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?
Good luck future Rattlers. I didn't get my BSN from FAMU but I did get my BS in Health Care Management and am now pre-nursing in Tampa. You may have to jump through some hoops but I go hard for my alma mater despite those hoops. The education (at least my program and others that I am aware of) is stellar and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
I really can't speak to the acceptance rates of the nursing program (I was a Health Care Management student) but I think you guys will be fine provided you have a 3.0. My FAMU experience was very different from the current community college (A.S.) nursing program I'm applying to. The programs didn't seem to be as competitive I would imagine because it's a bigger university with more instructor availability and is catered for the entry of African American students. I have heard that the program itself is quite challenging once you get in but I'm sure you guys will do great! Don't be easily distracted though. There are LOADS of distractions on "The Hill" so just remember your ultimate goal (RN, BSN).
