Thank you for your reply, but I thnk you misunderstood the question. Sheridan works at a first come first serve basis. You must do requirements such as Tabe, Teas, Background check, drug test and physical. Whomever finishes these all up first gets a seat in the program. So basically what I asked was while in remediation for the Math portion of the Tabe can I still get a counselor to give me the paper work for the physical and drug test etc etc. Just to get my folder full with the requirements. That way at the end of my remediation I'll already have everything done and I wouldnt fall behind the other applicants. I know you cannot take core without these things. Core means you are already in the program.

Hi everyone!! I'll try to make this quick. So I need some advice, I began the process of orientation and testing with Sheridan Tech for their Lpn program. I passed the reading and language portions of the TABE with flying colors, now the math had me tested on a D level test and as you know sheridan requires an A level test. Since I scored an 11.0 on the D level which is the lpn program minimum they allowed me to retest on an A level. I just retested and scored 1.5 points under the requirement . I've been through so much stress trying to get in!!! Their telling me I have to take remediation courses, now this doesnt sound too bad because its at your own pace you can take 2 weeks or 2 months to finish its all on the student. Now, I'm afraid I'm going to get behind all the other applicants, can I continue to do the other requirements while I wait to test out of remediation. The program starts in August. I think I have time... Has this happen to anyone????? Advice please!! I wantr to get things going with the other requirements. Thank you sooooo much for reading!!!

First off I like to say hello. You sound like your motivated and with that you can achieve anything in your path. I think 90% to 100% of nursing students reach a road block on some point in their path to becoming an RN, from deciding what school to apply to, rejection letters, frustration and even depression. Let me tell you what I've decided to do and maybe that will help. I pretty much finished all of my pre-reqs for the Mdc and Bc program, my gpa came up shorter than was expected, I met with counselors at each school and asked them to honestly lay it out for me. They each told me the lowest gpa accepted to both of their last nursing program which was about a 3.6! I was shocked I mean I knew the programs were competitive but I always thought I had a shot, now sitting there with my 3.2 looking very insignificant at this point, I had to make a deision. Either waste away another year taking elective courses solely for the purpose of raising my gpa and hope to get in next time I apply or go on to an lpn program. After much thought, I've decided to study for my T.A.B.E exam and go to my school of interest Lpn orientation on Monday. Financially I will take out a small loan and try my best to have that stretch out for the next 12 months of the program. With the program hours, working seems like an impossibility at this point. But I;m happy with my choice. Now I hope I get into the June program!!!! Hope this helped. ***Remember that many hopsitals will not only give you a sign on bonus as an R.N. but they will also pay up to a certain amount of your loans. I know some small hospitals that were paying 25,000 dollars in loans. (they will only pay for loans used directly for your school program not private loans) ****

Thank you so much for your reply, I have been looking website by website trying to figure out which school best suits me. I know bcc is my second option but Ive always been a fan of nova and after leaving highschool my gpa just wasnt where it should of been for nova. So i'd really enjoy going to nova. Now quick question and i hope i dont sound dumb, do you need your AA in pre-nursing to join nova's nursing program? i mean it is a university.

Hey! Well i've been around this forum usually just looking I've never actually posted so let me introduce myself before I continue. My name is Vanessa, and I'm a student at miami-dade college. Now on to my questions , I'm pretty much wrapping up my pre-reqs, all im missing is chem. my last anatomy and a remedial math, I do intend to apply to the mdc nursing generic program in 09, now like plenty of you were and are I'm petrified I'm trying to raise my gpa and after calculating it seems i'll finish with a 3.2, I know people with 3.7 who have been rejected! It scares me. So my question is I know I can also apply to bcc but i also want to apply to other schools, now the program I'm doing is not th AA program so which schools can I apply to without my AA. I have the following done: ENC 1101 MCB 2010 SPC 1026 DEP 2000 PHI 2604 CLP 1006 CGS 1060 BSC 2085 bsc 2085L Thanks for reading, Vanessa :heartbeat
