Anyone taken the HESI test at FSU or anywhere else where they require the science sections? I'm taking it this Friday and looking for any last minute tips! I saw some other threads about this subject with some links, which no longer work. Any advice ...

I've lived in South Florida but I don't know much about Boca specifically. I've been searching craigslist.com for apartments. From what I know, Boca in general is nice, but a bit on the more expensive side. Coral Springs/Deerfield/Pompano can be a bi...

I'm starting an accelerated BSN program in the summer and I LOVE reading allnurses...I would definitely love to read a blog about your personal experiences, advice, etc! As far as ideas - really anything you wish someone had told you when you were fi...

I received my physical acceptance letter in the mail today, and I was expecting it to be a packet containing information about orientation, books, registering for classes, etc, but it was basically a copy of the email that I received last week. Am I ...

Congratulations!! Can't wait to meet you!

Thanks! I received an email, haven't checked the mail yet. There wasn't much information other than Congratulations you've been accepted. From their website I found that you have to get 2 background checks (one you can do online and one you have to p...

Great news! Just got my acceptance letter! I'm so excited I'm shaking! I hope to meet you all very soon!

I also spoke with FAU this morning before I saw this post - they said they will be sending out both letters and emails starting this week but they will not get to everyone until all the way through the second week of March. Hopefully we're all in the...

I am also anxiously waiting! I read a thread some time ago from last year, and it was around Feb 20 that people started hearing. It does say on the FAU website that they have until March 31 to let us know, but I'm hoping it's MUCH sooner rather than ...

As far as I could tell they only admit in May. They are looking for Math, Grammar, Vocab and Reading Comp HESI scores.

http://nursing.fau.edu/index.php?main=2&nav=382 Check out that link; it's for their ABSN. It says on there that for the porgram starting in May 2010 you have to complete pre-reqs by May 1 2010; maybe you looked at the general BSN track. Good luck...

One thing about FAU's program (this may not be true of other BSN programs) is that you can apply without having finished your pre-reqs. The program starts in May of each year, and it says on their website you have to have finished all pre-reqs by the...

I guess that just depends on the individual. I don't think these programs are for everyone; just an option. For me personally, finishing with my BSN earlier so I can continue into my masters program is important and I know that I can handle the accel...

There are some great Accelerated BSN programs for students who have a Bachelors in another area; FAU, Barry and Nova I believe all have that type of program. I am applying to FAU Accelerated BSN in May 2010 (I have a degree in Finance and Italian), t...

I used the Evolve Hesi Admissions Test Prep book and the Barrons Nursing Entrance Exam Test Prep. For me, the best way to go about it was to pretty much memorize all the material in the books, and then take the practice tests and for every question (...

I actually called the College of Nursing on Thursday. We will be hearing after November 30 (they said probably in the first 2 weeks of December or in the beginning of January) if we are missing any transcripts. So if your transcripts haven't arrived ...

Mine also average out to 94%. I would think 3.7 GPA is still competitive, given that they can only go off of those 2 items. I know they list the minimums on the website but I wish they published the average GPA and HESI scores of students they accept...

I'm pretty sure you can still apply. The application deadline is November 30. I took my HESI at another school and sent my scores. You just have to get it approved with the testing center at FAU first.

Hey! I also applied for May 2010 at FAU. I have heard the same things as the above posters about admissions reqs...just grades and HESI scores. I did read on a post from last year that we might hear in February, but still, that's too long to wait! Go...

The best way I have found to study for A/P is to type my notes up immediately after class (or as soon as possible) that way you are reviewing it and keeping it fresh in your mind. As for this first test, it will probably take you a while but you migh...

Thanks, good luck to you too!

I actually did end up doing well! I am applying to FAU for Summer 2010 and USF for Fall 2010 for the accelerated BSN programs...and if for some reason (my fiance's job or financial reasons) I end up staying in Tallahasee then I'll apply to FSU for Sp...

I posted this one on another forum but it's a really good one: http://faculty.tcc.fl.edu/scma/beregowr/index.htm This one is really good as well, it has practice quizzes on it: http://sites.google.com/a/tcc.fl.edu/phillipteagarden/physiology-tutorial...

Some schools even offer the science courses (at least the lecture portions) online. I took Chemistry online this past summer. Check with any community colleges in your area! That way you can still stay somewhat on track!
