  1. How is the FCCJ/FSCJ RN program?

    misswhitney replied to ljonm's topic in Florida Nursing

    The terms are back to back. No breaks, except for Christmas and spring break. And I am talking about breaks in between semesters. My first term ended on a Thursday and second term started on a...

    misswhitney replied to FCCJFall2010Hopeful's topic in Florida Nursing

    When I applied for Summer '08, we got out letters on Feb. 21st, with a Feb. 1st

  3. FCCJ/FSCJ Fall 2010 Hopefuls

    misswhitney replied to FCCJFall2010Hopeful's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yeah, they always say the generic answer. My class had over 500 applicants and only 96 got in. (Summer '08) Our cut off was 183 I want to say and I know people with 178 that got in. People who...

  4. Can't get a job as new RN

    misswhitney replied to black_butterfly's topic in Florida Nursing

    yes, the new BSN's in my area are getting first picks over the ASN's. Plus, employees want to know what you did to better yourself while looking for a

    misswhitney replied to KTeacher2Nursing's topic in Florida Nursing

    We are so overly saturated with nursing students it is crazy. I sometimes get students, and even as a new nurse, I can tell what school they are from and how well they are going to be a nurse, just...

  6. RN-BSN Bridge Classes?/ Taking a Semester Off?

    misswhitney replied to CareerStudent's topic in Florida Nursing

    Call this number to check FSCJ's accreditation, (904) 713-6015. I am pretty sure they are as one of our house supervisors just graduated from there and one of my friends is in their program right now...

  7. How is the FCCJ/FSCJ RN program?

    misswhitney replied to ljonm's topic in Florida Nursing

    st because it becomes so ordinary? What was the 'first time' experience like? Ohhh I was so green my first semester, it was crazy. My teacher volunteered me for a blood draw and I just stared at her...

  8. FCSJ fka FCCJ-Points you had when you applied for Nursing

    misswhitney replied to patientlywaitinagain's topic in Florida Nursing

    I applied once, for Summer of 2008, got in 194.82 points. I think I had like only I want to say 100 points from the NAT or something like that. I only took it once, but I would suggest taking it at...

  9. FCCJ/FSCJ Fall 2010 Hopefuls

    misswhitney replied to FCCJFall2010Hopeful's topic in Florida Nursing

    When I did clinicals, I think the only places that had real issues with people who had been arrested were St. Vincent's. Everyone has to do Peds at Wolfson's so the program might deny you admission...

    We had people switch at orientation. And if you fail a class, you can be offered a position in the day program or the night program, wherever it is available. You have to take all four classes...

    I worked at Publix for 5 years which helped me to get one interview at St. Vincent's. Other than that, no. Best advice is to network and befriend everyone. A girl I went to school with actually got...

    misswhitney replied to mistimartin's topic in Florida Nursing

    All of the local hospitals have hired ADN nurses, including Flager (but they are really picky, the person I know that got hired there was very persistant). I just got hired at Specialty about 3 and a...

    misswhitney replied to nurseneptune_2010's topic in Florida Nursing

    I had gotten hired at two home health agencies with no experience and some of my friends are currently working in it now. I don't know about the law though, as I know of at least 3 home health...

    misswhitney replied to nurseneptune_2010's topic in Florida Nursing

    Specialty takes care of mine for me but I know a lot of nursing journals offer them and you can google them. The thing about it is they can have their pick of new grads so you have to stand out and...

  17. New grad RNs: Do you hate nursing already?

    misswhitney replied to OliveRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    My advice is to do med-surg. Med-Surg is a challenge. I think everyone should start out there. You should finish out your year (or even try to pursue another job now) and either do med-surg so you...

    misswhitney replied to nurseneptune_2010's topic in Florida Nursing

    Try home health. I know people who graduated with me in August who still have nothing and have to resort to being a home health nurse or a school nurse, etc. Do not limit your options to hospitals....

    I used my blood pressure cuff just for the 25 blood pressures you have to get. So just get a cheap one. Some professors require you bring it to clinicals though. You can always get one from FNSA...

    Your PPD is due every year, so that is why you have to show proof because it is due again.

  21. I need a job!

    misswhitney replied to goodstudentnowRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    I know behavioral clinics and home health were also ways some of my friends went. Its tough to get a job and with so many people going back to school, it is going to start getting tougher. Try...

  22. I need a job!

    misswhitney replied to goodstudentnowRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    It took me almost 5 months to get a job and I was lucky to get one in a hospital. I have friends who still don't have jobs that I graduated with, so just keep trying. It will happen eventually. Try...
