All FSCJ Spring 2013 Hopefuls

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Hi everyone! I decided to start this thread in hopes of seeing if there is anyone excited about applying to the fscj RN program spring 2013. I am currently taking a microbiology class this summer. I would have applied for fall 2012 but met with some technical difficulties. I have 206 in total points w/o micro. Let's stay in touch and keep this ball rolling!

Thanks. I am going over to Critical Safety off of Atlantic. The class is on Saturday, so my hubby will be off and can watch the kiddos and it is pretty close to our house.

Hello everyone! I will also be applying for the nursing program Spring 2013! I completed my prerequisites a few years ago when I first got in college after high school. I changed my major from nursing because... well, to be honest, I kept hearing stories about how competitive all of the programs in Florida were, so was scared I wouldn't get in. Crazy right? Anyway, I was young and wanted to have the "college experience", so I ended up getting my AA, transferring to a big four-year school and getting my Bachelor's degree in another area. Now, after working in corporate America and realizing it SUCKS and that I have no passion in what I'm doing, I decided to go back to my original goal of nursing. I just wished I would've stuck with it in the first place!Anyway, my prerequisite points add up to 106. I'm taking the NAT this Saturday and have been practicing and timing myself over the last couple of weeks. The last standardized test I took was the GRE, which I did really well on, but I'm still nervous about this one. The science portion is what really has me worried, because I haven't taken a science course since 2009. YIKES. :uhoh3:Can anyone who has taken the test recently tell me if they provide you with a calculator to use on the test? Some people have told me no, and others have told me yes.
Hi DTW90 sounds like we're in the same boat,from what I've heard calculators are not allowed to used during the test.

Hmmm... well then I definitely need to keep practicing! Do we at least get scratch paper and a pencil? Anyone know?

I've been practicing by using this online tool that everyone's been using which basically uses the same sample/practice test questions from the Arco Study Guide book (which I found a Google preview for :up:).

Seems kind of weird... seeing as how even the big standardized tests (SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, etc.) let you use calculators. But I guess the nursing schools want to see how fast you think.

Quick questions for anyone who can help me:

I took Sociology at FSU before I graduated with my B.S., and I got an A-. I know FSCJ doesn't do the +/- system, so will my A- be considered to be an A? I sure hope so... otherwise my 106 will be become a 103.

Also, I know it says that MAC1105 (or higher math) is a prerequisite. Well, I've taken several higher maths... will they take the highest one automatically, or do we have to document it somewhere on our application to make sure they look at the higher math? Hope I'm making sense!

I tried emailing C J a couple of weeks ago to ask about these things, but still no response. Has anyone tried to contact her lately?

Also, can someone please send me the application? I will be forever grateful!

@Salori07,

I live on the northside on Dunn Ave.

For everyone else do we need to be CPR certified before we turn in our application?

DTW90 I took higher math levels too at FSU and did better. I was told they would take the higher grade.

saldridge, the application says you do not need to be certified to turn in the application but must be before you start the program.

Good Morning DTW90,

If you send me an email to [email protected], I'd be more than happy to send you the application. Hope you have an awesome day!

Great! Emailing you now!

Great! Emailing you now!

Soooo sorry it took me this long to get back! It's been a crazy day at work :) I just sent it to you. Let me know if it doesn't go through. For some reason your email went into my "Junk" file...

I got it! Thanks so much! :)

I had an application from way back when (when FSCJ was FCCJ), but I can't find it. Not that I could've used that one anyway.

Now I have bigger worries... I submitted my readmission form and residency affidavit today (since I haven't been an FSCJ since 2009--when I transferred), and they told me to go ahead and send my FSU transcripts in. PROBLEM IS... it may take 3-4 weeks to update my FSCJ student record/transcript with the classes I took at FSU (meaning Sociology)... which is what we have to turn in with our application. I really hope FSCJ can do it quicker than that... it would be a 12 point blow to my GPA score.
