam! I was kinda stunned, to be honest. I was expecting at least different reading material,...

I think the preview is quite similar; however, it doesn't include things that you cannot really study for such as science and "personality"/learning style. I think most of the science involved biology and human biology and a little bit of chemistry....

Okay, yall, took the NET this past Friday, and.... I did exceptionally well on the math portion; score of 97. However, I did mediocre at best on the reading comp portion; score of 73. And the written expression was 85. (Do they average the 2? Testing...

I am cramming to take the NET test this week and have a few questions for some of you who have recently taken the exam yourself. So, here goes... Are the math questions word problems or do they more closely resemble the questions at testpreview.com? ...

Thank you all for your input. I think I may be fretting too much over the math and not concentrating enough on the reading portion, but I do find it odd to study for the reading section. Or, maybe awkward is a better term; it just seems like you can'...

Well, I am cramming to study for the NET and have a few questions for those recent test takers. So, here goes... Are the math questions like those at testpreview.com or are they more like word problems? Are the "reading" or comprehension questions l...
