  1. PTEC LPN AUG 2010 MORNs @CLWR

    scrapworking replied to applicant2010's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks for the updates...I'm going down a similar path, but as a backup in case I don't get in to schools A or B (like you said, chances of winning the lottery are about as good!). I have all my...

  2. SPC - Competitive Admissions

    scrapworking replied to lis4b's topic in Florida Nursing

    More clarification, having just gone through the EAYL process - a HEC advisor has to go through your credit/courses to make sure you are eligible to apply (meaning you have ALL your classes done or...

  3. Anyone else applying for fall 2010 SPC nursing program?

    scrapworking replied to haimyem's topic in Florida Nursing

    I thought I read somewhere that the summer term was only for those enrolled in the evening RN program. That may be old news though. I looked all over SPC's site for the program, but couldn't find...

  4. PHCC

    scrapworking replied to lele2be's topic in Florida Nursing

    No problem! Keeping busy here juggling all the classes, getting applications out, ready or waiting on answers. It's not looking great for SPC as they already did their first 70% cut. I applied for...

  5. Anyone else applying for fall 2010 SPC nursing program?

    scrapworking replied to haimyem's topic in Florida Nursing

    Petra - I didn't see that in my letter - the GPA reference. If I get A's in all my classes this semester, I'll still only be at a 3.61 (right now, it's the same as yours). Unbelievable that we'd not...

  6. Math Disability

    scrapworking replied to my4helpers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Math anxiety is a huge issue for me...besides "not getting it", I also get physically ill going to class, sitting in class and test taking is a nightmare. I have to have it (have tried to twice, but...

  7. Anyone else applying for fall 2010 SPC nursing program?

    scrapworking replied to haimyem's topic in Florida Nursing

    Same here Petra...the reason they stated was because I'm still finishing my pre-reqs. Hopefully, when they look at us again for the second pool (and everything's showing completed) our GPA's will be...

  8. Anyone else applying for fall 2010 SPC nursing program?

    scrapworking replied to haimyem's topic in Florida Nursing

    I applied for the EAYL also. I'm not at all leary...I'm beyond ready to get started! I'm a single parent too, but my 2 boys are older and self-sufficient. Sure, I have concerns - they are teenagers -...

  9. 2010 eayl spc

    scrapworking replied to catherineisit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Interviewing tomorrow too! Looking forward to learning more and getting that hurdle behind me. Thanks for the reassurance

  10. Florida residency requirements for community colleges

    scrapworking replied to rosebud123's topic in Florida Nursing

    No waiting lists for most schools, but it is highly competitive (think 600-700 applicants for 90 seats) based on GPA (3.6 - 3.8) and/or test scores (TEAS, etc) with county residence factored in. And...

  11. PHCC

    scrapworking replied to lele2be's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm at SPC too, but also at PHCC finishing up the pre-reqs at both schools to apply for each program's Fall 2010 session. Here's what I know: It's competitive, just like every place else. When I...

  12. Anyone else applying for fall 2010 SPC nursing program?

    scrapworking replied to haimyem's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes, statistics for me too...and Microbiology+Lab. I'm also applying elsewhere and finishing up their pre-reqs. It sure would be nice if everyone had the same set/requirements!

  13. Galen Nursing School in St. Pete/Tampa ?

    scrapworking replied to Bails's topic in General Nursing

    They're approved by the Florida Board of Nursing, but they are not an accredited school. Meaning if you wanted to continue on with your education, none of the classes you take with them will transfer...

  14. PHCC Fall 2010 applicants? You out there??

    scrapworking replied to Chris99mu's topic in Florida Nursing

    Jess...in one of the ATI threads here, there's a link to a study guide (free), or you can get one at the PHCC bookstore ($38 and change) or go online to atitesting.com and get a study guide and access...

  15. PHCC Fall 2010 applicants? You out there??

    scrapworking replied to Chris99mu's topic in Florida Nursing

    Here's my understanding based on what I've read on PHCC's website and in general about most colleges...to be 100% sure though, I highly recommend calling the college and/or making an appointment to...

  16. PHCC Fall 2010 applicants? You out there??

    scrapworking replied to Chris99mu's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes... they are...I'm con-currently at SPC and everything transfers back and forth between the 2 schools, so if I get accepted at PHCC for the RN program, graduate, get my RN license, I can then go...

  17. PHCC Fall 2010 applicants? You out there??

    scrapworking replied to Chris99mu's topic in Florida Nursing

    Guessing anything below a 3.4 - though I'm not sure what the last class sat with ?? PHCC recommends this site for calculating GPA: http://www.back2college.com/gpa.htm Good

  18. Denied Financial Aid b/c of Traumatic Event

    scrapworking replied to scrappymom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not exactly true. Yes, you do have to appeal with your school. Trying another school won't help if the OP transfers any credits from old school to new school, as she will encounter the same...

  19. Denied Financial Aid b/c of Traumatic Event

    scrapworking replied to scrappymom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely appeal. I got denied last year when I was over XX amount credit hours...because of changing my major a couple times over the years. Yeah, just when I figure out what I want to do, and am...

  20. Anyone else applying for fall 2010 SPC nursing program?

    scrapworking replied to haimyem's topic in Florida Nursing

    Doesn't appear to be, as long as you meet all their criteria! I'm planning on doing it as soon as I can after the ADN-RN program and getting my RN license. If you apply/go, let us

    scrapworking replied to haimyem's topic in Florida Nursing

    Wow...amazing the info they don't tell you! Or me at least! Thanks for letting me know...I'll add that to my calendar. Needed to go down there anyway and it didn't hurt to ask - better to be safe...

  24. St. Petersburg - Galen College of Nursing

    scrapworking replied to LFalcon's topic in Florida Nursing

    Question - If you are "weeded" out in the first semester do you get any of your money back or do you still owe them all the thousands of dollars that they charge for tuition? I know their price...

  25. Starting at PHCC ???

    scrapworking replied to TJ_Gato's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi TJ, I'm in the same classes you are (on-line) though these are my last 2 for PHCC and I'll be applying for the Fall 2010 program. Here's what I know from my experience: How competitive is...
