Florida National College ASN 1 year program

[nonyrn]

Hello to all,

I'm interested in the ASN program at fnc. I would like to know the opinions from the current students and grads. I contacted the adm. office and this is what they mention to me. The program is regionally accredited (SACS). The program is a 1 year program. Classes are from M-F from 4-10. Clinicals are on weekends. The next start date is May 2011. There is a TEAS test to pass w/t min. passing rate of 75% and there is also a interview. The cost for each credit is $525, so approx it is $24,000 for the 46 credits needed to graduate. The program first started last year 2009 and the first class to take the NCLEX made 100%.

I would like to know from those in the program:

What material can I use to pass the TEAS?

How was the interview and what question do they ask?

How are the classes and clinincals?

For those who are almost done with the program or have already graduated:

Do you feel prepare for the NCLEX?

Everyone interested in the program is welcome to comment!

Hello Everybody...

I wanted to know if anyone can give me information about the student loans and/or financial aid at FNC? Can you pay the loans back after graduation or do they require you to be on a payment plan?- Thank you in advance

Hi CDub72!

They usually calculate the overall cost of your program and they give financial aid and a student loan that you dont have to pay unti you graduate, but there is a certain amount which in my case was about $2000 that is now covered in that loan and you have to pay to the school in monthly paymentS. They are pretty good in working with what you can aford. I ended up paying about 60 a month.

Hello Nursing family! I'm starting FNU in January for the nursing program. I have 4 per reqs needed to start. I'm pretty nervous about going back to school. Does anyone know a former student in this program that passes the NCLEX yet?

Hello to all, hope this thread was useful to all. I just wanted to come back and give you my status after starting thread. I am currently attending MDC generic program. It is a dream come true. My advise is to be patient and persistant in reaching your goals.

Congrats on starting nursing school! I'll be starting after a few pre reqs at FNU as well! I'm a little nervous as well, but you can do it. As for the Hubby, family & friends it's going to be tough. Your life will be NURSING until you graduate & pass the NCLEX .... But definitely use your days off & break time to do something special with the Hubby even if it's a picnic or going to the beach. Remind him he's your #1! Good luck :0)
