  1. Titers Questions...all of them...fccj...

    squirtle replied to look-4-miracles's topic in Florida Nursing

    You just need to show them that everything is in process.... I would sign off on the Hep B declination though to make that part a little easier. You can go ahead with the vaccine series, but paper...

  2. NAT Test at FCCJ is Unfair

    squirtle replied to lovefordogs's topic in General Nursing

    A calculator is not allowed on the NAT and if they utilized access to a calculator then they were cheating. It is unfair to everyone else when people cheat but you really can't spend your time...

  3. 12 hour shifts for students AND Med. school

    squirtle replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    My first thoughts are that you are assigned a patient to be under your care while you are in clinicals. The first couple of hours in the shift are very important... morning assessments, meds, building...

    squirtle posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I had trouble understanding blood pressure in term one of the nursing program, and ovbiously it is something I need to understand! Does anyone know of a good web site where I can read exactly how the...

  5. Does being a CNA really help if you want to become a nurse?

    squirtle replied to pumpkin1984's topic in General Nursing

    I am finishing up my second term (of four) in an ADN program. I am beginning a job as a tech this week. From spending time in the hospital during clinicals, I thought I could gain much knowledge from...

  6. Drug Card Help

    squirtle replied to grenda12's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I bought the Davis drug guide which included a cd-rom. On the cd was a program to install that allows you to search for a drug and then it gives you all of the information. I used that info to copy...

  7. Held Down and Forced to Take The FLu Shot

    squirtle replied to Nurse_FF_EMT's topic in General Nursing

    I just read this whole thread and the first thought that entered my head was that maybe the OP's mom exaggerated things a bit... maybe the people in the facility weren't actually being held down...

  8. Job Search Info

    squirtle replied to MikeinFl's topic in Florida Nursing

    Mike, we spoke to a nurse recruiter at Baptist and she suggested that we start applying two months before we graduate. She said not to apply sooner than that because your application and resume will...

  9. I am New and have lots to ask...

    squirtle replied to cshells's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if it is the same everywhere, but W's are not even looked at here with regard to your GPA. I was told by my counselor that they don't pay a lot of attention to them these days because of...

  11. RN/BSN FCCJ,UNF Help!

    squirtle replied to koda53's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't think this is necessarily true for everyone. It depends on where you are at this point. I applied to both FCCJ and UNF. When it was all said and done I would have only had to spend an extra...

  12. FCCJ Fall 2007 letters are out!

    squirtle replied to miss rochelle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For the most part, your Assessment book will include a review of the anatomy related material you need for each section. Personally, I would work on the medical terminology if you haven't taken the...

  13. FCCJ Fall 2007 letters are out!

    squirtle replied to miss rochelle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I remember correctly, the schedule I chose began on a Tuesday. Mondays are exam days and they utilized what would normally be exam time that day to give us a dosage calc class, so it was the day...

  14. FCCJ Fall 2007 letters are out!

    squirtle replied to miss rochelle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    squirtle replied to miss rochelle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. FCCJ schedule

    squirtle replied to np_wannabe's topic in Florida Nursing

  19. FCCJ "cut off" points

    squirtle replied to miss rochelle's topic in Florida Nursing

    Summer may be a little higher than the other terms because they let in fewer students. I am sure you will be fine. Good luck and make sure you keep us updated!

  20. FCCJ "cut off" points

    squirtle replied to miss rochelle's topic in Florida Nursing

    I am in my first term at FCCJ. I believe our cut off (Summer 07) was 183, the cut off for Fall of 07 was

  21. FCCJ Point System

    squirtle replied to Beforewedie's topic in Florida Nursing

    At orientation there will be a "lottery" system in place to work out the schedules. Unfortunately, there is no way to know what your schedule will be for the day program until then. I am antsy to find...

  22. How would you handle this?

    squirtle replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  23. Academic Aptitude Test

    squirtle replied to 12breakfree's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  24. Any FCCJ RN Summer Start Applicants???

    squirtle replied to elby812's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
