FGC LPN 2013 Hopeful

sammiesoda · Oct 17, 2012

Yeah I figured that the titers aren't a waste even if I don't get in, can never be too safe and all that. I haven't heard anything yet, not expecting to for anothe 3-6 weeks but I have a really good score fore there program. Max there is 260 but 20 is exp points, I have a 224. The only thing is that they only reserve 10% of their seats for out of county. Last semester out of county students were getting denied with 223 points even though in county students were accepted with 190 points... I know my hesi wasn't the greatest at fgc but I think I read they only count the hesi if points are tied. I do know that at FSCJ about 400 ppl apply every semester and at fgc the same went for the rn program... Honestly I haven't done a lot of research on the LPN :/ hoping sooooo bad to be an rn first lol when are you supposed to hear from NFCC?

That's a really good score though so hopefully you will get into the RN program! All that county stuff is crazy. I wish all schools would just take the students who are best qualified. I'm not exactly sure when I will know about NFCC. They said "well before Thanksgiving". I'm going crazy trying to figure out when that is so I guess that letter will be a surprise. I'm just not expecting anything from either school til around November 15th.

I know I wish it was just the people who were best for it too. I feel like I'm getting punished for going to different schools and living somewhere that I actually feel safe. I hope you get into NFCC! That would mean no bridge to rn just getting it done :) maybe you'll hear from them before fgc and won't need to worry about their letter at all.

Yeah, NFCC gives preference for their area too & only takes twenty something people so I know how you feel. Luckily for FGC I just moved to Lake City. I know 2 years is a long time, but since we both have kids it could be easier going straight to RN instead of having to bridge. Part of me wanted to do LPN though just to be making money, but may not be worth it in the long run. I hope we both get accepted into both programs. It would be nice not having to read a rejection letter, even if we only pick one. lol. I'm ready to start checking the mail, but I know it's pointless til November.

I know right, rejection letters are such a bummer. I know what you mean about just making money, but from what I understand a lot of places are doing away with LPN's and only taking nurses and like CNA's I guess CNA's and LPN's do a lot of the same work but you don't have to pay CNA's as much

Hey, I got an acceptance letter for FSCJ today :) I hope you get in at NFCC!!!!

Tiffany110207 · Oct 21, 2012

Oh my goodness.. Congratulations! I'm so happy for you & at least your wait ended earlier than expected. I guess you will no longer be waiting for the LPN acceptance! =) Thank you, I REALLY hope I get into NFCC.. and find out soon! lol. Guess this means you can officially begin to shop.:)

sammiesoda · Oct 22, 2012

Thank you :) Lol yeah, they said we wouldn't get them for weeks. Yeah I guess shipping will need to commence now. I really hope you get in, I know this is an anonymous social network, but you seem real nice. You definitely need to post in here if you get in so I can congratulate you!

Tiffany110207 · Oct 27, 2012

Thank you! I hope that I find out early like you did.. I've already started "stalking" my mailman for that letter lol. At least I should know about both within the next 2-3 weeks. You have worked hard & deserve it. You seem like a nice person as well. Have you found out when you would get to have orientation and stuff?

Tiffany110207 · Nov 7, 2012

Well, I didn't get accepted to NFCC on Monday, but luckily I got my acceptance letter for FGC yesterday so I turned in the paper today saying that I accept my seat. Did you get into FGC too? Although I know you're planning to attend the other school. But at least we both got in somewhere! :) The wait is FINALLY over!

sammiesoda · Nov 9, 2012

For whatever reason I never got email notification of your last post but all my stuff is due the 19th and my orientation is dec 3-4. I got my letter from fgc today, denied lol but I'm so glad you got in! It sucks about NFCC but at least you can started and you'll be able to work sooner :) when do you do orientation and whatnot?
