I'm looking into retaking my APII class at another college to obtain a higher grade to boost my GPA (as of right now a 3.36, so not the most competitive...ugh ). I originally took the course at SPC and earned a C for the lecture portion and an A fo...

Time management and organization. In my opinion, these two elements are the foundation towards success in nursing school. If I don't feel well prepared and have everything in the right place, then everything else is out of sync for me! Also, getting ...

I will be 27 this August and I'm currently in my first year of nursing school, and in all honesty I wouldn't have been able to hack it if I were a younger student. Based on my own personal experiences academically, I feel that being more mature has p...

I applied twice for my community college program. I was not accepted or wait listed either time, and I had a 3.36 GPA. While that's a decent GPA, it honestly does not cut it when you are applying for a competitive RN program. I decided to go to a pri...

@mzwhyte77 -- How did you do with your TEAS? Rasmussen only looks at your overall score, not your individual scores (math, science, etc). I believe you need an overall score of 55% or 65% to be eligible for their RN program, so even if you don't do s...

I've yet to receive an email. Is it possible that they are sending out acceptance letters first, and then alternates / rejections? I'm almost certain I'll probably be an alternate this time...I keep refreshing my Outlook email inbox waiting for it to...

@Tampabp, yes, the TEAS test is required for admittance into Rasmussen's RN program. They've recently switched from the HESI exam to the TEAS V exam. You need an overall score of 60% in order to be considered for their program. Also, because I've tak...

Hi I'm going to Rasmussen NPR campus on Wednesday for their RN information session. I have a friend who recently graduated from their RN program and had nothing but positive things to say about her experiences and is currently employed at a hospital ...

I haven't heard anything from neither one. I figured EAYL will start contacting applicants after tomorrow, October 10th, since that is their application deadline. As far as SPC goes, if you check here: SPC Health programs admissions , you will see th...

I've applied for the EAYL program as well. The application deadline is October 10th for outside applicants, so I believe that they will be contacting applicants once the deadline date has past. I know it's a multi interview process (not sure how many...

I'm going to try to go for the Earn As You Learn RN program through my college and local hospital. I faxed off my application today only to find out that student applications will not be considered until after March 21st IF there are still spots ava...

I got my letter today. I was not accepted, but I was not rejected. I am going to be "reevaluated" in mid May. The reason is because I didn't have my computer competency test completed when I submitted my application in January, but had it completed ...

This question is for SPC (St. Petersburg College) nursing students (however, anyone is welcome to help answer :) ) How long did you have to wait until you received your acceptance letter for the nursing program? I sent my application off in January ...

I got an interview on Monday for the Earn As You Learn RN program I'm so excited and nervous all at once! I filled out my application and faxed it yesterday along with my resume, and they called me about an hour ago to schedule the interview. Any...

I got a C in APII for the lecture and a C in Statistics - those are my two lowest grades. I've already asked if I could retake those courses and was told by an academic advisor that they were not allowing students to retake courses anymore, so no, I...

I'm being considered for the second pool in May. I've been crunching numbers and grades all morning, and even if I do extra credit in Microbiology I'll still have a B in the class (lab too), and my GPA will go from a 3.5 to a 3.3...What are my chanc...

Well that does make the odds a little bit better if they are only interviewing about 12 people! If they just finished up interviews last week then I'm assuming that they won't be making any selections until they've done all the background checks and ...

No not yet...I'm hoping that this will be the week!!

Congrats!!!!! Good luck

Hey Jennifer - I haven't heard anything yet! Still patiently waiting **goes back to twiddling thumbs**

Okay, I should have checked my mail before I made my last post, since I just got my letter and this is what I got: "As of March 1, 2011, our records indicate that you have not met all the requirements for admission, therefore you application is incom...

So sorry to hear that...Keep trying! I know I will be getting a rejection letter as well this week...When I talked to the academic advisor she said I wouldn't get in this fall since I'm not done with Micro, so it won't be a huge surprise when I get ...

I went on an interview for the Earn As You Learn program last Monday (so ten days ago) for Baycare and SPC. They are no longer accepting applications for the position, so I'm assuming that they are wrapping up first round interviews? I haven't hear...

Well that's reassuring news! I guess I can somewhat relax knowing that they're still completing second round interviews for another program. From what I've gathered on here by reading other posts is that when they make their final selections for wh...

Hi Jennifer! Yeah I was thinking the same as well - that we wouldn't hear anything back until mid April. It's definitely making me antsy. Every time my cell phone goes off I get all excited, and I think I've developed OCD since I check my email n...
