1. Low GPA Help!!!!

   Squirmy McCoy replied to dgoins08's topic in Florida

   My GPA was positively rotten when I started going back to school. I got in to FSCJ's program with a 2.35. Their entrance is based upon a point scale that includes the NAT exam and the prerequisite grades rather than your overal GPA.

2. Pay for new RN grad with LPN experience in Jacksonville, Florida?

   Squirmy McCoy replied to ss624's topic in Florida

   I don't know how much more you would get paid for LPN experience but starting salary at the different hospitals ranges from $19 to $25 per hour. Baptist pays the least and Shands pays the most.

3. FSCJ or UNF, with a B.A. already

   Squirmy McCoy replied to lteverly's topic in Florida

   The BSN program at FSCJ is for people who are already RNs. I'm graduating from the ADN program tomorrow. :) UNF is notoriously difficult to get into. I'd say call the advising offices of both programs for more info. There is also JU which is much mo...

   As far as I know, they don't tell us our score. You can try to calculate it yourself using the info in the welcome packet, but I know in the past, people who ask get a raised eyebrow and are told, "You got in. It doesn't matter what your score was no...

   If the lab isn't showing up on your transcript, that might be a problem in the long run. They told us at orientation that if you didn't have 4 credits worth of BSC2085 or whatever that you'd have to take another class to make up the difference before...

   At our orientation, they did mention something about the way they calculated classes taken at other schools, but I don't know how it would apply to your situation. I'd call the nursing office or send an email - the email is on the program website. :)

   Oh, gosh, its great that you got tapped. I hope you can find someone to switch with you.

   I was hoping to get both the hard copies and the ebooks to help with writing papers, but if its that crappy, I'll stick with the old fashioned books. I have a hard time learning from ebooks anyway. I'm going to get the rest of the books - except for ...

   I was super frustrated with the people who obviously hadn't done any research about the nursing program. It seemed like some people hadn't even read the application packet! It tells you right there how much to expect to pay for your books. And honest...

    I'm done with everything except getting my lab results and turning everything in - I'll probably be doing that Friday. Stat-Line was out of badge holders, so I'll buy one at orientation. My shoulders are pretty sore from the flu shot and the TDAP va...

    I stopped in the worksource office yesterday and was told that if we're already receiving financial aid, they don't have any money for us at this time. She said that this may change at anytime and they'll be at orientation next week if people want to...

    I took the class on the North campus. It wasn't the cheapest of the choices, but it was the most convenient for me.
