   Good luck, everyone!!!! I remember that feeling, waiting to know SOMETHING! They did give some of us the good news over the phone, so keep on calling! Have a glass of wine and try to relax meanwhile!

   jazziphat, Sorry to hear you are running into obstacles. If you still want to pursue FSU, speak to Brenda P. - she may be able to find funds for you through our Dean. This is a challenging program for anyone with young children, but hang in there ...

   People in my class who took Patho online either took it from FSU or Kenyon College (Ohio). They said that they just found Kenyon by googling online patho classes. Hope this helps! Where ever you decide to take it, I would just check with FSU CON b...

   pbteach replied to Ceeceenumber3's topic in Florida

   Hi! Patho must be completed before the program starts. Some of us took it at FSU, and some other places, some took it online. Also the HESI exam needs to be taken before the application deadline. Our classes begin @ 9 am and end at 2:30 or 4:30,...

   pbteach replied to Ceeceenumber3's topic in Florida

   Hi Jazziphat,! I think there were relatively few applicants because the program was not heavily publicized. There will probably be more next year, I would think! It was originally planned to start Fall '09, but was postponed to Spring. If I can an...

   Hi Ceekitty! Happy New Year! Can't believe we will be in classes in less than a week! I called Bill's yesterday, and they told me that the books are in, but they can't sell them quite yet . . . checking on prices? or something. I'm getting my i...

    Hi! Sorry I forgot to respond to your last post. I appreciated the textbook info update! :) A friend who is in the 2-yr. program told me that buying the nursing box was actually cheaper than when he priced them individually, so that is what I pla...

    ceekitty, Thanks for the updates! Glad orientation wasn't too bad. Did you meet anyone from our program? I'm really looking forward to meeting you, as well as the others. I have to return to the doctor on Monday to have them read the TB test, the...

    Sorry - forgot to respond about the PDA. I would wait if I were you - your Blackberry may be fine. There are several programs that we will need to download/subscribe to for clinicals. The itouch is great, but you may not need to spend more money f...

    pbteach replied to Ceeceenumber3's topic in Florida

    It is $57 here. I called the CON today and found out I don't have to go to the FSU orientation because I am a graduate and already attended one. A woman said that the CON will have their own orientation, and she will send out information in the next...

    pbteach replied to Ceeceenumber3's topic in Florida

    I registered several weeks ago, and went back to the site you sent. It wouldn't let me register for an orientation - said I had already attended one. I think I may not need to go to one because I graduated from FSU, but I'll call the nursing school...

    pbteach replied to Ceeceenumber3's topic in Florida

    Hi to you both! I'm so glad I read your last posts, because I didn't even realize an orientation date had been set? Did you receive something from FSU in the mail or email or was it something I should have seen when I registered? I'm mostly done with...
