fccj spring 2007 accepted nursing students

Nurses General Nursing

Published

This is for all the students who have been accepted into the FCCJ nursing program for the spring of 2007. I just wanted to try and get to know some of the students before the semester started, and possibly get any information from anybody who knows about the scheduling.

Wow so many of you guys. I'm not at fccj but I'm from Jacksonville and attending a nursing school in Tallahassee. Good luck to all of you.

I sent an e-mail to Ms.Emily last night so I will post her response when I get it. I did buy the online access codes just to be safe. Since a grade of 80% is required but a lower grade will stay in your record I wanted to make sure I got a high score. You should also be preparing for the medical dosage test that we take first.

I did receive her e-mail today. If anyone did not get it, I would be happy to copy it here. You should also let her know if you missed it so you get on her e-mail list.

Good luck to you first termers!!! I'm just finishing first term at FCCJ. It's tough and sometimes can be discouraging:) Some helpful hints from me:

Pharm was my hardest subject. Burns is a good teacher to sit in on if you can as she writes the tests .......

Get your lab hours in and don't wait until the last week.

Don't buy the stupid nurse notes thingys

Anyways enjoy the holidays!

I didnt realize she wrote the pharm tests, any how i have smith (carswell) for pharm, but I remember them specifically saying at orientation that we are not allowed to attend other classes we aren't assigned for. hopefully they dont actually enforce it, especially if there becomes an occasion where i must miss my assigned time.

Never had problems with that rule. . . Never remember hearing it. My teachers encouraged it. Always find out WHO writes what tests. Watts does the Concepts so we usually had extra people in our concepts class. Burns wrote pharm so we had extra in our pharm. No big deal to the teachers. Before finals the Pharm class was PACKED.

wow than it must be okay, perhaps i misunderstood something. Now do most people usually attend both their normal lecture time and also the test writers? also i realize it might change from one semester to the next but do you know who creates the other tests? and also do the teachers actually announce themselves "by the way i make the tests" or is it just something you figure out, just curious. thanks for the heads up though:D

Has anyone actually found a benefit to attending lectures by the teacher that writes the test? Since everyone is supposed to teach the same topic the test content should be covered regardless of which instructor is lecturing. I say this because the same theory was always talked about when I did both my under grad and graduate degrees and I (along with other students) never found that practice to be of any benefit. If you study the material, take notes, pay attention and ask questions for clarification in your class, attending another lectures was not necessary.

hey i dont even see burns as one of the listed teachers for pharmacology this semester...are you sure he's teaching this semester?

Burns is not teaching this semester, a shame too because she was teaching this fall semester, and one of my friends highly recommended her, but unfortunately she wasnt a choice.
