FGC LPN 2013 Hopeful

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Has anyone else applied for the LPN program at Florida Gateway College in Lake City, FL to start in January? I am so nervous waiting to find out if I got in!!

Oh no, I hope you are able to bring your grade up. I think that you're financial aid will still be ok as long as your other classes are ok. I agree, whatever happens is supposed to happen I just wish time would pass faster lol

You're right. I just called and financial aid told me as long as I pass the others I should be okay. I'm dying waiting too! I'm kinda hoping they tell us a later date than they actually send them just so they don't have a million people calling up there. I feel like mid November is so far away!

Omg I so hope that's the case. From what I hear people flood the nursing office with phone calls around notification time. I'm glad your fa will be ok! What class are you havi g trouble with?

Yeah, I can see how people would wanna call every day because waiting is hard! It's Microeconomics that I'm just not getting. I wish I had not taken it online. I brought my accounting grade up. It's not that I was struggling in acct, I had just missed a homework & quiz since it's online too that affected my grade. Were you taking classes this semester too?

Micro economics just sounds awful. lol I know what you mean about wishing you hadn't taken it online. I've taken most of my classes online and sometimes you just learn the hard way. I did that with API, my professor was ridiculous. We had three majore tests in that class (each worth about 10% of our grade). Test 1 was chapters 1-8, test 2 were chapters 9-16 and the final was chapters 1-16...all with no study guide. I've never met anyone who could know that many chapters of tet forwards and backwards in just a few weeks. Needless to say not a single person passed those tests. My professor informed me that I had the highest test grades in the class and I made an F on all 3 tests! No I didn't take any classes this semester. I'm only about 10 classes away from an BA in liberal arts. I want to get my ASN and then my BSN and MSN, and I'd like to have FA for the BSN (because I want to apply for an out-of-state-college for their online program) so I'm just trying to do this step by step. If I don't get in anywhere this round I'm going to get a CNA license and work for a few months to boost my application scores.

It is! Our midterm & final equals 60% of our grade & if I can't pass the quizzes with an open book, my hopes aren't high for passing the class. lol. I don't know how you took Anatomy online! That is a hard class even on campus. That's smart of you to get your ASN before your bachelors though. It will take a lot of time and effort, but it will be worth every bit of it in the end!

Eesh, I hate when teachers do that. Putting so much on tests isnt really fair considering anyone can have a bad test day. I hope you make it through though! :) yeah I know it'll be a while an everything I just don't think it makes sense to waste my time and fa for a ba that doesn't really mean anything. My whole family gave my cousin grief for getting a ba in women's studies, so getting one in liberal arts wouldn't go off so well lol

True, but you have to do what you want and any higher degree is good to have. I wanted my Bachelors in Health Service Administration, but if I'm an RN, I'd rather have it in nursing incase I decide to go further with it. I called FGC yesterday to see if they had set an exact date that acceptance letters will be sent out. She said anytime during the week of the 15th is fair game. So, that's no different than they said to begin with. So less than a month left!

Having a ba in health service admin is a good degree to have, my friend was doing that too but she stopped going to school. :/ I def agree that any higher degree is good to have but I don't want to use my fa for liberal arts. I feel like time is going by sooo slow. Usually it flys by, but of course I'm usually working and going to school and taking care of my kids do just sitting around waiting is killing me lol

I stopped working too & it gets so boring! Even after we find out that we DO get into the programs, time will still drag by til January. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one that will be balancing school and kids though. Mine are turning 3 & 5 this month. How old are yours? I think I'm mostly wanting to know so I can start slowly buying stuff. I feel like I'm constantly online looking at stethoscopes and other fun stuff lol.

Lol I know what you mean I just got my titers done and thinking about getting a blood pressure cuff and stethoscope... Problem is, I don't want to spend the money and not get in lol. I've got a 5 yr old and a 16 month old :)... At least if we get in we will busy ourselves with getting ready for school, plus all the holidays lol

I was thinking the same thing.. I figured at least if I got them early I could get familiar with them since I'm pretty sure they will be our new best friends. Like you said though, I don't have the extra money to buy them & risk not getting accepted. Getting all your titers & stuff is probably a good idea. Luckily I had them done for NFCC & will have them if I don't get in. Have you heard anything about your other school yet? Even though my HESI scores were low at NFCC, I feel okay because there were only 3 days of HESI testing & there were maybe 10 people at the most on my day. I'm hoping that means not many people applied.
