   Shiverphone, one of my friends got a call on the first day of CLASSES! Don't give up yet. If you do get declined, the letter will tell you your number on the list.

   Don't buy the $150 they say they recommend. Littman has a great lightweight stethoscope for around $50. The Cardiology one is HEAVY.

   FSNA sells former students uniform tops for $5. You can wear any white scrub bottoms ($13 at Wallymart) Do not buy forceps or the lab coat. You will never use either, I promise. You also only need one name badge even though they tell you to buy two. ...

   Shiver, that is exactly what you need. Basic BLS class but it must be American Heart Association accredited or else fscj will make you take it again. It's good for two years. But you can beat that price. There's a lady that does it in her house for $...

   If you got 225-230, I'd *guess* you're probably getting whichever section you want. Are they having Nights at North or Deerwood? One good thing about this program, they really do scour your transcripts to make sure you get the highest points value po...

   What were your scores? In my term someone in the high 190s ended up in N/W. If you have over 200s and picked nights, you stand a good chance. I will warn you though, although it's the hardest to get into, n/w gets the least respect. A lot of the facu...

   The program contact is still there but the Director of Nursing quit. Plus we have big controversy over the exit Hesi minimum score being raised 150 points this term. Not making excuses, but they are swamped. They have 6-8 weeks to mail the letters, ...

   You might want to call the nursing office and ask if they do waivers. It's not a fscj requirement per se, but it is a requirement the hospitals have when you start clinicals. You don't start clinicals in first term until week seven, so you may be out...

   Y'all know our nursing director left, right? There's an interim person right now. Could be a reason it's taking so long for you guys. Fourth termers also had the exit Hesi this week :) I'd bet you guys start finding out in the next few days! They sen...

    You think it's frustrating to wait, wait until you're in the program and they wait until the last minute to tell you anything! You can definitely do your BLS and flu shots now. Just don't do any of the other titers/shots yet. Good luck everyone!

11. I hate it :[

    HF2010 replied to vccorscc's topic in Florida

    Have you gone to a Clinical day yet? Some people who hate the classes just love clinicals, and vice versa. Can you talk to a counselor or one of your professors about it? I saw a couple of criers in my first term. It's not unheard of.

12. FSCJ/FCCJ Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    HF2010 replied to busylady's topic in Florida

    For FSCJ, the spelling and (I think) the academic aptitude sections don't count towards your score.

13. FSCJ Summer 2011 Accepted!

    HF2010 replied to Je88's topic in Florida

    Most teachers don't care if you use a previous version. The school has a contract with the book manufacturer so they do have a bit of an interest in keeping bookstore sales high.

    HF2010 replied to Je88's topic in Florida

    A few more and then I'll leave y'all to celebrate! You do not need to buy the lab coat! You'll never, ever wear it. If you get cold you can wear any white or blue sweater or jacket. Unless you are naturally messy or clumsy, you only need one uniform...

    HF2010 replied to Je88's topic in Florida

    congrats! Here's a few tips I wish someone had told me: Get your titers done asap. They may take a few days to come back. You don't *have* to get the Hep B titer if you need to save money. You can sign the declination form even if you've already had ...
