FAMU (spring 2010)

Published

Hi,

I am new here and I just have a couple of questions about FAMU's nursing program. I have an AA from BCC pre nursing,now I am currently attending FIU taking 2 classes. I am applying for the spring semester, I already got into the school now I amj ust getting everything together for the nursing program. So, if you applied to that school and got in please reply back to this. Here are my question

1) I know we have to set up an interview but im confused, do I need to do that before the deadline for the nursing application, or after?

2) Ihave the 3 letters of recommendation but I read somewhere on here that we need to write an essay too. I dont recall that.

3) Do we need to get a background check too?

Hmm I wonder if they have started to look at applications yet

my g.p.a. was a 3.3 when I applied so I know it's gonna be kind of hard for me...I know the program is highly competitive but I'm hoping that with my essay I can express to the committee how much I really want this and how determined I am to be successful in this program. My teachers and mentors also wrote pretty good letters of recommendations for me also so hopefully that will help as well. I ultimately want to become a pediatric nurse practioner...I love kids =)...what areas of nursing are you guys gearing towards?

hey does anyone know when the actual first day of class is...

I think you have a great chance! I ultimately want to be a nurse anesthetist. And the first day of school is August 29th for famu.

I wonder what day they actually call you if you got accepted..because the email said the decision would be made AFTER aug 12th...but I mean i wonder like if they might call you on that actual day.. I was reading some of apotters previous posts and I believe she found out on the 12th exactly..and do any of you guys work as a CNA right now..because I was thinking that would probably be a plus if you were able to put that on your application too...

thanks for the encouragement so hopeful..I really do appreciate it...I just feel like right now I need an opportunity to prove myself..becuase it's so many people depending on me to be successful you know....

Arielle I talked to the nursing adviser this morning and she said it was most likely going to be after August 12th when they began to call people with the results. You can call Dr. Mccoy and ask her any questions you have. She is very helpful. She made me feel a little less stressed after I called her this morning!

I received my acceptance today!! They called me! I'm so excited and happy they called this early

I am so jealous! lol I didn't recieve a phone call. What was your gpa? I'm shocked they made decisions this early too!

Hey I had a 3.66. I did have a strong essay which I think is what sealed the deal

Are you sure it is not just to FAMU it self because it not even Aug. so I am very shocked. how did they tell you

Wow, Congratulations! I have a 3.7. Do you think they made all their calls today? :( ugh I hope not lol. I'm going to send you a private message with how to find me on facebook so I can message you thru there.
