FIU Nursing 2015

Published

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>

Does anyone know if they are going to provide free parking for the transfer students?

I would call the CNHS office and ask beforehand because metered parking can get expensive, especially if you're there all day. If they aren't much help, contact the Department of Parking and Transportation at 305-348-3615, they may be able to answer your question better than the nursing office.

Parking during the summer isn't usually very strict because the amount of students on campus is significantly less, but I wouldn't risk it. I'm sure that they should be able to accommodate transfer students who have yet to receive decals.

I called the transportation office today, it looks like I will be paying the $10 for metered parking.

Yeah a lot of documents like health insurance and immunizations. I'm assuming we have to pay for the drug test and fingerprints ourselves seperately?

In the email we got it just said to select background check... Or did I misread? Were we supposed to select all of the things that were under required?

All that I was instructed to complete per the acceptance email was the background check. I haven't received any further word about the drug test, fingerprints, and immunizations but I'm hopeful that they'll give us that information at orientation.

Ok thanks. I'm excited for orientation!

In the email I received when I first got accepted said to meet all the requirements to be cleared through the American data base. I don't know if that also includes the forms and stuff. But I am going to wait till orientation

Did everyone else receive the email about the orientation being students only?

Yes I did. And they give us free panera breakfast. Woo hoo

Do you guys know where to park? I have no idea how I'm going to find the building...

Does anyone know how long the orientation is supposed to be? I heard it was going to be from 8 am to 5 pm.
