  1. Horrible Chem Professor...

    Yep, I'm at North Campus. Probably the same professor. You can tell he knows what he's talking about but he's so focused on making sure that no one gets left behind that the entire class is behind schedule. He's been focusing on making sure people...
  2. My school's program was written by a monkey

    Crazy, isn't it? Mine is the same way. Chemistry isn't a pre-req for the nursing course (i.e. it doesn't count toward the point system) but it is a requirement for Microbiology, so if you don't have a qualifying high school chemistry then you have ...
  3. Horrible Chem Professor...

    Thanks for the reply! I will need to pass the class in order to get into Micro. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that he's not going to try and lump all the chapters together towards the end of the semester and that I'll at least be able to stay...
  4. Horrible Chem Professor...

    I'm attending FSCJ and currently working towards finishing pre-reqs in the next year or so. Right now, I'm in a Chem class (have to take it in order to take Microbiology) and my professor is just terrible! We're 5 weeks into the class and over 3 ch...
  5. Faking Seizure in ER

    There's the link for The Medic and the Nursing Home... too funny!!
  6. Faking Seizure in ER

    I am dying laughing! I've been going through all the related videos and just cracking up!
  7. Nurse pay in Jacksonville?

    I know Shands and Baptist in Jax both have job posting listed up on their websites. Baptist doesn't have salary info, but Shands does if I remember correctly. I don't have the website names, but if you google them they are pretty easy to find.
  8. Whoo Hoo. I got in

    Congratulations!!
  9. FSCJ Changing Program of Study to Nursing

    That's a bummer that the Chem doesn't count, especially since you have to have it. Oh well. I've been thinking it over and I figure that I can do the day program as long as I can get childcare for my son. By the time I enter the program, my daugh...
  10. Anyone volunteering at a hospital?

    I'm actually looking into this now. A few of the local hospitals only take volunteers to work at the information desk and the gift shop, but I've found one that I know for sure allows you to volunteer shadowing a nurse or helping restock rooms.
  11. Anyone else applying for 2012?

    I know you posted this a while back, but I wanted you to know you aren't alone! I'm planning on applying for either the Spring 2012 or (with a little luck) the Fall 2011 ASN course. My husband is the primary bread winner, so I stay home to care for ...
  12. FSCJ Changing Program of Study to Nursing

    I picked up my nursing packet today, but didn't get a chance to talk to an advisor because I had my children with me. After looking it over and planning out my classes, I'm confident that I'll be able to apply for the Spring 2012 program. Wow... tha...
  13. Is wanting to help people a cliche answer

    Well, I haven't had to answer this question myself, but I would list a specific instance when you knew that nursing was for you. Did you have a great experience with a nurse at sometime? Witness an accident or see someone that was sick and wish you...
  14. FSCJ Changing Program of Study to Nursing

    I appreciate all your help! I'm going to stop by the campus hopefully tomorrow to pick up the nursing packet, so I'll grab a practice test while I'm there!
  15. FSCJ Changing Program of Study to Nursing

    I'm going to try and get into Chem for the summer semester and probably take Psych with it, or one of the other "easier" classes. Since it's going to take me longer to finish anyway, I figure I'll take only 1 difficult class at a time that way I can...
