   ....Your husband calls to tell you that he thinks he vomited blood and you ask him to save his next "episode" :barf01:so you can assess the color and amount! ....and he does so, without thinking that it's nasty! Sorry- this just happened to me recent...

   I am glad they still do the lottery at least for the Orientation group. Even though I pulled #116 (UGH!!!) I still managed to get a decent section. Good luck to all!!!!

3. FCCJ Orientation Tomorrow!!

   s2ndstar replied to look-4-miracles's topic in Florida

   Hi there all! I am curious how your orientation went! I am about to start 2nd term, feel free to PM me if you have questions about teachers, classes, etc. It will fly by, believe me! I am stunned 1st term is already over. Did they use the lottery f...

4. FCCJ Points

   s2ndstar replied to np_wannabe's topic in Florida

   If 99.2 is what you scored after multiplying by .64, and then you add the 120 pts, you would be at 219.2. Don't waste your time retaking the NAT. It's pretty safe to say you'll get in.

   s2ndstar replied to np_wannabe's topic in Florida

   I don't have my papers with me, but I think I only had like 104pts for my grades and then after multiplying my NAT by .64, I got another 112 pts. My grades were good, but I did have 1 C and a few B's. So you do not have to have straight A's or anythi...

6. FCCJ Points

   s2ndstar replied to np_wannabe's topic in Florida

   Well, I am not 100%, but someone on one of our threads posted that they got a letter stating that she did not get in b/c the cutoff was 176 and she had 170. She actually had more than 170 and had to get it straightened out with the school. But that's...

   I got in with 216 pts. I heard the cutoff for this term was something in the mid 170's....anyone remember? I think that cutoff was lower than the norm, which is usually in the mid 180's.

   I don't live in OP, but I am in the day program. I live in Batram Park out by Baptist South. I was thinking those of us in the day program should start a thread, too. So we can see who's out there and where.

    I know it's so frustrating! I got denial reversed by bringing in my acceptance letter and speaking to the Elaine Cornwell at Deewood campus. She gave my info to the dean, Margot something and they reversed the denial. Don't bother with the nursing co...

    I will be working as well, although I am doing day shift. I figured I'd rather work and go to school Mon- Fri and have weekends for studying. I am going to see about dropping my hours down from 40 to 32 per week if possible. Even that will be a tough...

    YES! Good question. Also - Does anyone know what PCT positions pay?

    I know...all of these start up costs have my head swimming! I am trying not to let it ruin my excitement. I am still trying to find out how much all these shots and lab work are going to total up to, but it's not like I have an option anyway. So I wi...

    As far as books go...can you get them from another source (half.com, amazon.com, etc) or do you have to buy them at orientation? Does anyone know anyone who has bought them online? If so, how was their experience?
