That's realy awesome for those who have gotten in; I was denied yet again so I'm heading for an LPN program. Early on I took a C and now it has bit me in the end...I'm not giving up on my dreams--keeping my eye on the prize!! Good luck to all..I wish you all the best!!

Do it. I was denied at HCC and cried when I got my denial letter. I then applied for Ptec Lpn program and got in first try. I loved it. I was able to make some life long friends but more important I can call myself a nurse. :redpinkhe It is the best.

I also learned so much.. You get soooo much hands on learning at Ptec and I am sure other LPN programs. The RN students who we talked to were floored about the amount of hours we spent in clinicals. I really wish I could have gone about getting my Rn degree faster but I am very happy to have the experience I have. I do not think I am a better nurse because of it but I think I am less nervous about preforming some of the procedures we did weekly to daily in clinicals. I think it is a great way to going about finding your dream. Good luck. If you ever want to talk pm me.

P.S I am also a mom of 4 and I it sets such a great example to them that mom can learn and somewhat run a house.

I received my email today...as expected, I wasn't accepted as I'm still taking Micro and Stats. Congrats to everyone who have been accepted!!!
Here are the stats that were included in the email:
The applicant pool consisted of four hundred ninety nine applicants and was very competitive. The average grade point average for those selected was a 3.77 which includes an average of 29.6 of the 30 general education and support course credits from the nursing curriculum completed.

Whoo Hooo Congrats!! Best of luck on your new adventure. :yeah:

Hi all.
I got my acceptance letter yesterday. Came in my school email. I had to read it a couple of times before I realized what it was.
Good luck to everyone who is still waiting. For those who got turned down - keep trying. Don't give up! :-)

Congrats! I wish you the best of luck too! :)

Don't get down. You might get in. If any of the seats were taken by USF students or HCC then you have a good chance. Good luck to you!

Gators--so sorry, just got your PM today. I dont know how to write you back though! LOL....anyways, as my update...i got my rejection letter from SPC. Guess my 3.61 did not suffice. I haven't heard back from any other school yet. luckily, my gpa for all the other schools is a 3.77 so, hopefully that will put me over the edge! has anyone applied to PHCC's RN program for Jan??? or State College of Florida???

I applied for the January LPN to RN and I haven't gotten anything in my SPC email yet. Is anyone else who applied to LPN to RN still waiting? I applied 8/31 which I guess is a little late and I am currently enrolled in stats and micro. Maybe I am just getting impatient because I just read that a lot of you received your emails already!

pamoneal · Oct 7, 2011

selected as an alternate too! 3.64 w/all my prerequisites done. Has anyone heard when the orientation is? I got a letter yesterday saying they will send the letter through spc e-mail but I haven't received anything yet. I hope enough of the "chosen ones" decided to go elsewhere!

runninggal · Oct 13, 2011

Hi there. The orientation is Oct 19. Hope that helps :-)

pamoneal · Oct 14, 2011

Thanks runninggal! I don't know if the alternates go to the orientation or if there's a separate meeting so I'll call the school to find out and post back for all the other alternates : ) Thanks again!!
