Fscj lpn summer 2013

Published

So waiting for this acceptance package, praying I get in.... Does anyone know spring term cut off score?

They sent me my score and also an application to reapply if I did not hear from them by the first week of school. I am thinking because i dont live in florida they put those who do in front of me but i will call her this week and seek clarification. I would think if i did get admitted that it would say congrats orientation starts on such and such a date. I didnt get that. And i appreciate you reaching out ...and you need to try again also. Take some classes on the side that will help you get a better score :) I learned a lot from life experience being a cna and hha for 11 years teaches you more than any book or class room. Hang in there just your wanting to be a nurse shows your heart[/quote']

Thanks I will apply again..... But I think you should really talk to her, you probably are going to have to go to one of the info sessions with her... I am confused to why you would not get in.. They showed us all the scores of everyone that applied (without the names) and there were like five people who scored 10 point something, and all of them got in.... so they really need to give you a explanation....

yeah...i am confused too. The only thing I can think of is I wanted nights only so I can still work, plus I live in Georgia, plus I am kinda old so maybe that knocked me out of contention but that is so unfair.Some of us bloom later than others and I have worked in florida for 8 years and will remain working there I just live in Ga because its cheaper here. I just dont know this is kinda depressing, and if they made a mistake how are they gonna fix it? The only reason I applied to fscj is that i could get a govt student loan to help cover expenses. I have an awesome job(im a home health aide) now it pays good but I want to do more. I want to be a nurse. And Im guarenteed a job with the company Im at all I need is that license so so so frustrating

Its unethical to discriminate you for your age. The school wouldn't and legally cant do that. You've got to be at least 18 yrs old and up. It's with the points system and residency I'm sure. Someone who lives in Florida got it before you because they live here in the state...even if there points were lower. :( It doesn't seem fair, but every nursing school I've inquired has a COMPLETELY new set of rules and admission requirements. So, I chose the one with the best options for me. Is this your first time applying here? What was your score again?

I know it's frustrating. :( I applied to the RN and I'm doubting il be accepted. So, don't let it upset you, apply again and also search for other schools. Your out of state tuition will be 20,000.00+ ! You could go to a tech school for that? And they are much faster in program length. You may find something else that's even better! I hope all is well and just stay positive and mostly don't give up! It'll happen for you. Good luck! :)

My score was 10.75

TABE was 12.9 12.9 11.2 =9.5

4.0 GPA=10.0

Wk Exp=1.0

And even though I am out of state it would not be out of state tuition. Since I am only 6 miles from the florida border it is a special rate. More than what a fl resident would pay but not as much as totally out of state. About 10,000. The application stated it was based on ranking score, not residency, not age, not race etc. Not only that the school was mailed a letter with my work experience prooving I had worked since 2005 in the state of florida. I am going to contact the school and find out for sure what happened. Its kinda upsetting because I have am guarenteed a job as a nurse with the same company I work for :(

Found out today why I was not accepted into the LPN program and it is because I live in Georgia (6 miles from the fl line). Even tho my scores were very high florida residents come first. I wish they had told me that right up front . *Sigh*

Congrats to everyone that has been accepted. I am thankful. I have been trying to get in since I can remember and this time wasn't the RN like I wanted but the LPN. Hey, I am one step closer than I was before. I have already started the ball rolling. I am a little overwhelmed with all the prices I see in the packet but I am gonna hustle until 5/14th. Also, is there another forum for those who have been accepted or no?
