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.

Specializes in Family practice, Orthopaedics.

Speaking of financial aid, did anyone apply for the scholarship fund and get a response? I applied in April before the deadline but I haven't heard anything.

Specializes in Geriatrics, Mental Health, Community.

I applied also but haven't heard anything back either

Oh wow. Good thing we all are already in. I hope they reply to us soon. The suspense is just overwhelming.

I asked the "heads" today about the finger print incomplete on the website. Told her that Daon replied they sent in the info on wednesday. She said that once the deadline passes (today) ppl who did not registar will be dropped and the open seats will be given to alternates. So i asked if we are waiting on another committee meeting or if i came negitive with everything (passed all requirments) am i good? She said yes. They will meet starting tomorrow to look through each persons profile, once they look and confirm you are good, they will send us an email to start watching for the acceptance packet in yhe mail (postal) that will have all our info in regards to Physical, CPR, scrubs, etc. However, she does not expect any of us to get that email for a week to two weeks (thats he goal she said). But again, if you passed all 3 things, then you are good! We made it!!!

Yay!! I was negative on both so I'm good :) also the AA thing Doesent sound like its bad, but I guess if you want to do nursing you won't get financial aid because of the prereqs and SAP requirements.

So even though they will be looking at the submissions tomorrow they won't let us know for a week? I just want the official, "yes, you're in" message!

Lol, nope...its gonna take them a bit to get through them

Ugh! Haha, well we're gonna have to hang in there then :)

If your tests are negative then there's nothing to worry about

How long did it take to get your drug test results? I took mine today and I just hope the results are in before they meet and I have all of my things completed and submitted to them.

Does it matter if i never was "pre nursing"?

Lol, tori. I want the official letter, too. But it doesnt matter much since we are in if everything was fine with drug test and fingerprints.

Exactly!! But its not the same to hear the words considered vs officially a nursing student at FSW. Lol.

Plus, some of us... raises hand, likes to have complete control of everything and if it were to me, I would register for CPR and all medical forms completed already. It stresses me out to have things pending even if its not in my control. Lmao

I took mine in the afternoon and in the next morning my results were in.

I dont think it matters if you were or not. Once we are officially accepted then we will be changed to nursing degree regardless so this doesnt affect us.
