Who is planning to enroll in the nursing program next doing spring or fall?

I'm planning to enroll in fall 2015. I'm currently doing my perquisites this summer and I plan to almost finished by next spring. The only class I will have pending will be A&P II which I hope to take over the next summer session.

So who is joining me? It's going to long year of waiting and I simply can not wait to get into nursing program.

I hope to apply into Lee but might consider Charlotte since technically it's closer to me.

Really?? Crap lol They could be applying to other locations too. I'm probably just making excuses though..lol I freak myself out thinking that there's no way that my score was high enough but then I think that it's not as bad as the Fall. I guess we won't really know until they call us.

In the past threads I seen that some people got into charlotte with 72. I think we will be fine. I'm just hoping that maybe she was exaggerating. She probably did like 5 that day. IDK. I'm impatient! I wish more people posted on here.

Haha me too! I figured they would take more than 24 since it's about the same size as the Lee campus. I saw the one post where someone said even someone with a 60 something got into Charlotte. I wanted to get my CPR certification and the other one we have to have as soon as possible but I don't want to until I know for sure that I got in.

Yeah, I looked it up and I seen it was $50. What do we have to do for the immunization/health report/TB screening? Do they give us a paper to take to the doctor?

I think they give us a sheet that we print out and take it in or they just give us a list and we have to go ask for it. I'm not too sure. I might have a lot of them already because I had to get quite a few when I was accepted into the Exercise Science program at FGCU. Before we could start classes we had to get like 10 different immunizations including the TB test and a few blood tests but I decided to back out last minute and apply for the Nursing program which is what I really want to do. I'm hoping I already have most of them and I can just show them my sheet. I also volunteered at Gulf Coast Hospital and had to have immunizations to start.

I seen online they had an option for BLS for healthcare providers renewal so maybe you can just do that. It was the AHA one too.

Oh ok I see. I'm a little worried because when I was 10, I tested positive for tb. I was medicated and I had X-rays done which showed was inactive TB but that was 15 years ago. So I don't know what I am suppose to do now. I guess I'm going to have to get X-rays again because I can't get the shot. Hopefully this doesn't complicate the process if I do get in:(

You can't take the test again? I think you just have to get chest X-rays every so often but it shouldn't effect you getting into the program :)

No. If you get a positive result from a PPD test you cant. Thanks, that makes me feel better :)

Hmm, I didn't know that. Well that's what they told the volunteers for the hospital. If it came back positive, all you had to do was get a chest x-ray for a certain period of time to make sure everything is still okay :)
