Hey all, congrats on getting accepted to the program!!! :) I just graduated with my RN in May. I have ALL practically brand new books still ( I bought only 10 months ago at PHSC and barely used them) for the nursing program. I also have a never used ...

I just graduated from the RN transition program and I have just about everything you would need for it (lab coat, PHSC shirt for special events that I only wore once, brand new blood pressure cuff, uniforms that have ink pen stain on the pocket becau...

BTW I am in the Transition program

I PM'd you

The facebook group does not show up

I graduated from the LPN program in March 2012. I've been an LPN since December 2012. I have worked in pediatric home care with children who are on ventilators, have trachs and g-tubes. One of my scary experiences- I will never forget when I was cha...

Perfect!!! Thank you so much!!! Yes I have 9 because it is the transition program. I am assuming that lab counts.

thank you but I am confused on how to calculate my pre req GPA only lol I have taken so many classes so I'm not sure how to calculate only specific classes together.

Hmm So how do I calculate that? I have 5 As and 4 Bs. Do they calculate that as one semester?

There must have been a lot of transition students who applied this year! :/ I am sorry

I am sorry I feel your pain, you're not alone. @Risky Wow I never knew that. That is great to know. Looks like I will apply to both next year. I will be working really hard these next 10 months to improve my scores and GPA! We can do it! If we can ...

That is a great question!! Do they only look at your pre-req GPA or your overall GPA for the program?

Congrats to Rosey and able!!! Happy for you! BTW, able? Was that you that emailed me in regards of my literature book listed on craigslist? Just curious since they had the same name as you lol

Yes, you can. But you will still have the old grades on your transcipts and they will still count towards your GPA. Just like the F I have for a class I never attended with them, I actually received an A when I did actually take the class (in a diffe...

Ohh no I am so sorry. and I seen you got a 77% on your TEAs. There must have been alot of people who applied with high scores :/ I thought for sure you would get in!

Thanks so much :) you're are awesome. I will message you.

ohh that would be so great :) I am sure you won't have much extra time to help poor little ol me once you start the nursing program but any extra study materials or tips you have would be lovely! I really need to improve my TEAs score drastically. I ...

Aww thank you. and I had a few friends go through Excelsior and I do not think it is for me. It is pretty much self study and you have to pay like 300 for the tests each semester and if you fail then you have to wait 3 months to retake it (and of cou...

Transition program I will probably wait. I just can't see myself going back to private school. They will require me to retake classes I have already taken (because they want your money and will only accept so many credits). I am completely done with ...

thank you, I will really try. I am just feeling discouraged.

I got my letter....I was denied! I figured I would be but it still broke my heart to read the letter. I guess I am putting my life on hold for another 2 years!

It really upsets me when I hear people down talking LPNs. We work just as hard and in a hospital we do almost everything an RN does BUT we get paid LESS. LPN=Less Paid Nurse lol We all want to finish our RNs so we can get paid what we deserve!!!!

LOL I LOVE it!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing! :)

Yea, I am done with just about every class I need. I have Galen as a back up plan as well (If I don't wait to apply again next year). I like that they offer evening classes for working LPNs. And you're absolutely correct, a nurse is a nurse, I have m...

Wow, I think we have the same exact feelings. I mentioned earlier in this thread how I felt stuck in life and I agree, it is very depressing. I truly wish I didn't take the LPN route but I just wanted to get started with my dream job. I can not affor...
