Oh wow that email made my heart stop. I thought it was going to say my application status and I was almost too scared to even read it. I just don't know what I would do if it said I was denied. Eeeek! Just an email letting me know my points have been finalized. They are finally making progress though. We are almost there guys!!

Still nothing. The first two weeks I was just anxious and nervous and now I am just a little annoyed. Trying to stay positive! Does anyone have back up plans? I have heard a little bit about Bethesda but it doesn't seem like it is as good as PBSC.

It does feel good. What was the cutoff last year? I did not have a health care point so I don't know what the status is on that. Hopefully yours will post soon.

My 26.37 points posted today! No other news yet but it still feels like progress to see points are going up for people finally. It makes me feel like we must be close to the end of our wait.

Mine says pre-program application still too. Another week of torture!? Ahhhh

No changes yet for me. I haven't heard anything new, my points are still not up, and I am still super anxious!

My points are not up yet but I should have a 26.3. I think it is a good sign that there are others who have not seen their points posted. I was worried I did something wrong or they didn't receive it. I don't have a back up plan either so I am really hoping my points are good enough. Hopefully we all get some good news soon.

Thanks for sharing the date. Mine did not post yet either but I turned mine in two days before the application deadline so I am sure I will be one of the last to see mine. It is kind of scary though because I would like to at least know they have it and have evaluated.

How many points did you have JThomsen?

You do not have to have your AA to apply just the 30 or so credits that count as prereqs which you can find on the website here Palm Beach State - I would suggest making some kind of plan either with an advisor or on your own. It is a big help in making sure you don't waste any time or ending up needing only one class to get in and having to wait a whole semester to apply. I would make sure your general education courses are done first and then do the sciences (A&P, Micro, Bio, Chem) toward the end because those will be on the entrance exam and the knowledge from those classes is the foundation for nursing. Take the classes seriously and keep up with the knowledge for a better outcome on your HESI (entrance exam into nursing). Human growth & development, psychology, and nutrition are some other prereqs needed and are so interesting that you should have no problem getting involved in the class and doing well so maybe pair those or some general education classes with some of the harder ones (the sciences) to balance the schedule. There is a Critical Thinking in Nursing class that you should take before applying for an extra point on your application. It is not a stressful class and you will be happy you took it if you can squeeze it in with the other prereqs. You can also take pharmacology before actually being admitted to the program and that will take a load off your first semester of nursing school, giving you a little head start. It should be the last one you take because you need all the other classes to understand it and you probably can't take it anyway without the others already done. This class is not easy and requires a lot of time studying. I think that covers most of it. Just as a fellow student I would suggest taking teachers who make you work hard opposed to the ones that just let you show up and give you easy tests that take no effort. If you naturally force yourself to go above and beyond anyway then it doesn't matter. I had a few easy teachers where I just had to memorize a few things and I would get my A and that did not help me when it came time to remember all the information for the entrance exam or classes like pharmacology. Just something I would have done a little differently because I would tend to do whatever it took to get my A but didn't feel like I really learned the information if the teachers didn't force me to. Hope this helps!

I hope it is a good sign! My points are not up yet either. I thought they said about two weeks. I am trying to not get too anxious but the suspense is a little crazy.

Yes! It is making me a little crazy. I am not sure how long it supposed to take until we find out who has been accepted. I am a little surprised at how few forums there are for this term. Have your points been updated on the website?
