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!

aaahh mann.. im so so sorry to hear about your scores Nurse_Jay. you can do this. i agree, you will do much better the second time if the test end up being the same as the first one. dont sweat it when you are retake it. i hope that i have a good experience when i take it for my first time because alot of things are easier said than done, especially when it comes down to me taking tests. i always get very nervous and anxious because im not really a good test tsker. however, i want to get in the nursing program very badly, so i hae to stay focus and prepare as much as i can. i think i am only going to take one class during the spring semester since that is my waiting period, that way i can have the whole semster to prepare for the exam. does anyone suggest that i take medical terminology? will it help me on the test?

im hearing that financial aid doesn't pay for all the books once you get accepted in the nursing program. what options do we have to get help paying for them? what about the skills kit and the uniform?

@Liamsmama

I spoke with you the other day about turning down a seat. Looks like (if we make it in, again!) I'll be in the n/w program as well. Childcare is just too dadgum expensive!

I did want to fill you in, night and weekend program is at the deerwood center except for Monday's when you take tests at north campus. I talked to someone today that us currently in their first term of the n/w program and they have test on Monday from 6-8, Tuesday thru Thursday is 6-9:30 and Saturday 8-1. But two of the classes are hybrid so they do not meet every week. Hope that helps!

Can't wait to start this whole waiting process over again for the 4th time!

Does anyone know what the days program schedule is like?

It really just varies. Monday's are test days for two consecutive hours but each section starts at a different time so you won't know that til you are in the program. A 'typical' schedule would be 8-12 on Tuesday, 8-4 on Wednesday and 8-1 on Thursday. But day program schedules can really vary. Also, fall 2012 was the last daytime program until spring 2014, just fyi

Hi Laceyrae, So there will be no day program spring 2013?

That is correct. They have changed it for whatever reason, but spring 2013, summer 2013, and fall 2013 are all night and weekend programs only.

Really?!? Well that just switched everything up. Guess I'm going to unf instead.

@LaceyRaeI'm so sorry that you had to decline your seat again! I never realized how hard it would be to actually do this program and be a good mom...I feel your pain! I joined the Fall group on Facebook last night under my husband's account lol so I read all of those posts, but thank you for that information. I so hope we get in again! This waiting is going to be rough!

Are you sure about this? On my green sheet that came in the package, it just said that Fall 2012 was day only and that the next n/w would be spring 2013, summer 2013, and fall 2013...it didn't say that days wouldn't be offered though. I left my packet at work, so I'll double check it tomorrow. If what you say is true then that's pretty scary lol there's only 24 seats for n/w! Yikes!

I am wondering the same thing. I emailed CJ. Hopefully I will get a response by tuesday . N/W only all year doesn't sound right.

I agree. They will lose a lot of money not offering days for a whole year :/
