FSCJ students PLEASE HELP!

Published

Hello everyone, I'm a Fall 2014 hopeful...was trying to find a thread for the term I'm aiming for but I don't think it has been created yet. Anyways, I'm stressing out because I was REALLY looking forward to getting into the nursing program FALL 2014 but just today I saw "NEW APPLICATION DEADLINES START FALL 2014" in the most recent updated nursing booklet, and my heart just froze. I'm devastated because I thought the FALL deadline was June 1st!! I'm enrolled in A&PII, Microbiology and College Algebra for this coming SPRING 2014 which were my last prereq courses I had to complete....what sucks the most is that all of the classes I'm enrolled end on May 9, which is past the new Fall term 2014 deadline.WH---OH---WHY Did they have to change it?! If the deadline would've been like it was before (June 1st) I would've had time. I seriously have the worst luck in the world :'( All which also means that I'll have to wait til SPRING of 2015 :nailbiting:!!! I cannot waste anymore time.... Is there Anything I can do to get into Fall 2014?? Like maybe get an excellent score on the NAT?? I'm even willing to pay out of pocket and attend a private nursing school for Fall 2014 term just to not waste anymore time, and then transfer my credits back to FSCJ nursing program, but is that even possible? I CANNOT waste anymore time, I'm willing to do anything.

Has anyone on here ever been in a similar situation? or has anyone transferred credits from a private nursing school to FSCJ?

So Far I completed:

A&PI- A

English I- B

Psych- A

Sociology- B

Human Growth- A

Hum2020- A

P.S Sorry for the rant guys, its that I'm upset because they **HAD** to change the application deadline on the term I wanted to get into -______-'

Try a private school. They normally start every 3 or 4 months. I doubt you can transfer the nursing classes. But try Keiser University they have really good pass rates. Or try St. John's community college.

You have to complete A&P II before applying to the program (you can apply while enrolled in Micro but won't be able to use those points). So if they have changed the dates it looks like you will have to wait if you want to go to FSCJ. I would encourage you, however, to call the nursing office because they've been talking about changing application dates for a while but have kept postponing the change. Fingers crossed this will be the case and you'll be able to apply for the semester you want.

Also, just a word of caution about private schools - while they do start more frequently than FSCJ there is a reason for that...they want your money! Oftentimes the credit for classes you take at a private school cannot transfer to a public school. So if you plan to continue on to your masters, etc. at a public school like UNF then your credits from a nursing program at a for-profit, private school may not be transferable. Make sure you do your research before choosing that route!!

i may be wrong but i think the application deadlines were postponed, again. It seems like someone in the Summer 2014 thread stated that. Like Lucy said, call the nursing dept before you get your hopes up, though.

You can start a thread for FSCJ Fall 2014 to get other hopefuls talking :)

Good luck.

I have also heard the dates did not change and are still June 1st. I have emailed ----------------------- with questions in the nursing dept, and she has been great.

I got freaked out too because a friend of mine had a nursing packet with one set of dates, and i had another with another set of dates. Their intent was to change them, and still may, but i don't think they have yet. I would def confirm though. Good luck!
