FSW Fall 2015

Published

Florida Southwestern State College formerly Edison State College. I started thread for FSW but it is full with spring applicants. So I decided to start a new one for this upcoming fall.

Who is joining me next fall in nursing?

I plan to apply for Part-time or Lee full time. I have one more semester of pre-requisites. I am taking A&P 1, Micro, College Algebra and Nutrition. Kill me now. :arghh: lol A full time semester of craziness but almost done after that hopefully with pre-requisites with the exemption of A&P 2 and a humanities class.

I plan to take the Hesi in mid Feb or march and retake if needed at the end of April. Schedule has been posted and I plan to study a lot this winter break. So excited but so nervous.

So it appears that we will be in the classroom for the first several weeks and then we will be doing clinical at a Nursing Home for a few weeks after that, before we get to do clinical at the hospital.

I'm organizing my planner too! I really liked this video on youtube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5cXCzEtBxc] by iheartnursing. Her planner is very organized and she also shows you how to make your own stickers for it. I made a bunch of clinical stickers, test/quiz stickers... Each class is color coded so you don't have to write as much info.

Specializes in Cardiac PCU/Med-Telemetry.

Lmao great minds think alike. I saw that video today and I am also making my own stickers. Lmao

A fellow planner addict!

Oh just of curiosity. I got an email saying about attire and I saw we need long socks to our calf. Are we required to have long socks?

Do we have to ?? I saw that too is it for lab or clinicals?

No idea Pockets, I dont own long socks so the first lab day I am wearing white socks.

I wasn't able to take the CPR class until the 8th. Hopefully it will be fine being a day late :/

Im sure it will be fine. You dont really need it until you start clinicals.

Maybe collier is behind, but I haven't received any syllabus yet. Where is everyone looking?Has anyone else going to collier campus received one?

HI Cjones003, I have not received anything.

I sent a conversation to Barbara Ward, MSN-Ed, RN,CCRN regarding this Attestation form folks have been talking about. (i didn't receive) I am unsure if Edna is still helping the Nursing Dept. So I have just used the conversation module in the NUC 1000 as instructed.

I asked if they will even look at Certified Profile for the medical records since no update.

Collier is really behind I believe. Hope to hear something tomorrow before i head to campus. The last time i went there there wasn't anyone there. But, I want to ask about all the things that we are missing, like Orientation and syllabus for each class. :wideyed:

Just curious, did everyone pay their tuition already?

There's still no orientation or place to upload our shot records right ?

There is still no orientation but last I heard, we SHOULD recieving sometime before Friday. We will see...

Oh, and they are working compliance tracker but for the meantime, I downloaded it under medical records.
