  1. Big day!

    Jasoninpa replied to tmow86's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi again! The more I've thought about it, the more I have my heart set on St. Marg for Feb admission! It's really just perfect all the way around: it is shorter in length (76 weeks!), fairly close to...

  2. Big day!

    Jasoninpa replied to tmow86's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    No, did you? I haven't even started it yet. I keep thinking there is still plenty of time, since the next class starts in Feb, right? Do you think I should get on the ball and get it done? Or do you...

  3. Applying to CCAC nursing program but haven't taken A&P

    Jasoninpa replied to thelastjanelle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was looking up the prereqs for CCAC's nursing program, and apparantly you have to either place directly into Eng 101 or you have to have completed through Eng100 with at least a "C." So, I don't...

  4. Applying to CCAC nursing program but haven't taken A&P

    Jasoninpa replied to thelastjanelle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Somehow I missed the part about you not have all of your prereqs done. How!? lol No, you cannot be admitted without having the prereqs done. Your application will be rejected out-of-hand right off of...

  5. Applying to CCAC nursing program but haven't taken A&P

    Jasoninpa replied to thelastjanelle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, they determine admissions based on your college gpa, having the prereqs (chemistry, bio and 1-credit computer elective) and your PAX scores. They assign you a score based on your numbers in gpa...

  6. Big day!

    Jasoninpa replied to tmow86's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Yeah, I've been taking the prerequisites/corequisites since January. I have a 4.0 with 18 credits completed and I'm taking 14 credits this fall. But I dropped out of college years ago, so my record is...

  7. CCAC Jan 23rd PAX resuls are in!

    Jasoninpa replied to jmj_in_swpa's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    The verbal part is mostly you either know it or you don't. It tests the reading skills you have developed over your life, so I don't really think you can study for that. I also don't think you can...

  8. Big day!

    Jasoninpa replied to tmow86's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I meant to congratulate you on your very high Reading, Verbal and Non-Verbal scores too! Those are GREAT scores. And yeah, hopefull Feb admission date. One nice thing is that St Marg's program is only...

  9. Big day!

    Jasoninpa replied to tmow86's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I think your scores are actually quite good :) Those are solid numbers all the way around. Your academic aptitude score is really good especially. I talked to someone in one of my classes today about...

  10. Big day!

    Jasoninpa replied to tmow86's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Well I got my scores today from St. Margaret along with a congratulation letter telling me that I can apply! AA:99th, Spelling 96, Reading Comprehension, 99th; Natural Science 95th; VA 98th. On second...

  11. Big day!

    Jasoninpa replied to tmow86's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Good luck to you too! Keep in touch; I will post once I get my results. I already took the Pax and I'm really pleased with my results on that....let's hope for the best on this one also. Are you...

  12. Big day!

    Jasoninpa replied to tmow86's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I was there too, sitting toward the back. So how do you think you did? Wasn't too bad, was it? I barely got the reading done on time; other than that, fairly

  13. CCAC Jan 23rd PAX resuls are in!

    Jasoninpa replied to jmj_in_swpa's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Haha, I know what you mean about being annoyed that they let late entries in to take the test. :) As far as waiting on your scores, I know how that feels. I got mine back three weeks plus a couple...

  14. CCAC Jan 23rd PAX resuls are in!

    Jasoninpa replied to jmj_in_swpa's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Wow, it really sounds like you have done your research! I take the PSB I think July 21st. And as far as your scores, seriously I'm sure they are really good. You got a 96th percentile overall;...

  15. CCAC Jan 23rd PAX resuls are in!

    Jasoninpa replied to jmj_in_swpa's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    RoseannaMartin: yeah, I don't know much about the fast-track program either. Does sound nice, though, to be able to finish up in a year and a half instead of

  16. CCAC Jan 23rd PAX resuls are in!

    Jasoninpa replied to jmj_in_swpa's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm probably applying to the Allegheny campus simply because it is the most convenient for me. I live close to that area and that is where I'm currently taking courses, so I have familiarity and...

  17. Applying to CCAC nursing program but haven't taken A&P

    Jasoninpa replied to thelastjanelle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe, per CCAC website, that the minimum gpa for eligibility for admission to CCAC Nursing program is 2.5. If you have taken more than 12 credit at CCAC, I believe they count only your gpa from...

  18. CCAC Jan 23rd PAX resuls are in!

    Jasoninpa replied to jmj_in_swpa's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I finally got my scores today from the May 22 testing, and I'm really delighted! I got a total composite of 156, composite percentile 99. Verbal 55/60- 99th; Math 39/40- 99th; Science 49/60-98th. I'm...

  19. CCAC Jan 23rd PAX resuls are in!

    Jasoninpa replied to jmj_in_swpa's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm certain that a score of 96th percentile is plenty good for CCAC's program. A score of 96th percentile is the top 4% of everyone who takes the test! Meaning, only about one in 25 who take the test...

  20. whats wrong with wanting to work for a LTC

    Jasoninpa replied to newmomspn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm completing courses now and plan to start nursing school in the Spring '11. I am a male, and I'm actually drawn to working in LTC. Obviously, since I have never been a nurse, I can only speak from...

  21. Just took the PN nclex :(

    Jasoninpa replied to supra9355's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I haven't taken the NCLEX yet; in fact I have not even started nursing school yet. But, I have read a LOT of posts of people who were CERTAIN (!)they failed the test, that they felt they knew nothing...

  22. What's your personality like?

    Jasoninpa replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    OMF Ghillbert and Commuter, you sound just like me... I'm working on classes to apply to nursing school in the spring. It's something I've thought of for a long time, and it excites me to be able to...

  23. Fall 2010 applicants for ccac

    Jasoninpa replied to rebecca6890's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Congrats on acceptance to Shadyside. I'm taking the PSB at St Margaret on July 21 and hope to apply for spring admission to CCAC, St Margaret and Shadyside. I was told by the lady at Allegheny campus...

  24. Retaking PSB PN

    Jasoninpa replied to Lilac's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Those test results, just by virtue of their being "percentiles," cannot be the norm. A percentile is what percentage of the poplulation who took the test scored at or below your scores. So, a...

  25. CCAC PAX TEST

    Jasoninpa replied to mandee306's topic in General Students

    Anyone else take the PAX test on May 22 and awaiting
