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?

Well, we will know if we got into famu in december. Someone I know who is on the program now and was in since January did not know she was accepted until decmber 24, 2008. So I'm guessing I have to wait around that time also which sucks for the wait ;(

I got your message about the housing thing, thanks. But don't worry about you taking a long time to reply tome.But which FIU campus do u currently attend?I go to the BBC We should meet up.

i go to both campuses, UP and BBC, i am @ BBC everyday MWF 11-1:00 and TuesThur 11-12:15

Lol thats so funny i only go to BBC i go there on MWF from 2- 2 50. lol Maybe we'll work something out.

yea MW will be best though b/c i will have more time. Tell me when you want to meet so i'll stay after math class. Have you been calling the school lately?

Alright just tell me the day and time and we'll meet up.But I haven't been calling the school I was thinking about calling them just to check on them. I don't know I'll try next week

Hey, how have you been? I forgot to tell u that I called FAMU on Monday to ask questions that I already knew that wasn't going to get answered. But I tried, I guess we have to wait. They only answered one thing,I asked them " if you get accepted or rejected would we be able to tell from the envelope that we are going to receive" she said no. You know how when applying to Univeristy if you get in,you get a big envelope and if you get rejected you get a small regular envelope? she said we won't be able to tell.HMMMMM

I am about to graduate in Spring 2010! The road was long and rough, but it's almost here!! To answer your questions, I don't recall doing an interview... if you live in the area, stop by from time to time to let them know your face. You do have to write an essay using the guidelines posted on the website. You will get a background check upon being accepted into the program. The program is good, but imo more difficult than it needs to be primarily because of the dis-organization. You'll see what I mean ;) For instance, you will probably get a phone call like a week or two before the semester begins telling you that you were accepted, then you'll be told when orientation is, where you will be surprised with the expectation to come up with ~$400 for uniforms and supplies in less than a week.

Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions, I know alllllllll about the program and would be glad to help :)

I got accepted and yes it was two week b4 this weekend (I am moving this weekend). Are you still in Tallahassee? I might need some guidance from you, I am going to write you a message in your inbox with my cell number that way we could communicate faster.

Watch out for that Patho!! Contact me and I'll tell you some keys to succeeding in that class. Patho is always responsible for weeding out about 20% of the class.
