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!
so do you plan on working while in the program? i get 5 or 6 hours too and that's without working and just going to school, and it's killing me. you're a CHAMP!:heartbeat
Thanks;) Yeah I will most def have to still work while in school. How much working will I be able to do? Not sure, but I am prepared to cut back hours as needed.
Well, I am sure that most everyone will get in. I know I will unless there is some weird glitch, I have 206 points. I only know because the advisors I work with keep telling me that I'll have no problem. I was hoping for nights/weekends, but I'll take whatever they give me and just learn to eat ramen noodles in the Flordia heat.
Oh, and definately file the appeal at North Campus, not any other campus.
Yeah I too wanted to do nights/weekends but found out that they were not offering it this fall. It would have better for me job wise. But oh well, I just sucked it up and got a summer job to save some money for school. Oh and I love ramen noodles lol.
206 is great!!! Congrats. I have 199.something can't remember but I too am confident in getting in. It's just waiting waitin and more waiting is torture:banghead:. And you are right we are the worry-warts ha ha:D
Just curious: Why do you say to file the appeal only at north campus?
...Just curious: Why do you say to file the appeal only at north campus?
i think it's because the dean @ north campus would be reviewing your file and would understand your circumstances more than a dean at another campus that doesn't offer nursing.
dum de dum dum dum....sittin with another ten hours of citiBank knowledge under my belt but no nursing packet in sight....what to do but sit and wait, wait and then maybe wait again. Goodness this is a lil grating on my nerves...-o- well let the agony press on...what doesn't kill us will only make us stronger right? Hope everyone is enjoying their ritualistic trips to the mailbox. Can't be THAT much longer can it? :bdyhdclp: LOL idk what this means but maybe it could make us all laugh LOL
I was told that you would be almost always denied at any other campus. Oh, and put a copy of your acceptance letter with it. I had the 150% rule problem (I got my A.A. too), so I'm just waiting for that letter to get all of my other balls running.
199 is awesome!
I just can't wait to start studying again. My life without school seems so boring!

I know what you mean. Believe it or not, I'm ready to get my study on again and get going on my degree and life. I get very antsy without much to do. I work, but even at work when there's nothing to do I go a lil crazy. I guess I just enjoy being constantly busy. I do have to admit however, that when you take time and slow down a little, you can enjoy life more.
Amen to that! We are going to laugh at ourselves after we're in school. We're going to say "Remember how nervous we were waiting for that letter?" Yes, someday we'll laugh. But today is not that day...
yes, I sure hope to look back at this time and laugh. My friends have already told me that I cannot mention anything about my mail or not getting my letter tomorrow on the 4th. They say this subject is off limits.
So heres to hoping we gets some "good" news today!!!!
Oh, I guess relaxing can be fun, I just love running around and doing projects. My mom's B-day is Saturday, so I'm planning to try to do something really sweet. Our goal is to make each other cry in my family.
I get bored really easy and I like to be challenged, not the same stuff over and over.
I was thinking about specializing in Epidemiology or maybe some sort of critical care. I love studying about diseases, I could talk about them for hours to people who are sleeping. It amazes me that something so small can have such a huge impact. Critical care is important to me because when my Dad was dying, we only had two decent nurses around. One was just awesome, and I'll never forget her. The others just treated him like a sack of meat, or worse. It shouldn't matter if he was an alcoholic and drank himself that way. He deserved to be treated better and so did his family. LOL, my sister cussed out one of the nurses, but she's always been hotheaded. I sort of thought that maybe I could be good at treating people really well and being sensitive to it all for them.
I saw a few Labor and Delivery's. What does everyone else want to do?? Oh, and why?
