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!

Thats great! I am so confused with this process! I start in january, and I haven't been called for the FNC orientation, I feel like I'm the one trying to keep up with them. Also I tried to create a new account on my FNC portal and it says my information is invalid. I paid today the registration fee and everything so I'm assuming they haven't inputted my infer into the system yet. HELP!!! did it take long for anyone to create their account???\

HOw long after you applied and met with your advisors, did they call you and tell you orientation dates? I'm so lost!!!

[raquel6687]

Yes it is.
