Hello all! Just thought I'd start a thread for all of those folks that have submitted, or are getting ready to submit, their applications for FCCJ's Fall '08 term.
I will be submitting my application in a few weeks, when this Spring term ends. I have taken my NAT (twice), so I'm good to go there, but still need to get my CPR class done. I called several places & I'm waiting to hear back from them.
I look forward to chatting with & getting to know all of you, who will be doing the count-down with me... on getting our acceptance letters!!!
I know it helps to sound-board off each other & to lean on each other for support... especially with getting all the things done that we have to do!
Has anyone tried to get into the course documents for the health assessment? It asks for an 'access key', does anyone know where to get the access key?? I'm sure they'll tell us sometime soon but I didn't know if anybody had checked it out yet.
I had the same problem but it happened after I already downloaded the syllabus. There is an email there to contact her if there are any problems. Hope you all have a great night!! Dosen't feel like a Friday.
I've yet to buy and iClicker...I will probably get one Monday from the bookstore. I hope they have it or I will be screwed. What type of batteries does it take? How many?

Mine came with batteries already in it. Three AAA batteries included.
I am trying to organize myself and I have a question for all of you already in the program or any of you starting with me that may know.
Is Dosage Calc and IV calc taught in our Nursing Techniques class?
Is Medical Terminology taught in our Nursing Concepts class?
No, and no. You are expected to know the information before you start. Dosage should be your first exam and med term will be in the first 2 weeks. IV should be shortly thereafter. You need to make at least an 80% on all three or you will be exited from the program. You have the opportunity to take the 2 dosage calc's over if you don't make an 80 the first time.
Unless they have changed it all three grades will count toward your Techniques grade.
All of that information is subject to be changed for your term but that's how it was for us and I'm just finishing my first term.
hey guys, hope everyone made it through the storm ok, without to much damage or power interupptions... mine went on and off through the 2 days but overall not to bad! anyway I was printing out the syllabus's from blackboard and I was reading the schedule, and I had a question, do we not meet face to face every week? because on the schedule it says f2f like every other class, so i guess we dont have those classes every week! also has everyone been preparing, reading and all that? I just can't get on the ball I guess. I have read the handbook, but thats about it, I have a feeling i'll be playing catchup for the next 16 months!!
I finished my Dosage Calc last night but I need to study the other stuff. I imagine I'll figure out how to get that done soon. I printed the syllabi at work. OMG!! that was long.
This is soo scary to me now! I haven't studied anything (Med Term, D. Calc, IV Calc, etc.). Only the handbook. I don't have my iClicker. I don't have my books. I don't have my skills kit. I'm in full panic mode, not because I want to be. I don't have the $$$.
I "stalked" financial aid enough for them to put an estimated award on my record. This held my classes. Whoohooo! But as far as books, they have to do some type of verification to complete my aid so I can get a book voucher. At this point, I have some books available for LOAN until I'm able to get my own books. So, I will have books for class. I just don't have them now, and I would have loved to spend the weekend getting familiar with the courses :)

Bossladi: You may want to go see if you can get one of the books at the library. A lot of the time they have the nursing textbooks available to be checked out. They may have the dosage calc and med term books available. It may not be the newest edition but all the info is pretty much the same. Also sometimes the professors will loan you books if you have great financial need. Talk to Ms James or Ms Barrett they may be able to help you either buy the books or loan you a copy until you can get yours.
