I thought it would be a good idea to make a thread about reasons why we want to be nurses. That way when we're struggling in our pre-reqs (especially those of us just starting out who have no idea what to expect) and wondering if we can handle everyt...

I took the NAT today and it was soooooo stressful (the time constraints and whatnot) but I passed! I got 99th percentile on academic aptitude, 96th on reading comprehension, and 91st on natural sciences!!!!!! Anyway, just wanted to let everyone kn...

Anyone else planning on applying to FCCJ's nursing program for Fall '09? I figured we might as well start a "support group" thread of sorts for those of us who are. Never too early to start, right?

Okay... so I totally hijacked the Spring 09 hopefuls thread. But, it was a good idea. This thread is for those of us that are aiming to start NS in Fall 09. Hopefully, we can keep this thread alive over the next year through all the craziness of pr...

Pre-nursing students who complain about having to take A&P! I understand it's a lot of work and can be very challenging due to the large scope of information we have to know in a limited amount of time. But people that say things like "This stu...

i definitely agree. you absolutely have to love a certain aspect of nursing. i understand that some people rely on just their passion for nursing to get them through the pre-reqs, not their passion for science. i think that is a good thing. but f...

Lol. I was not saying that people should be EXCITED for A&P, but if they can't tolerate taking the class, I don't understand why they would want to be a nurse. That's all I'm saying. I definitely understand getting grossed out by things and ge...

First off I just want to say a big CONGRATS to everyone who got in for Fall!!!!!! You guys must be SO thrilled! I am applying for Fall 2009 as well, but I will not know if I am accepted until July! Those of you who will not know until March, I a...

I agree that rudeness is the norm these days. If you think that's bad, you will never believe what happened in my Chemistry class. Someone fell asleep AND STARTED SNORING really loudly in class! It was sooooo awkward! The rest of us were trying to a...

Yay! I'm not alone! :yeah:Haha. Sorry it took me so long to reply... I just remembered I made this thread. I am currently taking A&P2, Micro, Psych, and Human Growth. Those are the only other pre-reqs I need so I will be taking the Summer of...

I am taking: Anatomy & Physiology II w/ lab General Psychology Microbiology w/ lab Human Growth and Development I :heartbeat all my classes!!!!!

Thanks so much you guys!

Okay, I have to tell you I always thought it was so odd for people to say they "passed" an aptitude test and vowed to never use the term myself. But when I took it I thought "What else am I gonna say?" I mean "passed" is shorter than "got a really h...

first of all, thank you so much for the advice. especially about just guessing if you don't know, that helped on the reading comprehension part a lot. to me, that was the section that was the most pressed for time. i was in the 99th percentile for...

thanks! are you trying to get in fall '09 too? is the nat super hard? lol. i'm veeeeery anxious. good luck to you as well! i85.5 points is pretty solid, you should be okay.

So yesterday I was talking to a good friend of mine, also doing pre-reqs. She's not in school this semester for a number of reasons. Basically, she has had a really rough year academically. She was counting up how many classes she has left to take...

I'm not a waiter yet but I will be this Summer! Just wanted to pop in and tell everyone GOOD LUCK! I know you guys can do it. :wink2:

Thanks for the info. I take the NAT tomorrow... I'm so nervous! :chuckle It's my first time taking it. At least I will have some idea of about how many points I will have for that. Some girl also told me they aren't allowing the up to 20 points f...

Okay, just to clarify... are they going to give preference to Duval and Nassau students every semester and they are just starting that this summer? If so that's awesome for me. I live in Duval. I heard a lot of people from Clay apply to both FCCJ a...

Count me in! I started Thursday. I'm worried but excited. Our entire grade is based on 3 tests and a final. Eek! Oh well. I will make it through. Really hoping for an A, but will take a B too lol.

I started A&P 2 this Monday! First lab is next Monday and first test (blood) is Wednesday. I am so very excited! I made a B (almost an A! like two points away!) in A&P 1 and I have the same teacher. Everyone agrees at my school that A&...

Count me in!!! I start tonight. Praying for an A!!!! Taking it with A&P 2, Psych, and Human Growth.

Hi everyone! I'm a little late but I'll still join if that's okay. I'm taking A&P 2. I started January 5th. I made a B (so close to an A!!!) in A&P 1 and at my school A&P 2 is considered to be easier than A&P 1 so hopefully I will...

I don't even start nusing school until next year, but this is just something I was wondering about. Are most hospitals moving towards having dress codes? As in, all staff members on a certain floor or in a certain department have to wear solid scru...

Waiting4school, you said you were accepted with a 2.9 gpa but 4.0 in pre-reqs? Just wondering, and you may not know the answer, but did you know lots of students in that situation? I have around a 2.9 collectively, not just from the past two years ...
