FSCJ Fall 2010 ACCEPTED

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Okay here we are!!!!!!

I just called the bookstore. They said they have the book list in! I'm going to try to see if I can get some used books off amazon or something. I'll let you know if I find any good deals.

Also, is anyone else having trouble contacting the worksource office? I have gone in there, on a friday and they said they weren't seeing anyone :(, and called 3 times but haven't heard anything back. I'm going to try and make it up there today to see if I qualify for anything.

Worksource will be ther on orientation day handing out packets and answering questions. They will be processing people for possible money available to them if qualified on the 23rd, so they will set you up with an appointment on orientation day for the 23rd; so if you can't get anyone to respond to you, you will at least be able to set things up then. Otherwise, you should just go to one of the offices--probably you would have the best information from the North Campus site more than any of the others. But I did receive my packet of information from the Worksource office at Deerwood.

Hope that helps.

Hello Everyone.....I got accepted a few days ago, and am very excited. Does anyone live on the westside/ortega area of Jacksonville?

I am on the westside. I live right near oakleaf plantation. If that is close enough for you, we could probably start thinking about forming study groups.

NursRatchet, I just found this wonderful post and I wanted to let you know how grateful I am to you and to Butterflymom for the wonderful information you provided. It is so nice to be able to get a little head start on the material. THANK YOU! BJ

i got my titers results and i was negative for mumps.

after we get a booster, do we just submit that we got the booster? we don't have to get another set of titers done or anything like that?

Yes, I talked to Ms. Porter today and she told me you will need to get new IGG titers after you have the booster to make sure your have a positive response. She said some people have to have 2 boosters.

Grading scale: 93-100 A, 86-92 B, 80-85 C, below 80 F THERE IS NO ROUNDING! If you get a 79.999, you will fail. Twice I receive a grade of B when my course average was 92.xx%

After 4 terms, I can say that for the most part you don't need to bring the book to class. Print off your power point slides and take notes on the slides. You can read at home and the lack of weight helps your back!

Wooooow, no rounding for .001%. That's brutal. Very, very good to know. Thanks for the warning!!

Great synopsis, Natalie. Thanks for taking the time to write it all down and for re-posting the study material and professor information. You rock.

Regarding watches, I just got one at the Uniform Outlet in St. Augustine for $30.00 that you wear as a pin upside down on your top. It is glow in the dark so you can read the time in the dark and since it isn't worn on your wrist, you can have two hands free and also don't have to worry about it getting wet since it's not near your hands. The lady there said that she's selling a lot of them.

Sweet! I'm going to get one of those. The medical assistant in my office is always saying she wishes she had more arms. Anything that will free up our hands will be a good investment :)

thank you! i finally got a hold of someone and she said that i will qualify. i have a meeting at 10 on the 23rd.

does anyone know anyone that receives worksource now? do you know what kind of information they ask for, or what they consider "low income"?

Another financial aid question. Does anyone know how to get the other unsubsidized amount? I have the limit for the subsidized amount and thought that the unsub would just automatically be added in.

you have to edit your fasfa saying you want to be offered unsubsidized loans as well.

You're most welcome sweet pea :redbeathe

Butterflymom was great. This is all so overwhelming and will get way more overwhelming. Getting some kind of grasp on what we're up against makes it slightly less daunting.

FLladybug just got her skills kit and said they don't have any more this minute, but are expecting more Friday (tomorrow). So call before you go up there. She picked up her blue polo tees. Last term was saying that the Meridys clothing runs big, but ladybug says that is not the case for the polos.

Also, regarding shoes, I worked for a podiatrist for several years, and now I do his transcription. Just because shoes feel great when you put them on does not mean they won't make your feet hurt later. Arch support is key for people who are on their feet for long hours. The best shoes are athletic-style, running shoes (not walking shoes). Orthotics are basically a good idea for everybody, regardless of foot type. You can purchase a prefabricated one fairly cheaply, but if you have insurance, check to see if custom-molded orthotics are covered because they are the most beneficial. My doctor recommends running shoes by Nike, New Balance, or Saucony. In addition to foot discomfort, orthotics can also help with back and knee pain. They helped my back tremendously.

See everybody in 11 days!! I'm so excited!!!!! :redpinkhe

Butterflymom gets assistance from worksource. Try sending her a PM.

Also regarding shoes, most people wear their shoes too tightly. Unless you get skin irritation from your feet slipping around in your shoes too much, always opt for a half size larger, and most people need a wide size, especially if you have bunion pain or pain in the metatarsals. Order them online if the wide size is not available. It's worth the extra effort. A lot of nurses deal with chronic foot pain, and it just gets worse and worse as time goes on.
