All FSCJ Spring 2013 Hopefuls

Liamsmama · Aug 23, 2012

Hi everyone!
I'll be applying next month for the Spring 2013 Nursing Program along with all of you! I'm taking the NAT next month and I'm trying my best to prepare for it ahead of time. I had a few questions about the NAT exam. Will the spelling section and vocational adjustment index count towards our overall score? Or are we just being tested on academic aptitude, reading comprehension, and information in the natural sciences for the application? Also, for the reading section I see that we only get 20 minutes to answer 40 questions! Does anyone know how many passages there are and approximately how many questions for each passage? I'm trying to time myself on practice exams so i'll be able to finish that section! The timing on most of these sections has me worried. We don't have much time to answer all those questions. Also, if anyone has the application for Spring 2013 and could email it to me that would be great!
Best of luck!
-Caitlin

Does anyone live outside of duval or Nassau counties? I live in clay county and am just wondering what my chances are of actually getting into the program. Thanks!

I had a response the next day. Unfortunately for me, all of their class times are Mon-Fri. I'm going to start searching for a class that takes place on a Saturday, or later in the evening.

Do they only accept a certain amount of people outside of duval or nassau county? I haven't heard anything about that, I just assumed they accept people with the highest amount of points.

Yes I am in Flagler county. There is a note on the application about preference to Florida residents, especially from Duval and Nassau but I do not think it will affect our admission. I know St. Johns Community College actually give student points for living within the school's county, but FSCJ does not do that. I think it's more for Georgia residents and students out of state it will be an issue.
