FSCJ SPRING 2015

[Nay91]

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?

My Co worker got her BSN letter so hopefully we know something soon.

I knew it was coming. So my fingers are CROSSED that we hear something soon. I get nervous everyday.

Quick Question, if you get the worksource scholarship, do you still get your financial aid as well? I don't plan on working the first semester and I could pay a few bills with the refund from financial aid if I still get it.

Yes, you get both.

Also there are tons of scholarships for nursing school students. Fscj offers some and you can do a google search. If you go to connections and click on financial aid there will be a section labeled scholarship search (I think). There are several for students in the nursing program.

Hey I'd you were talking about what was mailed to me from fscj it was my decal for my car. The envelope wasn't even big. I was so mad at my mother in law for getting my hopes up like that.

yes you will still get your financial aid even if you get the worksource scholarship. my friend who is also applying has already went and talked to a Financial Aid councelor specifically about this because we both plan on taking off from work to focus fully on first term (if accepted of course) (:

I am hoping for days also! I think the nights and weekends are the limited spots. And yeah all of my neighbors are stalking the mail man for me.. Haha even though it's highly unlikely they will be in today's mail I can't wait to check it lol. This anxiety is killing me.

That is a pretty cool job. My husband actually tried for corrections and didn't have much luck. We are both doing nursing. I'm going first because I have everything done he's working on his pre reqs now. He will go when I'm finished.
