Fall 2013 FSCJ Nursing Student Hopefuls

[skz0424]

Hey everyone! Wanted to go ahead and start a thread for our group. I've been following the spring and summer 2013 group a little and figured it might be a good idea to get focused for the fall 2013 group. I've completed all my prerequisites and took my NAT test. Got a 107 on the test and I'm sitting at a 93 will all the prerequisites. So I'm going into the application process with a 203. Does anyone know what the general cut off is? I'm a bit nervous but I'm sure everyone else is too. The only thing I haven't completed is the CPR. I read once that this can be done after acceptance into the program...is that true? Thanks everyone! Can't wait to start chatting!

Almost got everything done... i think. Going to labcorp in the morning and I think I will have all of the paperwork ready to submit. Did they check over your folder when you turned it in?

AND still waiting to hear from worksource... anyone know how long it usually takes to get the official approval? I am 2 weeks into my waiting.

No they did not.

I was also hoping that someone there could just glance over my paperwork in case something wasn't right. A little peace of mind, ya know.

The woman at the front desk said that they will call if you if need be.

I had my intake appointment yesterday and she told me it would be two weeks before I heard something. So maybe we should hear something before orientation. Sorry couldn't be much help.

I had my intake appt. today and the woman I saw said that it shouldn't take the full two weeks...I guess it depends on who you talk to.

But I found out that they do not pay for uniforms or equipment anymore!! I was looking forward to that. That's gonna hurt!

I had my intake appointment a few weeks ago and heard back that I got the scholarship within a week! They told me it could take up to two weeks but mine was 6 days! Good luck to you guys that applied for it!!

I just heard back that I was approved for worksource! Super happy... what a blessing! Now I am really ready to get started! I can't wait to be an RN!!!

You guys know how universities make sure that minority groups get a change of acceptance. Is it the same for the nursing program at FSCJ or do they only care about the points and not the person.

I am sorry, but Florida banned affirmative action use in higher learning institutions ten years ago. Minority status is not a consideration on the nursing application. The program appears to be fairly competitive, but anyone with decent grades has a chance to be accepted.

Is anyone else starting to get excited about orientation? :)

I am very excited Mike. Can't believe it is next week.

I just got a call from UNF nursing offering me a spot. So if there's a wait list at FSCJ and you're on it, prepare for a call offering you the spot I turned down at FSCJ. Good luck everyone!
