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!
hey guys! i got my books yesterday. and yes that was a lot of books. luckly my sister came along to help me carry all of them. oh, ms tookes told me not to get the iclicker but the bookstore lady said no its included in your voucher and i told her what ms. tookes said, not to add it. and she said "awww whatever everybody has been adding so don't worry about it." i said ok because there was a line of students wanting to pay. so my question is have any of you that have worksource used the voucher to pay for the iclicker? is it really a big deal? i know it eats into the rest of my money for books for the other terms but i don't want to get off on the wrong foot with them especially since they are paying for everything.:)
:heartbeat
don't worry. i don't think she really cared because ms. tookes actually told me that a lot of the other students were getting the iclicker with no problem. the main reason she warns you is that you will have to come out of pocket for next term on your books. from the way she said it though regardless of whether you use the voucher to get the iclicker you are going to have to come out of pocket next term. we only get 800.00 for 1st term and we have already spent anywhere from 90.00-130.00(if you get the iclicker) over that. we get 200.00 for 2nd term so we only have 110.00-70.00 left.
either way she told me to try to get it on my own but didn't say that i absolutely had too.
Hey I just got home from getting all my books and I think I missed one. What does the front cover of the Laboratory & Diagnostic Tests with Nursing Implications look like? I am going to hate to have to drive out to North campus again for one book if I am missing it. Thanks
My husband gave me some good advice the other day. He said, "Look how many nurses there are. They went throught all of this, too. You all aren't the first and definetely won't be the last. This is all part of the process. Do you think they want a nurse that can't handle a little pressure?"
- Your husband rocks! Mine is just like, "why couldn't we have done this a year later" LOL
Hi everyone! My last day of work was last night and now the real work comes. Anyhoobee I am still waiting for that %$$&@#* from worksource to contact me. I have left two emails and I am getting POed if you know what I mean. I guess if I don't hear something by tomorrow I am going to have to come 500 bucks out of pocket for books that I really don't have!!! The least the guy could've done was send me a courtesy message back you know. Freakin' rude S.O.B.!
Ok so I got that off my chest. How's everyone doing? My inlaws just got here from Texas but I wanted to catch up on ya'll. I'll be talkin' to you all soon.

melanie. this is awful news. you are such a wonderful woman with a lot of drive. just know that it is never the final say. i know you will make it happen if not this semester than next.

my caseworker (at another campus) told me that since it is required, they will include it. she didn't say anything about it eating into any future funds. also we did save some money by buying the box of books and she was happy about that. i wouldn't worry about it. i didn't want to post that bit of news about the i-clicker because i didn't want to get anyone in trouble but if my case manager said it was ok i wouldn't worry about it too much!
I'm good. Well, no I'm not. But there's nothing I can do. It's too late to appeal anything for the Fall, I have to do everything now for January. I just have to apply for Spring Term...but, I'll spend the whole Fall term wondering "what if".

If you go and talk to the director of nursing, there might be something they can do. It is always a possibility....extinguish all of your options before you give up!
I've been working so hard to get everything together to get in the program. Everything has been going wrong. I'm having problems with finances @ home, problems with finances @ school, behind on bills, problems with transportation, I have to move before the end of the year. Everything that could possibly cause problem is causing problems.
With all of this going on, maybe it would be too much to enter the program. But it was just such a struggle to even get my foot in the door. I said I wanted to fight the Financial Aid decision. More than likely I will talk to the Nursing Director. Yea, I'm going to email her now. Something has got to give. I'm not the only one to have gone thru something like this. At this point it's just hard to deal with, you know?
