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 I am starting to freak out about having no life for 4 semesters. I need to get outside as much as possible for the next two weeks before I am stuck inside studying. I have planned a trip to the Jax Beach pier for fishing, a reggae sunday at the couch house, a suns game, a night at urban golf, and a river cruise in st. Augustine. I hope after all those days I will be refreshed for classes to start. I was so excited and suddenly I am just extremly nervous for it all to start.
okay so I cant seem to find the videos in the nursing tutor program for the calc thing...can someone help me find the actual video, I can find the power points for the videos but not the videos!!! help!
:wink2: Hey guys! I have been following these threads since June, and I am happy to share the great news that I was called by the D.O.N. asking me if I am still interested in the fall program! OF COURSE!!!!
Sh esaid she had 2 seats available--and I chose the group that will be going to the Memorial Hospital for their first clinical. She was talking so fast and going over all these schedules--and I was in a state of shock because I was one of those that was just a few points away from the cut-off. I wasn't expecting to be called..and I am still in shock. There's a lot of decisions that I have to make --if I need to resign from my job...etc.
I have to pick up my packet on Monday, and I will try to get my titers and everything done the same day...
I live off of Kernan and would appreciate it if I can join the "bandwagon" also:wink2:..I know that we are going to need each others' support during the course of this program.
Here's my contact # 904-434-0648
:yeah::yeah:CONGRATULATIONS I know it is all very very overwhelming at first...I got the call a week after everyone had their letters out. If you have someone in your life that can sit down and help you set yourself on a timeline for completing everything. My moma was a really BIG help, she made phone calls for me while I worked ten hour days...and we kinda had a regroup every other day. JUST BREATHE and you'll get it all done...just another way they're preparing us for the real world of nursing!!!:yeah:
Hope you all had a good weekend...After orientation II does everyone wanna find time to get together with these two tests that are comn up? Thought it might be a good idea
sooo yeah i just joined this thing tonight because all of you were talking about it at orientation and i felt like a dummy. man am i overwhelmed! out of no where, my gma gets taken to the er on saturday, she has now been diagnosed with leukemia, and is still at opmc until further notice. been at the hospital all day for the past two days and will probably be there a lot more. tonight they were trying to give her some blood (shes anemic) her wbc was 417, so they are also trying to do some kind of dialysis treatment on her blood(i forget the real term) to try to clean it out a little so they can narrow down what type of leukemia....trying to deal with all of this school stuff on top of my gma and trying to console my mom-who is an emotional wreck right now, while holding in my feelings is not working for me. this week is also four years since my dad died, and although im always thinking about him, this time of year is much harder, and now spending it in the hospital worried about her is not helping me be optimistic. i want to be excited about school but now i have to worry about all of this and trying to find a way to pay for books instead of applying to work source like i was going to to see if i could be approved. it will just take too long and i need to go ahead and get my books to start on my independent studies- not to mention i dont really have the time right now. usually i am a pretty optimistic person, but this week is making me feel like i have the world on my shoulders, and i know they always say no matter how bad you think you have it, someone else always has it worse, which i agree with, but right now, i feel like its pretty bad. i think im gonna go have a talk with the man upstairs and see whats up.
i didnt mean to write a novel here....thanks to whoever is reading my vent. sorry its so gloomy. promise i wont always be like this. have a beautiful night.

i'm sorry to hear that about your gma. we all have our stories to tell here, it seems. it's interesting to hear where you guys are all coming from. i have a lot to think about..but i believe that god doesn't give us more than we can handle. just have faith.
Nice to meet you Mookie! I love your name. Cancer is hard on everyone, but you just have to remember that you can do this. That is the important part.
I'm up for studying the stuff they gave us. The most important part of studying that I've found is Where should we study? The place makes a big difference in how productively things go.
