   Hey Sarah, How long was it after the deadline that you got your letter? I know they said 8 weeks --- but that seems like a long time!!!

2. FCCJ Application......

   sbc8201 replied to sbc8201's topic in Male Students

   I bought the arco version of the review..... it sort of helped me. It gives you an idea of how the questions will be formatted but you can also get examples from the fccj website for the NAT. There is a link on their page for the NAT sample questions...

3. FCCJ Application......

   sbc8201 posted a topic in Male Students

   ........submitted today. They said that i'll get word 8 weeks after June 1st. I've calculated my points total and I'm sitting at 218.84. I'm pretty confident about gettin in with that total just by what I've heard from others. My only concern is that...

4. FCCJ's acceptance

   sbc8201 replied to 12breakfree's topic in Florida

   Just going by what the advisors said - you can submit an application with as little as 120 pts ......... not much of chance of getting in, but they will consider it if all requirements are met. The 180 - 185 has been past cutoff points. It is my unde...

5. FCCJ's acceptance

   sbc8201 replied to 12breakfree's topic in Florida

   Don't give up:nono:........ how far off are you from 180? You never know what the applicant pool is gonna be so it is always worth at least submitting. The 180 pts thing is just an average on the lowest that got accepted for the previous semester. I'...

6. SJRCC VS. FCCJ Admission

   sbc8201 replied to 12breakfree's topic in Florida

   Yeah, I was lucky enough to be able to get into micro. When I tried to register at SJRCC for A&P I - the classes were full immediately. They let me take micro before A&P because I had already taken chemistry and biology when I had gotten my b...

7. SJRCC VS. FCCJ Admission

   sbc8201 replied to 12breakfree's topic in Florida

   That's the book that I used - it wasnt' all that helpful but it does give you an idea of what to expect. I'm gonna apply for the nite/wknd program for the fall - i guess that it is mainly at deerwood campus. Thats good for me cuz I live a lot closer ...

   Yo MikeinFl, I will definitely be hittin ya up for some insight. I'm gettin ready to apply for the fall Nite/weekend program as soon as I finish my A&P II. Are there many guys in your program? Have you encountered any issues being a guy (I assum...

9. SJRCC VS. FCCJ Admission

   sbc8201 replied to 12breakfree's topic in Florida

   I scored a total of 181 (71-35-75). I guess that it was a decent score - I did buy a study guide from FCCJ book store (Nursing Entrance Test Review.....I think it was called it cost about $20 and was yellow in color). I did most of the practice tests...

10. SJRCC VS. FCCJ Admission

    sbc8201 replied to 12breakfree's topic in Florida

    yup - i only get credit for a "c" for my AP classes. Even with that I will have about 212 pts. That should be enough for the nite / weekend program. It's really a shame that the university system penalizes students who strive hard in high school with...

11. SJRCC VS. FCCJ Admission

    sbc8201 replied to 12breakfree's topic in Florida

    I took a bunch of my pre-reqs at sjrcc, but I am opting to go to fccj for the program. I got a bunch of run-around from sjrcc and they weren't going to accept my highschool AP classes for credit. It saved me a bunch of time and $$$$$ for fccj accepti...

12. FCCJ Point System

    sbc8201 replied to Beforewedie's topic in Florida

    Finally found some fellow FCCJ'ers. I'm applying for the fall program. I'll have all of my pre-reqs done in may and will barely meet the june 1 deadline for applying. The way I've figured my points I should have around 200 (assuming I stay on track a...

13. Anybody volunteer?

    sbc8201 posted a topic in Male Students

    I'm starting nursing school in the fall and I have never worked in a hospital before. I've looked into some part-time positions to get a feel for it but someone suggested volunteer programs which would offer more flexibility..... I'm still working fu...

14. Male Nursing Salaries

    sbc8201 replied to cvpmvp2's topic in Male Students

    FIXED - "I'm definitely not going into nursing SOLELY for the money". Of course I expect to be compensated. I'm a nice guy - just not THAT NICE!!!!!

15. Male Nursing Salaries

    sbc8201 replied to cvpmvp2's topic in Male Students

    I'm wondering if having another degree besides RN can translate into more money. I'm definitely not going into this job for the money, but of course I am just curious as to how compensation works. I'm starting nursing school this fall, I already have...
