SPC Nursing Fall 2018

Published

Hey Everyone!

Thought I would be the first person to start a SPC Nursing Fall 2018 thread. Even though we still have one semester left before applying, I thought I would start a thread to get the ball rolling and to see where everyone stands. If are applying for the program in Fall of 2018, please let us know the amount of credits you will have at the time of applying and what your cumulative and program GPA's are. As for me, I will have 30 of 30 credits completed and a cumulative GPA of 3.9, with a program GPA of 4.0.

Hey if anyone is still following this thread who did not get in, I've started a thread for Spring 2019 applicants...

Great idea!

I won't be starting until January, but I did have a recent advising session with Tammy Cappleman and she told me clinicals usually start the third week. Since my alternate number is so high (#51-and she told me the numbers are absolutely a ranking, contrary to what somebody else on here posted a couple weeks ago), IF I did magically get called to accept a seat as an alternate it would likely be at the very last minute. I asked her honestly what it's like to get all the stuff done when you're notified so close to the start date and she said it gets super stressful and requires jumping through a whole lot of hoops while simultaneously trying to start a totally new kind of schooling. She also pointed out that I would have the absolute last pick of clinical choices and if I wait til January, I'll have preference. So IF I get called, I'm going to decline and take these five months to finish up my AA classes and get comfortable with my first ever healthcare job (as a CNA), which I started two days ago. Good luck to everybody here that's starting in August-see you guys in January!

Hmmm, that is very interesting. I was the one that posted about the alternates being randomly selected. I spoke to Samantha Delint-Neely and that was the info she gave me. Either way, you seem like you have a great plan. Best wishes to you!

It's funny I was actually sitting outside Tammy's office hoping she would finish up with the student she was with and call me in...just as she was about to finish, I got called in by another lady-I didn't get her name. The answers to my first three simple questions were, "I don't know," "I'm not sure," and "Let me check." So I said, "I mean no offense, but I've been trying to get an appointment for over a week unsuccessfully and finally just came in and waited for over half an hour-is there any possibility that I could talk to someone who knows this stuff with certainty?" And I was told that Tammy is THE nursing program advisor so she would have the answers to all my questions. When I told Tammy that someone else said an advisor told them the numbers were random, she said they were misinformed. She said they start with #1 and "move up the list."

Yes, Tammy is my advisor for the HEC. They automatically assigned her to me due to me being accepted in the program.

Good to know for future questions. I also was assigned to Tammy after acceptance (but the meeting with Samantha was prior to). Thank you for clearing that up!
