FSCJ Summer 2017 Hopefuls

[FutureNurseDev86]

I wanted to create a new thread for Summer 2017 hopefuls (it seems far away, but it will be here before we know it).

I am very excited to start this journey, but I have to finish a few more prereqs. I am wanting to buy a HESI A2 study book, but I am not sure which one to go with. Does anyone have any suggestions? I saw on one thread where a lady swore by Elsevier, but I want to make sure that is a good one before I buy it. Thanks in advance.

Woot Woot I got in but I'm not sure about my points. For those that didn't get in, don't give up b/c there will be a lot more seats in the fall. Congrats to all those that made it. I haven't noticed anything about selecting day or night classes.

[MarkVir]

The cutoff point is 221? I'm lucky I managed to get in with 220 points unless my calculations are wrong.

[elizabethh1992]

If you didn't ask for nights you will be put in days. Once everyone accepts their seat they will see how many people wanted nights and if there's too many it will be a lottery. Finally got an answer on that.

I contacted Mrs. Deaton she tild me the cutoff was 221, i had 217.8 points, she said there were 19 people ahead of me that were right below 221. She also said that 10 people are on the waiting list for people to decline the acceptance. She said if you get a decline email then you aren't on the waiting list. But those of you who haven't gotten one may be on the waiting list.

I got my denial and told to attend an information session. There is always hope. Sometimes some students decline their seats and sometimes they accept and get in the Program and drop out within the first week. It could be family or financial issues. Most

students who are successful quit their jobs. There are well over $500 worth of expenses not covered by financial aid just to get

started such as lab tests, uniforms, drug tests ect for all allied type programs, so if you accept an alternate seat, just be ready to

get this done last minute even the first week of class when so many drop out. Good luck to the Summer Hopefuls who accepted

the seats, you guys worked hard and you totally earned your place... Congratulations on the coveted spot.

[hlaskowsky, BSN]

I wonder how many drop their seats? And will they go into the denial list if it's longer than the 10 person wait list?

[SurgNursKeli]

Sometimes so many students drop out that even there aren't enough alternates, so the dean will go down the list and admit the students with the next best scores. I just remember another 10 years have gone by and I am due for a Tetorifice shot. I already had a flu shot. I have all of my old titers.

For those that did not get accepted to the summer term, I have created a facebook page for the nursing applicants for the fall 2017 term. This will help us as students to stay connected and network with one another. You can join the page here.
