   FSCJ Spring 2020 Nursing Applicants

   cabrerakm replied to Danielle1904's topic in School Programs

   So this is something I can actual speak to from experience also. The application has the required prerequisites to be considered in bold (micro, AP 1 & 2, and chem). The other classes listed are not a requirement for acceptance but are additional...

   FSCJ Spring 2020 Nursing Applicants

   cabrerakm replied to Danielle1904's topic in School Programs

   I know people who have done that, but just make sure you pull up their accreditation status on the FL BON first. Make sure that they aren’t probationary and have full accreditation and then keep an eye on NCLEX passing rates. If all checks out, then ...

   Can’t pass the NCLEX

   cabrerakm replied to Kmmamea's topic in NCLEX

   I have to also agree here. I was not a strong student through nursing school simply because I couldn't grasp HOW to take the tests. I understood the content to a point but would get too hung up on the facts and not what it was actually asking for. OV...

   FSCJ Spring 2020 Nursing Applicants

   cabrerakm replied to Danielle1904's topic in School Programs

   That is correct. For when my cohort was going through acceptances, there were only 2 or 3 people that received an acceptance letter after being placed on the waiting list. The list is then cleared. Points are EVERYTHING to get into this program so if...

   FSCJ Fall 2018

   cabrerakm replied to captaincorningware's topic in School Programs

   @Jess.W Thank you! And as far as I am aware, there were a few that applied the first time when I had applied and didn't make the points cutoff but that reapplied and made it either the term after or the one after that. The unfortunate part is that it...

   FSCJ Fall 2018

   cabrerakm replied to captaincorningware's topic in School Programs

   @Jess.W I see that they updated the application since I had applied. It used to be where you were required to have completed the 5 classes in bold on the application and the ones not in bold would not keep you from being considered but you just would...

   cabrerakm replied to captaincorningware's topic in School Programs

   Should not be an issue. The acceptance points for my term was like 135 and it was that way for the term prior to mine also. Great job on your HESI!

   cabrerakm replied to Brittiany's topic in School Programs

   I was the same way. After your acceptance letter, they first initially send you the information to get your background check, drug test, and fingerprinting done. They gave us a month to turn that in. It cost about $110 for all 3 of those. Once those ...

    You're right in line with what I had when I was accepted for Spring! :) I had 139. Would have been higher but I hadn't completed Human Growth yet. Taking that during Term 1 now. Great job and good luck!!

    Just remember to breathe! The HESI is in 9 sections but you can take them in any order you want. So get your best subjects out of the way first if you can, then you take your time on the remaining sections. I never actually used a HESI prep book, onl...

    Is it possible to finish prerequiste in 2 years ?

    cabrerakm replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I think I got really lucky with my school but I was also limited because of my military benefits. I was following an Allied Health degree plan because all of the prerequisites were in that degree plan and I was taking between 6-8 classes every semest...

    Application is submitted through email with your CPR card copy and a copy of HESI transcript only if you took the test somewhere other than FSCJ. Official transcripts have to be sent so emailing them won't count as official. Be warned though..they se...

    Cutoff for Spring was 135.167 Schedule actually isn't too bad. You have 2 classes per Term but they are taken one at a time in 7 week blocks. For us, there were 2 different types of schedules. The 2 schedules were in these blocks: Tues - Lecture and ...

    Titers are required for Hep B (unless you sign declination form), Varicella, and MMR. You're also required to have a negative PPD along with current Flu vaccine and TDAP vaccine (unless you have had TD vaccine within the last 10 years).
