1. FCCJ/FSCJ Fall 2010 Hopefuls

   Tikichic11 replied to FCCJFall2010Hopeful's topic in Florida

   I'm going to apply at the end of this term, so around May 1 so that I'll have my APII and Socio done. One thing that I was unsure about...I know that we have to submit our test score hard copies, but do we also need to submit a hard copy of our tran...

   Thanks so much for answering that. Went ahead and scheduled my retake. Best of luck to anyone else that might be testing in the next month or so!

3. FCCJ/FSCJ Fall 2010 Hopefuls

   Tikichic11 replied to FCCJFall2010Hopeful's topic in Florida

   I've emailed nursing at FSCJ but haven't gotten a response and I'm a bit antsy. Hoping one of you can help. If you take the NAT 2 times, will they take your highest scores (Acad from Dec, Reading from Dec and Sci from March) on a mix and match or ...

4. FCCJ/FSCJ Fall 2010 Hopefuls

   Tikichic11 replied to FCCJFall2010Hopeful's topic in Florida

   New to this group. Glad I found y'all. Taking APII and Intro Socio this term. Last classes I need. Will be applying for Fall 2010. Hoping to have 102 points from grades at the end of this term (a few grades from years ago weren't the best). Too...

5. FCCJ/FSCJ Fall 2010 Hopefuls

   Tikichic11 replied to FCCJFall2010Hopeful's topic in Florida

   I was told that they count CLEP as a "C" grade so you'd only get 2 points for it. That's why I decided to take the actual classes.

6. Quit my job for School?

   Tikichic11 replied to LPNDebbie's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Pell Grant is need based aid and b/c of your previous salary I don't know if you'd qualify. You need to still submit a FAFSA...it's free and relatively painless to do. Based on that info, they will see what you qualify for. Some might be loans lik...

7. Espanol?

   Tikichic11 replied to Anxious In NE's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think a lot of the terminology that you might need you could easily just get from a vocab book. When I took a class (as an independent study) it was all vocab.

8. Question about IVF clinic job

   Tikichic11 replied to bailey27's topic in Career Support

   Did they confirm the M-F standard hours? I know when I was a patient at a clinic, they did egg retrievals on weekends, holidays, etc and there was always a nurse present.

9. Other second career students?

   Tikichic11 replied to JBMmom's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Second career gal here too! Undergrad in bio with the plan to go to chiro school but got burnt out at end of undergrad and didn't do it. Went to work in higher edu. Got 2 advanced degrees in edu. Still working in higher edu after 14 years. No fu...

10. I need to write a petition to my school - what are they looking for in this petition?

    Tikichic11 replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    If there were any extenuating circumstances, then they will want to know that as well. Keep it short, sweet and to the point. Appeals committees don't like to hear excuses but do like action plans.

11. NAT scores and FSCJ

    Tikichic11 replied to Tikichic11's topic in Florida

    Sorry...just got around to reading your response. I just posted this reply on another thread so thought I'd share with you... I just took the exam 2 weeks ago. Did the practice exam from the website. Scored well on it. Most challenging part for me w...

12. What are "points" for nursing school?

    Tikichic11 replied to undecidedmajor's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm taking APII online in the Spring at FSCJ.

13. PSB exam...NE1 ever take it?

    Tikichic11 replied to AsEpSiS's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I just took the exam 2 weeks ago. Did the practice exam from the website. Scored well on it. Most challenging part for me was the spelling on the actual test--was harder than the practice test. Pay attention to your exam section times because you...

14. Am I wasting my time applying to these colleges?

    Tikichic11 replied to TeeGuneys23's topic in General Nursing

    Have you thought about taking the ACT instead of the SAT? Find out what the schools require for that. Personally, I did sooo much better on the ACT since it is broken down into 4 sections: Reading, math, verbal and sci reasoning. Quite a few CC'...

15. FCCJ/FSCJ Day vs Night/Weekend ?

    Tikichic11 replied to Tikichic11's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks for that response...will probably mark both and just "roll the dice" on the acceptance to nights and weekends.
