Im nervous about EAYL that is what I really want to be accepted into but I have no idea what they might be looking for. Its nerve wrecking. Jemcvay are you done with all your prerequisites? Im taking micro this summer

I just have ethics. I have a prior B.A. and a 3.6 gpa:/ but I am not a pinellas county resident:(. I was told my only shot of getting in because of my residency is Earn as you Learn. :cry: I am soooooo nervous. What about you? GPA? residency?

I do live in Pinellas and as of right now I have a 4.0 gpa. I am really hoping to do the EAYL because I have a 1 year old who has yet to go to daycare and i know its super expensive. Plus the two or three year contract means garenteed experience.

I posted a thread for 2014-2015 SPC hopefuls months ago, but I guess nobody found it. LOL. There actually seems to be 3 threads now. The more, the merrier! I am a Pinellas county resident also. 4.0 in pre-reqs and 3.908 overall. All courses done. Shadokat, I have a 4-year old. Which campus were you attending? I actually do not want to apply to EAYL because I want to go straight through to a BSN and hopefully, directly to an MSN as a certified nurse midwife. At least, those are my big dreams, but things change.

I was going to the Seminole campus but I am taking micro at gibbs this summer. Im also planning on going directly on to my bsn while working. Not sure what I want to do after that.

So I had started a thread too but hope everyone just joins one. I have 3.85 but have micro this summer. I am Pinellas county resident. I hope the pool isn't too big so I have a chance missing those 4 pts for micro.

Is any one else worried about all the things we are going to have to pay for that first semester?

Grace2015 · May 15, 2014

At least you pay as you go - like the $188 approx for background, then CPR course, etc. you could get financial aid for books and I don't think you need your kit and scrubs for a few weeks in. But it is a lot.

I am taking ethics this summer too. I am taking microbiology this fall. I am afraid to take statistics. I began taking it last semester, and had to drop it. I am on the verge of having a 3.8 as well. I am taking HIM classes in the meantime while waiting for the RN program. Its a lot of work but definitely worth it. I am so excited. I am a pinellas county resident and hoping to raise my gpa even more before I get into the program. However, I have been told that people with 3.5's have recently gotten accepted. So I think it depends on whose applying. I do know they take the pinellas county residents... All of them before any other counties, because I used to live in Pasco a few years ago, and didn't even bother to come to this school until we moved as I was told I wouldn't get in because they take all Pinellas residents first. Luckily, my boyfriend got a job and we moved to the area. Still I have three classes left : Stats, Ethics (I am taking now) and Micro in the Fall. I am going to apply right after I am done with Micro. I have been told that people have gotten in as long as they have most of everything done, a good GPA, and residency. How do you get into EAYL? Do you have to be a medical professional in order to be part of that?

Does anyone know exactly how far into the semester it is when our clinicals start once we've been accepted?
