Anyone else planning on applying to FCCJ's nursing program for Fall '09? I figured we might as well start a "support group" thread of sorts for those of us who are. Never too early to start, right?
The place you pick up your skills kit has some inexpensive BP cuffs. You *need* to have your own. You will use it in class and you have a sheet to fill out that shows you did 50 BPs on friends, family and neighbors...plus, for OUR clinical instructor, she insists that we have our own BP cuff there and to use it instead of the automated BP machine.
Sorry if my post was not up-to-date. I bought one, used it for my 25 BP on ppl and then it now sits on a shelf. That was a waste of money to me. But if you need it more now, then buy one by all means.

Not a problem misswhitney! You know how clinicals can be when your instructor looks at a student like they have lost their mind if they don't have what the teacher expected them to have. The first week, none of us brought our BP cuffs. She looked absolutely shocked and told us we better have it with us after that!

To everyone who has not received a letter yet, i still have not either, but I went to the Nursing office at the north campus yesterday and asked them about it. Everyone should receive a letter by the end of the week (all of the letters have been mailed by now) and with concerns about confirming your spot, I was told that the FCCJ nursing office will be calling you if you have not confirmed your spot and you have been accepted to the program. i'm pretty sure they understand that the mail is not always reliable and aren't just going to hand your spot off tomorrow. So I hope this helps with the stress, even a little.
