PTK Honor society

Published

Hey yall. Well i have been working hard in school and doing a good job of keeping my grades up as a pre-nursing student. i have been recognized for my hard work and invited to join phi theta kappa honor society. I was just wondering if anyone is familiar with this society and if it helps an individuals chances of being accepted to nursing schools.

It won't help your chances on getting in, but it is a nice honor to have on your record. I was inducted into PTK back in 1988, when I first went to college. It's still on my transcript all these years later. When the advisor was reviewing my transcripts, she said "Oh! Phi Theta Kappa...great!" I asked if that would get me points for admission. She said no, but the fact I'm in means I'm a good student and can handle the course load.

Congratulations on PTK! You've EARNED it!!! :D

Congratulations! I just joined PTK also, although I don't know if it will have an impact on acceptance to a nursing program. I think it will be helpful if/when you move on for a bachelor's degree program. The information I received with my invitation indicated that PTK can be helpful with letters of recommendation and scholarships. It's all good!

I, too, joined in hopes that I might hopefully take advantage of the scholarships in the future when I pursue a B.S.N.

Congratulations to you all!! :) I just got my pin and certificate in the mail this weekend for PTK. While I don't think it will actually help get us in, I think it's a great thing to have on our educational records. Plus, it's just an exciting reward for all the hard work we put in!

Great job all!

I joined PTK and most of the schools I applied to as a transfer student gives you scholarships just for being part of PTK. For the fee of I think it was $50 I got a transfer scholarship for the lowest one $1000 and the highest $15,000 (The 15000 scholarship's tuition was wayyy to high though) renewable every year. I think it's definately worth it and it is something that will fill a line on a nursing app
