FCCJ Summer 2009, anyone?

noeyrn · Oct 31, 2008

I'll be applying for summer 09. I hope to get into nights/weekends but I know someone that applied with 202 for nights/weekends for spring 09 and she got days . I'm really wishing that I took that enc class this semester now.

I am applying for Summer 09! I am really pushing for the night/ weekends too! I work full time and would absolutely hate to give up my day job. That story about your friend makes me nervous. I wonder what the chances are and if I should take my NAT exam again.... :confused: So what happens if you get days- do you decline and apply again for the next term? Is there a waitlist?

My MCB prof and a couple other people told me that nights/weekend is a lottery which makes me really nervous. I know they let in less people in summer, but I'm pretty sure quite a few would still like nights/weekends. I stay at home with my little girl, so it would be hard to do the day schedule.

For nights and weekends, the people with the highest points that want it, get it.

This is what the nursing office always told me but last week they said lottery and so did my MCB prof.... not sure if they're changing things up.

you get into the night/weekend program based on your application points and like miss whitney said the higher your points the better. there are 24 seats for the night/weekend program. so lets say the top 24 (highest points) people all want nights/weekend program then thats it. there is only one schedule for the night program so no need for the lottery. the only time you do the lottery is when you actually pick your schedule for the day program. oh by the way you have to mark on your application if you want days or nights. 1st and 2nd choice. if you are accepted to days the you stay days through the whole program same with night/weekend...... now if they have decided to change things again then i am not surprised. but i am going to term 2 so this is the lastest info......

get ready its going to be tough!! good luck!! :heartbeat

Hey! Is anyone going to the information session today for the nursing program?

actually that's not completely accurate. i'm currently in nights and weekends, going into third term. we did the lottery to pick our sections for next term. the difference is that there are only 2 sections, and we all have lecture together on the same day, so you are really only picking where you want to have clinical's at and who you want as an instructor. granted it's a little silly considering there's only 24 of us but that's what they did.

for people who want nights and weekends, just know that there will be times you have to attend things during the day during the week. most hospital orientations are during the day during the week and they are mandatory. we usually get the schedule decently in advance so we know when we have to be places. but realize you are effectively giving up your weekends for the next 16 months.

RN-nowCNM-later · Nov 28, 2008

yeah i was just making sure they knew that you don't pick nights/weekends by the lottery. that you have to actually apply for it.

oh yeah.... guys just a heads up. they will now be doing the lottery for every term. no more first come first serve on the computer after term 1. they said that the systems were crashing because 150+ students trying to register at the same time. okay back to studying......
