Does anyone know anything about this? I just got into their ABSN program, and it looks like we are scheduled to be at the Nursing Resource Center for 2 hours per day, 3X per week. I'm assuming it's to learn skills and so forth, but 6 hours per week...

thanks, annfaith. i've just started doing study sessions of application because that's where i continue to do the worst on my practice tests. thank you for confirming what i'm doing.

hey folks! getting ready to take the nclex so i'm studying and taking the practice tests in the saunders book. just wondering... for you guys that used saunders, what kind of scores were you getting on your practice tests before passing the ncle...

nights_nursy~ just wanted to double check... did you average 60% on saunders and still pass nclex? thank you all so much for replying! this is really helpful!

Hey all. I know that if you Fall 1st semesters have not gone to orientation yet, you will be going soon. Do you know what your schedule will be? Just curious. I'm applying for January and should get in, so I'm am considering day program vs. night/...

This is true. I'm a first term RN student, and the BSN is an RN to BSN bridge with priority given to FCCJ grads. You have to have 2000 hours (one year of FT work) before getting in.

They always say that. I'm a term one student and got my letter about 3 weeks after the due date. Good Luck!!!

Maybe FCCJ is switching to the TEAS? YOu may want to look into it just to double check, but I'm a first term nursing student and needed that NAT

FCCJ does not require it. Just the NAT.

Hi Everybody. I'm new to this board, but it seems that there are a lot of older/returning students here. Just out of curiousity, how old are you and where are you in life??? I'm 33 and a SAHM to two children: dd(3), and ds(1). I'm hoping to get int...

I think the summer schedule is posted in march.

I, personally, would be very concerned about the low nclex scores. i realize that one can study independently, but i would have to wonder how thoroughly they are teaching their student nurses...not so much so that i can pass the exam, but how prepa...

are you asking about the schedule for NS or the prereqs?

Sorry if this post is a little superfluous, but I have to ask... I'm having a hard time keeping track of the night/weekend January '08 folks. Where are ya'll? There are only 24 of us in nights/weekends, but it seems like there are quite a few of u...

i got my steth from allheart.com. i think they have bp cuffs too, but i'm not sure.

Hello. I just got in to the program myself, starting nights & weekends in January. The cutoff is usually 181 to 183 points, so you are close. It's a good idea to re-take the NAT, just to be on the safe side. Just know that you have to wait 90...

kertz81~ I just thought of a question. Since you work full-time and I'm at home with littles all day, I imagine that neither of us will do/did a lot of studying during the daytime hours. So, if you work during the day, and are in school nights &...

WOW! You work full time?!? AND maintain A's and B's?!? :bowingpur:bowingpur:bowingpur

Thank you Kertz. That was really helpful. I, for one, am getting nervous about juggling everything that I'mgoing to have to do. I appreciate the advice and information.

I was a mental health therapist, turned corporate trainer, turned SAHM. I'll be starting NS in January.

I just got back from hand-delivering my application for the night/weekend track starting in January '08, and submitted my application with 217.2 points! Woo Hoo! I feel pretty good about this! Okay....just had to get that out.

I think we have already answered your question the first three times you have asked--in the last week. Would you prefer a different response this time? :angryfire

A friend of mine went through JU's ABSN program and said it was costing her $25,000--if that's a consideration for you.

I'll be starting FCCJ's night & weekend program in January. Are you looking for a school? St Johns River Comm College has an RN program. It's 5 semesters, day classes only. It didn't look that difficult to get into when I inquired about it. ...

A couple of ideas, possibly: 1) it may be a little more expensive, but maybe you could find someone come to your house? Someone with experience (maybe a mother of an adult child who has been in your shoes?). You would have great peace of mind knowin...
