FSCJ SPRING 2015

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Hello, everyone!

Since no one has started a Spring 2015 for FSCJ Nursing, I thought I would start it. I plan on applying the beginning of September I will take the exam in august. I'm very nervous of course. I have a preq gpa of 2.87 but I have an overall gpa of 3.23. Has anyone heard that FSCJ has changed their entrance exam to the HESI A2? Anyone applying to FSCJ hoping to get accepted for the spring?

Do you mind my asking how you found out about the info session on the 4th? Do I need to be on an email mailing list, or is there a page on the FSCJ website with that type of information on it and I'm just totally not seeing it?! Thank you for the points update you shared for those of us who did miss the meeting, though.

Thank you,

Shannon

Yes, I would love to know too. I had no idea they had info sessions. I have exchanged e-mails with Ms. James several times and she has never mentioned anything about info sessions. Seems to me that if someone inquired about the nursing program she would say "hey, by the way, we have info sessions if you're interested", you know.

Yea, how are you guys hearing about info sessions and receiving applications in the mail? I was told we had to get one by email or go to north campus to pick one up?

Hi everyone,

I missed my seat by 0.11 points. They took away 12 points from my score as they did not accept on of my classes. I went to the information session on August 4 and this is what I found out

***NEW INFORMATION***

Like you know Sociology has been taken out as a pre-requisite and Chemistry has been included instead.

*There is change in the way you calculate your points for the classes you have taken. The courses such as: Anatomy I, Anatomy II, Microbiology and MAC 1105 have a weight value of x1.5. This means:

For example:

Anatomy I (4 credits) - you earn an A which is 16 points. Multiply 16 by 1.5. -------> (16 x 1.5) = 24 points

Anatomy II (4 credits) - you earn a B which is 12 points. Multiply 12 by 1.5 --------> (12 x 1.5) = 18 points

Microbiology (4 credits) - you earn an A which is 16 points. Multiply 16 by 1.5 --------> (16 x 1.5) = 24 points

MAC 1105 or higher (3 credits) - you earn a C which is 8 points. Multiply 8 x 1.5 --------> (8 x 1.5) = 12 points

***On the other hand the other pre-requisite courses are weighted as x0.5. Meaning:

For example:

Humanities (3 credits) - you earn an A which is 12 points. Multiply 12 by 0.5. ----------> (12 x 0.5) = 6 points

DEP 2004 (3 credits) - you earn an A which is 12 points. Multiply 12 by 0.5. ----------> (12 x 0.5) = 6 points

ENC 1101 (3 credits) - you earn an A which is 12 points. Multiply 12 by 0.5. ----------> (12 x 0.5) = 6 points

PSY 1012 (3 credits) - you earn an A which is 12 points. Multiply 12 by 0.5. ----------> (12 x 0.5) = 6 points

Chemistry (3 credits) - you earn an A which is 12 points. Multiply 12 by 0.5. ----------> (12 x 0.5) = 6 points

******* SO, 24 + 18 + 24 + 12 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 108 POINTS

This is how you will calculate you points from now on. Hope this will help you guys. Do not worry by looking at the 0.5 mulitplier. because the 1.5 multiplier will balance everything out. however, there is a tendency that your points might decrease by 1 or 2 points or increase by 1 or 2 points.

Do you know when the next information session is?

Those who have taken the HESI exam, do you know if we have to take the chemistry? Cause the register for the exam does say it. Please ASAP feedback.

When is everyone sending in their applications. I'm nervous about this. How do you all think it going to go. With this being the first time they use the HESI and the changes they made with the preqs. I'm hoping we all get it. I just wonder what the lowest number will be cause every year it gets lower.
