FSCJ Nursing-Summer 2015

U.S.A. Florida

Published

I haven't seen any thread for Summer 2015 Nursing Program for FSCJ, so I decided to create this one. There has been slight changes made to the program and to the prerequisite requirements.

Is anyone else planning to apply for the program? Any tips?

Words of encouragement?

Have you taken the HESI?

Is this your first time shooting to the program?

does anyone know how to calculate your overall points with the HESI?

Hi Danielle....There is an updated packet I just received today from Angie Shrowder in the nursing dept. with the new calculation I can email to you if you like. Have you taken the HESI yet? I'm planning to take it Sept. or Oct. but I'm applying for Fall 2015 program.

Please, please email it to me! I've been trying to reach out to Ms.James, but she hasn't emailed me back. My email is [email protected]

I haven't taken the HESI yet, I am trying to gauge the deadline time. If it is true and has been changed that you must receive a grade in Micro before applying, I won't make the December 1 deadline for Summer (classes end Dec12, I believe-so grades won't be posted). That will push me to the Fall semester, deadline April 1..so like I said, just trying to gauge my time, so I know where I stand then I'll go from there to schedule it.

Have you heard how they will score the chemistry class if we took a 4 credit chem class with lab instead of 3 credit CHM1020 w/o lab?

I believe from reading the new packet, which is effective for spring term, that Micro needs to be completed prior to applying. As far as the Chemistry class looks like you would not be able to count the points for the 4th credit hour, only three. Good thing we know the changes ahead of time and hopefully these will stick for awhile (at least till we get to apply lol).

I just got done reading the newest packet you sent, I hate that we can't apply while in Micro, but now knowing the new deadline dates I can set up and time manage studying for the HESI better!

I hope they don't change anymore! Good luck with the HESI and your final prereqs!;)

Hey Y'all! I'm applying for the Summer 2015 class. I took the NAT test (and nailed it) the day before they did away with it. The frustrating part about that is that the lady at the testing center stated they would be changing over to HESI, but wasn't sure when. What a waste of time and money.

I'm currently studying for the HESI A2 and hope to take the test before September 20th. I just need to take this test and complete A&P II this fall. I'm still kind of confused how to calculate my entrance score - if anyone could forward me anything that fully explains it, I'd greatly appreciate it. THANKS and I look forward to getting through this frustrating journey with y'all, haha.

What's your email? I'll send u the new nursing program packet...it shows how to calculate your score with grades and HESI...

I unfortunately an not applying till Fall 2015. I'll be in MICRO starting this Fall semester 2014, at south campus. I'm going to apply in February. Planning to take HESI in December/January....I'm anxious, but feel that it's time for my hard work to pay off and start a career I'll love!!

Hi ladies!! After following threads on this site for quite some time, I finally decided to get registered! I took the HESI yesterday afternoon. Glad that's over with! My points from the required classes and the HESI give me a total of 199.2 points. I'm going to retake the HESI before Feb 1st, summer 2015's deadline so that I can try and up my points some. Where are you guys at with your points?

Is anyone is as nervous and excited as I am?!!?!

Hi, AParkey welcome :) How was the HESI? I've read from other post's the A&P and biology are the hardest? I plan to take mine in October and am finishing up Micro in the fall. Applying in March for Fall program...Seems so far away but got to keep pushing. Your score looks pretty good! I think from the looks of the scores I've seen and calculating mine so far they are going to increase some, mine went up about 10 points with the change, which I'm sure will mean the cut-off may be higher.

Thanks for the welcome Kristin

The HESI wasnt bad. I did really well in the reading and math sections, but the anatomy and biology were tough. I knew id have trouble in the biology section since Micro was such a tough class for me. However, i did pull a B in the class. Thank goodness! The anatomy section was a tad bit easier than the biology. When studying id focus on these: math focus on converting units, finding what X is in a ratio and working out problems involving fractions. Biology, study up on the processes of a cell/organism and anatomy id do an overall review. I bought the HESI Assesment book and also studied from Quizlet. I'm going to focus more on biology and anatomy this time around since those are the sections i didnt do the greatest in.

You seem like you have a great plan! You'll have to let me know how you do on the HESI. I wish you the best!

Regarding points, mine went up about 10 points to with the change. Makes me wonder if the cut off waa raised too. I wonder if my 199.2 points will be good enough :nailbiting :nailbiting: Either way, im still going to retake it in Novemberbor or December and try and get it up.
