FSW Fall 2015

I just registered for classes. Are you going to collier campus?

Yes, which hospital did you pick ?

I may create an "FSW Full Time" group on Facebook for those of you interested. I would like to get to know some of my future classmates for the next 2 years :)

Did you make a group for Lee Day yet?

I spoke with an adviser yesterday. I wanted to graduate with my AA since I have everything completed and would like something to show for the 4 years of part-time classes I've been taking. Since our registration status has changed I'm no longer grandfathered in on some new requirements such as 2 semesters of a foreign language. They added another humanities if I recall. It doesn't really matter since I'm pursuing my Bachelors degree but it would have been nice to have. Also I'd like to let people know Hamilton's in Port Charlotte has an entire rack of every possible FSW uniform configuration. You go in try them on then they order them and get a 25% discount. They said they've been hearing some instructors are telling students to order them online if you do that you DON'T get the 25% discount!

So far where has been the most affordable place to get the immunizations?

Sam, sounds like we have a similar situation.

When I run a degree evaluation it days "YES" in all columns for graduation for my AA. They have that as my first major and nursing as my second.

I'm wondering if they will allow me to apply for graduation with my AA.

FOR THOSE LOOKING TO APPLY FOR AA!! Please talk to advising and financial aid before you apply! I applied for mine got my AA but now my financial aid is messed up bc it looks like I have a degree and am leaving school when I have two more years left to go! Just make sure it's worth it for you and that you won't get less funds for school because of it.

I just spoke with the financial aid office. She said I'm good to go with graduating because I have a primary and secondary degree. She said once I graduate from my AA nursing with just turn into my primary. She said you want to make sure you're already registered for both so that it does not mess anything up. She also said having to associates degrees doesn't Ness with your aid, only if you're trying to get 2 if the same degree. As long as it's AA and AS you're good.

I agree, you are taking financial risks with applying for graduation with an AA.

Not even sure if I'm going to do it until I absolutely have too. (When they say I'm no longer making academic progress)

From what I understand,for financial aid purposes,they extend those benefits to the bachelors degree. I may be wrong.

I agree, but when I got accepted into the program they changed my major from Pre-Nursing to Non-degree seeking, so some people may get into trouble. It just helps to make r the call and know for sure

Do we need the varicella titer if you have had chicken pox ? And do we need both hep A sessions before aug or is one fine ? and what's the anti-has titer for so confused 😭😭

Oh and the color vision test ..???

Okay so I haven't been on in a while I apologize if I'm repeating something everyone knows. I ran my degree evaluation and realized that statistics and the writing intensive humanities is now required. I went to advising on the Collier Campus. The advisor there told me he thought it was for next Spring applicants but when he called the nursing office he was told that because our class is considered part of the new catalog that yes, it will be required for us to get our AS.
