FCCJ SPRING 2010

Published

I know it is a little early, but anyone plan on applying for FCCJ's spring 2010 program?? If I can get my Nat points up and if I do well in Micro this summer , I will be ready to apply!!!:yeah:Finally!!

Worksource is a FL initiative. They are there to assist the unemployed for the most part. They have training programs to get folks back to work. Tied into this is helping Nursing students. I was laid off just before starting NS. I went into them as a displaced worker. They are paying my tuition, books, uniforms, equipment and pay $5/day (that you attend school) for gas.

:D

How long did it take for them to get back to you? And how did you go about getting uniforms, equipment etc with the funds did they cut you a check for it?

I went to the worksource office and then had to take a couple of 'aptitude' type tests. If you score OK on those, they ask you to bring in a bunch of documentation and they have an orientation where a group of NS students are signed up all at once.

They give you a book voucher and you take that to the bookstore and get all that you need there. I paid for the uniform (1) and the Skills kit (I got my stethescope free from by RN brother! :D ). I turned in that receipt and got a check back at the Beginning of the month when my mileage check came in.

It takes about 2 weeks total, if I remember correctly. The days getting everything ready go so fast, you lose track of time!!!!

I didn't have to take any aptitude test they just used my NAT scores. I had my intake and its getting processed right now. Do they have a price limit on what you can spend? I don't know if I should order my uniform and supplies now or wait.

I still haven't received an acceptance or denial. Not sure at this point if I should call or wait until next week. A bit frustrating!!!

Are you reading this from another post? If so that asian girl never received a acceptance letter she received notice about a scholarship which was not from the program! The cutoff was 193 and NO ONE got in unless they had over 193!
