This thread is for those applying to the Palm Beach State College Nursing Program for Fall 2015. Here, we can discuss program requirements, HESI prep, information session updates, and encourage each...
Hi there everyone! Sorry, I just now noticed there were some posts on here in the past few weeks. I want to make sure everyone here is aware of the Facebook group. Everyone there is so helpful!...
Hi all! I have started a Facebook group for the Fall 2015 applicants so we may reach a wider audience. You can join the group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PBSCNursingFall2015/ Also, an...
Hey guys, just wanted to give a heads up based on my experience :) As you know, I submitted my application last Wednesday. On Friday, the college called and said I needed to reapply to the school...
Oh, I forgot to add...if your course appeal doesn't go through, you could easily take the class online. It was the first class I took at PBSC. I took the online course with Linda Wechter Ashkin and it...
Unfortunately, you're right - you will have to take chemistry this summer in order for your grades to post for the October 1st deadline. As for doing a course appeal for DEP2004, it's worth a shot!...
You're welcome! Glad I could be of some help. As for the chemistry class, the lab is not required. However, it doesn't hurt to take it. Latisha mentioned last night that although it is not required,...
Good Evening everyone! I attended the PBSC Nursing Info Session tonight one last time (I went last summer and a couple years before that) to make sure I had all the pertinent information for this...
Hi there! Yes I agree, it is so helpful to hear real input from current students. Thanks to the Spring 2015 students! I would recommend making an appointment with Latisha Myrick. The info sessions are...
Good news: I checked today, and it appears that the application for Fall 2015 is now available! Palm Beach State - Application The updated point system is listed there (30 points possible, nutrition...
Thank you SO MUCH for the input, cgambino70! I appreciate the real-life advice from someone who is going through it right now. I tend to get anxious and sometimes over-prepare for things (hence why I...
Welcome, imthebriman1! I'm glad you found this group. I spent a good deal of time on the Spring 2015 board getting to know people and asking questions. Their input has been so helpful, so I am...
Jcol1460 - your comment about transitioning toward a BSN got me thinking, so I decided to "degree shop" a BS in nursing in the interactive degree audit. Lo and behold, there's my statistics course...
Hi all, Just checking in. It's been a very crazy month for me, so it's been a while since I've even had a moment to check the board! Jcol1460, thank you so much for the honest feedback :) It does...
FYI - I found a link that lists all the upcoming information sessions, as well as the updated co-requisites (it lists STA2023 instead of HUN1201). The info sessions are as follows: [TABLE=width: 406]...
Thanks. I'm assuming the spring point system still lists nutrition rather than statistics? If so, then I've already seen that one. Everyone keeps saying that statistics will replace it for the...
Hi all, just checking in to say hello and see how everyone is doing. Unforunately, I wasn't able to get into pharm for the spring. Good news though: my statistics course appeal was approved - yay!...
Anyone know if pharmacology has opened up yet for registration? I haven't checked in a few weeks, and when I looked today, nothing showed up...so I just don't know if that means it isn't open yet or...
Oh man, what a cluster!!! Thanks for the heads up. I know that will send my anxiety through the roof, for sure. Hopefully next cycle won't be as bad, but I won't hold my breath. I'll just brace for a...
I know what you mean. I got a 95.43% on the HESI. For the old point system, that would have been 10 points on the application, but now it's just 9. I don't know if it is really worth trying to take...
Thanks :) I had been contemplating taking pharm in the spring, as well. Since I took biostatistics at KU, I am hoping I can do a course re-evaluation and have that count toward my stats credit. As...
I'm sure you will have no problem getting in this time around :) As for Fall 2015, I figured I should just start a thread for us, since our application cycle is the next on the horizon:...
