1. FAU Accelerated BSN May 2010

   JJV04C replied to SFloridaRN2010's topic in Florida

   I've lived in South Florida but I don't know much about Boca specifically. I've been searching craigslist.com for apartments. From what I know, Boca in general is nice, but a bit on the more expensive side. Coral Springs/Deerfield/Pompano can be a bi...

   I'm starting an accelerated BSN program in the summer and I LOVE reading allnurses...I would definitely love to read a blog about your personal experiences, advice, etc! As far as ideas - really anything you wish someone had told you when you were fi...

   JJV04C replied to SFloridaRN2010's topic in Florida

   I received my physical acceptance letter in the mail today, and I was expecting it to be a packet containing information about orientation, books, registering for classes, etc, but it was basically a copy of the email that I received last week. Am I ...

   JJV04C replied to SFloridaRN2010's topic in Florida

   Thanks! I received an email, haven't checked the mail yet. There wasn't much information other than Congratulations you've been accepted. From their website I found that you have to get 2 background checks (one you can do online and one you have to p...

7. FAU Accelerated BSN May 2010

   I also spoke with FAU this morning before I saw this post - they said they will be sending out both letters and emails starting this week but they will not get to everyone until all the way through the second week of March. Hopefully we're all in the...

8. FAU Accelerated BSN May 2010

   JJV04C replied to SFloridaRN2010's topic in Florida

   I am also anxiously waiting! I read a thread some time ago from last year, and it was around Feb 20 that people started hearing. It does say on the FAU website that they have until March 31 to let us know, but I'm hoping it's MUCH sooner rather than ...

   As far as I could tell they only admit in May. They are looking for Math, Grammar, Vocab and Reading Comp HESI scores.

10. Getting a BSN but have BA in Business ???

    JJV04C replied to jam911's topic in Florida

    http://nursing.fau.edu/index.php?main=2&nav=382 Check out that link; it's for their ABSN. It says on there that for the porgram starting in May 2010 you have to complete pre-reqs by May 1 2010; maybe you looked at the general BSN track. Good luck...

11. Getting a BSN but have BA in Business ???

    JJV04C replied to jam911's topic in Florida

    One thing about FAU's program (this may not be true of other BSN programs) is that you can apply without having finished your pre-reqs. The program starts in May of each year, and it says on their website you have to have finished all pre-reqs by the...

12. Getting a BSN but have BA in Business ???

    JJV04C replied to jam911's topic in Florida

    I guess that just depends on the individual. I don't think these programs are for everyone; just an option. For me personally, finishing with my BSN earlier so I can continue into my masters program is important and I know that I can handle the accel...

13. Getting a BSN but have BA in Business ???

    JJV04C replied to jam911's topic in Florida

    There are some great Accelerated BSN programs for students who have a Bachelors in another area; FAU, Barry and Nova I believe all have that type of program. I am applying to FAU Accelerated BSN in May 2010 (I have a degree in Finance and Italian), t...

14. HESI Test at FSU

    JJV04C replied to JJV04C's topic in Florida

    I used the Evolve Hesi Admissions Test Prep book and the Barrons Nursing Entrance Exam Test Prep. For me, the best way to go about it was to pretty much memorize all the material in the books, and then take the practice tests and for every question (...

15. FAU Accelerated BSN 2010 - questions

    JJV04C replied to SFloridaRN2010's topic in Florida

    I actually called the College of Nursing on Thursday. We will be hearing after November 30 (they said probably in the first 2 weeks of December or in the beginning of January) if we are missing any transcripts. So if your transcripts haven't arrived ...
