FCCJ Fall 2008

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.

i have to decline my seat.

financial aid denied me. worksource denied me. i'm so depressed right now i don't know what to do. i'm bout to have a freakin' nervous breakdown. i can't take all this crap. everything that could possibly go wrong right now, is! i've been crying so long, my head hurts. i haven't cleaned, cooked...

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.

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

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 sorry to hear that Melanie. Isn't there anything else you can do? *Hugs*

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'm still in shock!

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?

Melanie, I want to remind you that everything happens for a reason, I know you have been praying but sometimes what we want isnt whats right for us even if we dont see it that way at the time, Just know that there is a reason, maybe this could be a good thing, because you know what to expect next semester, you know you will get in, so now all you have to do is take the next four months to straighten everything else out for the spring, maybe with all the other pressure you wouldnt have been able to give it your all to your full potential, I know this sounds crazy but try to think of it as a blessing of time to deal with some stuff....you already know your smart enough to get in, and now you have 4 whole months to learn your dosage calculations and medical terminology! just promise me you wont give up! and keep on praying because he knows the plans he has for you, not to harm you but to give you a future, his timing is not our timing! ill be praying for you chica!
