FCCJ Summer 2010 hopefuls...

Published

Is it too early to start a thread like this? LOL

I'll be finishing up my pre-requisites this fall, and then applying in the spring for the Summer 2010 session. I still need to study for the NAT and actually take the exam and take a CPR course. I'm considering getting my CNA and trying to find work in healthcare to get my foot in the door.

I am so nervous about the whole process, nervous about whether I should try to work and go to school, and especially nervous if this is something I can handle. I am afraid of all the responsibility.

Anyone else planning for next Summer? What is your process looking like, what are your thoughts/feelings?

The uniforms are all white scrubs w/ blue stripes on the sleeve, we had to ordered them off of a website they have patch w/ FSCJ logo on it... We also had to ordered a blue polo w/ the school logo and nursing student on it, we have to wear tht with khakis... We wear polos and khakis during group presentations in class, one of our simulations test, during hospital orientation, community service and when we go to the hospital to pick up our patient charts the day before clinicals. We wear the all white uniform for one simulation test and everyday for clinicals! First term you go to clinicals once a week BUT it doesn't start until week 8! I am in first term and we have our first clinical day next week! Good luck everyone!! FYI nursing school is a lot of work but its not tht bad! I am currently sitting at a 4.0 gpa this semester! Another thing the grading scale ia different 93%- 100% is an A 86%-92% is a B 80%- 85% is a C anything less than 80% is a F!!!!!

Thanks FutureRNMom! Can you find your own (white, yuck!) pants and just order the shirt?

Good luck in your clinicals! :)

Sara yea u can buy your own white pants and khaki pants wherever you want to!!! Also all white leather or leather like shoes!

I just checked our mail box and saw a big white envelope with my name on it....it was just my life insurace information...:uhoh3:......so depressing

Im not gonna start expecting an acceptance letter until after the 6 week mark.

I heard from the people here say they got emails to tell them if they got accepted. I wonder if they got the email the same day or even before the letters came.

I received an email and my letter on the same day! It was exactly 6 weeks when we found out... BTW the envelope will be the manilla colored ones....

Hi Future RN MOM,

About the previous post, Where did you receive the email letting you know you were admitted? Did you receive it through the FCCJ website or your personal email address?

Thanks,

Fscj email is the only email they communicate to you...

As far as the waiting game goes... I called the North campus on Friday and asked them when we should know something. She said, and I quote... "Six weeks from the Feb. 1st deadline" So we might hear something in the next two weeks or so...

Well then we can look at that as a plus. Now only two more weeks instead of four!
