FIU Nursing 2015

[ArashiExo]

Hey guys! So I'm super nervous about applying to FIU because I don't think my GPA is all that great. :/ I didn't do well my first semester there so that brought my GPA doooown. Currently I have a 3.6 overall and a 3.5 science (which is really bad...I finished all of my science classes last semester). Hopefully by the end of this spring semester my overall will be at a 3.7. I do not have volunteer hours but I have been shadowing at a hospital (which I prefer because I had a bad experience volunteering lol). I'm taking the TEAS at the end of this month and I'm studying super hard for it right now >__<. if you guys have any good study tips on how to do well the teas that would be greatly appreciated too for those already in program or graduated from what think my chances are advice is great thank so much>

Yeah I was looking for somewhere to stay in Miami, so I was looking at off campus housing on the classifieds section on FIU website. The cheapest I saw was $500 for a bedroom.

Yea that's a good price compared to everything else .

How long did it take y'all to get an email back after 'replying all'? I want my orientation information already lol

[oksanad72]

A week . But I called them too ? And received the email the next morning .

Have any of you guys done the background check?? I just went in to do it and it says I have to pay $83.. I thought FIU would cover the cost since in the instructions it says that if we make a mistake we have to re-order at our own expense... ugh.

I haven't done it because I didn't see the fall 2015 option. Which option did you pick?

After selecting generic bsn it asked to pick if I was student or faculty, then fall2015 came up

[sanny101]

Oh I see, I didn't try that. I also thought it was free, at least for the first time. Well now I'm confused. I wanted everything done by orientation so I can enroll in classes.

I'm a little confused. Are we just supposed to do the background check that's $83? Because I was looking at the required things on the website. But in the email we got it just says to select background check.

I chose the criminal background check ($83). Hopefully I did it right because that is way too expensive...

[getlikeamy]

Do we all have the same orientation? I have to request off work but I haven't releived the date for it yet with the email.

I just received my acceptance email, I am so excited to meet you guys!
