Hello all! Hopefully all of you out there accepted to the Fall 2009 RN program at FCCJ will join me on this thread so we can help each other out. I went today to get my pants and found some of the white ones (come in petites and tall with flared legs and slits to fit over our shoes, Cherokee brand, $13.99) at Uniform Outlet at the St Augustine outlet mall. They also carry the pocket organizers (with flat scissors and pen light included), stethoscope (inexpensive ones, so they may not be of the quality you are looking for) and all the BP cuff things we need.
I am waiting until orientation to order my polo and uniformed top so that we may be able to try them on. Does anyone know what is included in the skills kit and if they will be available at orientation?
I am getting excited and can't wait to meet everyone!
Yes! During summer orientation they passed out a lot of skills kits. So I would wait on that purchase. It has stuff you need for Techniques class.
Also, although uniforms have been passed down in the past, remember that *we* are the groups that started when the school was FCCJ. *You* are FSCJ students and you have to have the new tops with the proper patch. The name tag has the school logo, your first name and last init. Even if your name would be the same as a prior student, you can't use their tag because the school logo will be wrong.
For those applying for worksource, WAIT to purchase some of your items! Worksource will reimburse the cost of the physical and titers. (You will need a receipt.) They will give you a book voucher to get all your books. They will also reimburse you for your uniforms. :) It takes 2 months before you will see any checks, including the gas.
If I am understanding you correctly you went and had your physical done, I hope not because it has to be dated after Aug 7, not before then or they will not accept it!
Thanks Tiara,
I am aware of the dates but I go Monday to pick up the lab results and get the physical so the dates should be fine. They have all of the prices posted next to the check in window when you go for your drug test.
Yes you do have to get at least your scrub top, lap coat, and namepin from meridys...and Im only 4'11 so Im sure it will all swallow me too lol:) Don't worry we all have to wear the same thing:) And also I called the polo place and they said they will be selling them at orientation only.
My scope just arrived along with my pocket protector!!! OMG This is exciting, I put it around my neck and I feel like a Nurse already....weird huh!?! Plus I did my first BP reading with it as well.....Next up is the Orientation!!!!
I'm using my insurance as well. I have my bloodwork appt tomorrow and physical scheduled for the 11th. I bought my scrub pants today at the uniform outlet on Beach blvd, so now I just have to get the polo, lab coat and top.
Anyone know how the sizing runs on the lab coats and polos? Are the polos womens or unisex? I don't want to get something that's falling off, as it is I had to try on 4 different sizes to find the right pants today.
And...anyone have a link for what this pocket thingy looks like? I feel like I may already have one from my EMT days and don't want to have to buy something new if I don't have to.
If you go to meridys . com and put in the passcode it will show a picture. Dont forget that you need your name pin from them as well!! I just called and told her my bust size and she told me what size polo I would need! :yelclap:
