Hi everyone, I am finishing my AA right now, I have about 2 more semesters to go and then I will apply to the Basic BSN program at FIU. I have questions for those already in the program or those who have graduated from it. I'd enjoy hearing any experiences, likes, dislikes, etc.
So my questions are:
What made FIU stand out to you?
What was your GPA when you got accepted? Were you a transfer to FIU or were you a freshman there?
How much do they look at your essay?
How was the Hesi A2 in terms of difficulty and how long did you study to get your score?
Did work in the program? What scholarships were helpful to you? I also want to know what you think about the extra costs. For example, I know you need to have a PDA/ipod touch, etc. How much did you spend on books alone first semester?
If you can, provide advice about teachers.... however, thanks to ratemyprofessor, it may be unnecessary. :) Hehe.
What are those two prenursing classes like? The COM and NUR ones?
Again, any info would be great, thanks so much for commenting. :)
oh man that sucks well have all your questions ready for tomorrow and its driving me crazy, now I have to change my schedule all over again because of anatomy, etc. Well lets just overcome these obstacles! that's what it is all about :) Oh he said not to worry about the nursing class because a lot of people always drop it (about 40, he expects) so there will be room. (my friend is on that waiting list, and she couldnt get a permission code to enroll in it so she has to wait until other students drop it). Just keep checking or I dont know if you enrolled already, but, dont worry that one shouldnt be a problem. I asked sooo many things now I dont remember...well no I think thats all thats relevant to you. Now I have to plan and enroll in other classes again good luck! and let me know what you hear tomorrow :]
Hey! I just got back from talking to three different people at the school of Nursing. I was told I could still take the classes over the summer as long as I have my APPLICATION in before May 15 and am ACCEPTED into FIU as a transfer student. I leapt for joy! Basically I better have graduated with my AA from MDC before the May 15 deadline as well as have turned in all my paper work. And over the summer I can take those two courses as a FIU student. Does that make sense? I am so relieved
Oh and I forgot to mention how that whole thing of the deadline IS true but won't really be applied for right now, for those who are applying for Fall 2011. I guess they recognized how unfair it would be, and almost impossible. So it would probably apply for the next class.
hey on eagles wings! ive been soooo busy but i just saw your messages and im now taking human anatomy, anatomy lab, NUR 3119, microbiology, micro lab, and physiology lab. Oh yea and i got a D on microbiology last semester which is why im retaking it now and the nursing advisor sent me an email that i cant apply to FIU's nursing program soooo since i wasnt going to finish everything by summer ill just apply next spring to UF and etc. -.- sigh!! well how are your classes going?!
