FCCA Heads up

Nursing Students Excelsior

Published

I inquired with an advisor today and I wasn't happy. She told me the new FCCA is an 8 week online session. You just can't take it when you want, that there are sessions you have to sign up for. I was asking because I won't make the deadline and the first session is May 2nd and the next one after that is July 2nd. So plan ahead because if you finish your last class a day after a FCCA deadline. You have to wait 2 months! And you can't apply for CPNE until after FCCA so potentially if you don't plan well the program just got a a lot longer. 2 months for FCCA, 2-3 Months for a CPNE date, wow. I told the advisor this would of been nice to know ahead of time.

It does suck that we had to find out this way, we ask then they tell. Computerized FCCA has been in the works for years and just when Im almost done Bam another possible 2 month wait. I'm in crunch time now to meet the deadline uggh well time to study :)

or you could look at it as extra practice for the CPNE, alot of what is on FCCA really does correspond with CPNE...so it's 2 extra months to get through the 500+ page study guide! =)
