   Pretty well, but tired and exhausted! First term seems to be taking forever to complete. It is a lot of stress, studying and work, but after a month you get in the groove of things and start to know your schedule better so it's not as bad as everyo...

3. FSCJ/FCCJ Fall 2011 Hopefuls

   melissalarey replied to busylady's topic in Florida

   Honestly with that score you would most likely get in, but when I applied Fall 2010 the cut off was 203, so since Fall's points seem to have a higher cut off I would take the NAT again. It can only help. I retook mine and got 17 points higher on it...

   You can wait until you get accepted to get CPR certified. That way you won't have to get recertified while you are in the program. The CPR certification lasts for two years. If you get it and then don't get accepted chances are you will have to ge...

   You DO NOT need a chemistry class with a lab to get into the ADN program. They say to take it with a lab because you will need it if you want to get your bachelors down the road so that way you don't take chemistry twice. I only took the chemistry ...

   I was reading through this posting and wanted to reply to some of the questions. I am currently in the N&W program first term. Yes there is a lot of reading but honestly I just use the powerpoints and notes my professors hand out and only read ...

   I applied with 207.08 and got in for Spring 2011 in n&w. :) The fall is always a higher point value it seems. For Fall 2010 it was 203.24 I think, so hopefully you should be good to go! If I were you I would feel good about those points. Just kee...

    Well I don't have health insurance so if you do then what you pay out of pocket won't be what I had to pay regarding the medical stuff. Basically everyone has to pay the $9 for the passport photo, $53 for fingerprinting services, $36 (I think) for t...

    Well I have to work too which is why I am in the N&W program. Between that and a 40 hour a week job AND being a single mom is tuff but it can be accomplished! :) No one will know what the cut offs are for points until they send out the rejection...
