FSCJ Fall 2012

That is excellent info liamsmama thanks for that, now I see a flicker of hope..I gotta still try FSCJ then. So far I only found Daytona State College has an even program but its more like afternoon with times from 2pm - 11pm. Its just about impossible to keep a day job with that schedule. Spring applications will be between august and October plenty of time for me to get the NAT done.

@man-nurse2b,

I'm pretty much in the same boat. I really need N/W classes, but I still went and applied for the Fall 2012 program at FSCJ...I'm trying to see if maybe I can rearrange a few things and make it happen. I'm honestly just ready to get this started!! If I cannot make the day schedule work, then I will definitely be applying for Spring 2013. Isn't it fun having responsibilities plus trying to better your education?!? Haha, gotta love life

Good luck on your NAT!!

Good Morning fellow hopefuls for Fall 2012! I have completed pre-req, taken the NAT and have submitted my application for Fall! I wanted to do this 30 years ago, and didn't...its all about timing and mind-set; call me a late (very) bloomer...anyone else out there that might also be a late bloomer?

@pottersclay48 I am 38. Compared to most of the people I have met in my classes so far I would also consider myself a late bloomer! I have worked full time while completing my pre reqs and have 2 kids (5&14). I plan on working part time and doing days in the RN program (God willing!). Looking forward to starting some serious study groups if I get in! Let's all keep in touch. Anyone interested? Looking forward to working together to reach a common goal and make some life long friends too!

I'm sure you are not alone in those feelings :) Good luck with everything!!

"you should be golden!"..I sure hope so!! When will we hear?? I can't wait! :)

I will take day/night/weekends/Summer/Christmas and ANYTHING!!! :) I'm fortunate enough that I'm young and still living with my parents! :) So, I'm hoping that with 206 points and that flexibility, I can get in.

Anyone else from outside of Duval County applying? Does that have any impact? Do they only accept a certain number of in-county applicants?

I don't think they look at county...just your point total. I had 206 also! :)

Hey there fellow hopefuls!

I have also applied for the Fall 2012 program. I have a total of 186 (point something) points which isn't grand. I didn't do as well as I hoped I would on the NAT, my grades are 109/120. The cut off last semester was 194 (point something) and the lowest scored applicant seated was 190 (something). You have to remember that several applicants eventually decline seats due to several reasons from being unable to take day classes, changes in living situations, the upfront expenses related to starting (certifications, shots, etc). So I "Suppose" I have a slight chance, but I am not putting too much thought into it. -__-

For the comment above me, yes county does matter. Duval county residents are given first consideration. However I believe 25 seats are set aside each semester for out of county residents. You typically have to score much higher though to be accepted in. At 209, I think you will be fine though.. :)

Well, Good luck to you us all!!

*I am secretly waiting on my decision letter for JU scheduled to arrive by 6/15... Eeeek!*

Hello. Around how many guys make up a nursing class at fscj? I here its balancing out but all my sci classes were almost all women. Anyways, cant wait. Scored 216 points. I think that will be enough, wont know until i get that acceptance letter though. best of luck to everybody else (navy glam, i would spare some of my points and send them your way if i could ; ) )

Not sure how many male vs female but I suspect you wouldn't be the only male in the class. I've known a few military guys who went thru the program so I think its fairly popular. 216!!! Wow...I'm certain your in! I'm nervously waiting with my 206. :) when are those darn letters coming out!
