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!

they were telling me that you will have your nursing orientation once you finish all you pre-reqs. is this true?? i can never get an answer from anyone at that school.

You have to remember being able to do your prereq. Does not automatically enroll you into the nursing program and makes sense because if you get a C or an F you have to repeat or never be available to be into the real nursing program when you finish your prereq. You then have an interview and then when you get enroll; you have ur orientation. raquel6687 does not make sense to have an orientation for clinicals and the cost of everything and how the nursing program works if you have not finish your prereq. First. It is like buying a car without a driven license does not make sense don’t you thinks?

[raquel6687]

The only pre-reqs I need to do is anatomy 1, chemistry and nutrition. I assumed after that they would start my core classes because they said I for accepted into the nursing program already.

[raquel6687]

And I'm having a difficult time understanding what you wrote so thanks anyway

[raquel6687]

I might have a lot of questiOns but I feel you guys are able to answer me better than whoever I speak too. Noone in this school has told me the process or anything. They seem like they don't know, and it's kind of frustrating. I thought that being accepted into the program was taking the prereqs and then taking nursing, I was not aware they're would be a separate interview because I had my interview for nursing last month and told me I was accepted for Aug 2012. I start jan to finish the pre-reqs. Thanks for your help anyways though littlenursing!

[mylittlenursing]

now you are talking. yes you are accept it but with the conditions you have to pass ur preq. with A's or B's until then you are not going to have ur orientation when u pass everything and you are in the last year it is when you real nursing program starts.

get A's and B's and you will be fine. good luck!!!

they need nurses in this world.

[raquel6687]

You're right we do them!! Thanks for your help once again :)

I am a bit confused. Is there ASN program a LPN to RN program or can someone without nursing experience or a LPN license apply to the program? Also, if you have all your pre-reqs except ethics and college algerbra done can you still be accepted to the program?

[mylittlenursing]

ok, OMG!!!!

You can be an LPN and do the one year RN program except in the first semester you take two classes not three, but you have to do your preq. like anatomy and phy etc.

also one year for none experience people, with the prereq.

and I am not sure about ethics or algebra i think u are accept it but u have to pass with B's and A's
