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?

Hello, i posted a comment to you but not sure if it tagged your user name. i was wondering if you could please send me the new packet! Thank you for offering to send those out to all of us who need it! :)

Hi,

I have a question about the scoring of the hesi? Is it simply the total of the four sections divided by four or is it the way it shows on the application:

score total divided by four x 1.2???

You can either add up each section/ divide by 4 / then multiply x 1.2 or do them each individually. I'm pretty sure it will come out to the same number!

So far I have a score of 177.3 as well without micro but I am taking the HESI again in sept so I hope to do better in biology and anatomy now that u know what the questions are. I got a 84% on it the first time without much studying so hopefully I can do better.

Someone asked who had kids earlier and I have 3 little ones who I will be juggling along with nursing school.

Has anyone else calculated their score? Heard anything new?

i feel like there is going to be very few people applying for spring! Can I get people's opinions on how you think we will do?

I know that I received an email from Cheryl about a month ago that for the spring term we can still be enrolled in micro to apply. Has anyone else heard anything different? I just want to double check since it seems like they want to change things last minute.
