Hi everyone, I just want to post some news, which may be good or may not be, depending on typical HESI entrance exam scores. I got a 94% overall. I hope this gives me an edge of some sort, because although my GPA is good ( 3.7 avg.) my resume looks ...

I too was at the meeting last week. I thought they would at least have punch and cookies, LOL. and find it hard to believe that it will take 100 hours to earn a C. If we can read fast, take smart notes, and know how to manage time, we should be ab...

I thought I heard that you can only take the online program in the Fall ... they don't offer it in May. I could be wrong, though.

Ostlouis -- it absolutely sounds like it was Micro, then. Future applicants reading this thread-- be forwarned! Do you now have to take the HESI in order to apply for August? If so, I took it for FAU and it was really easy. You should nail it. And ...

Here is what the site says: "In the event of a tie, students will be given one (1) point for the completion of each college-level, general education course that is required toward the Associate in Science Degree for the Nursing Program. In the event ...

I was thinking the same thing. Why me and not you? I wonder if they go off of "tie breaker" flow chart thingy on the nursing web page. Maybe it was the Micro grade or something. Do you think they consider race/age/gender in any way to round thin...

I got in as an alternate with twelve points. I wonder if all 90 people ahead of me will keep their spots.....if not I may be fine. I can't believe 12 points wasn't enough to get it. Last semester, people with EIGHT points were alternates. Did the...

IMO -- he should NEVER lie, especially about something to do with a future career. Not good advice. You gotta stay on the high road, no matter how much you want something.

I went into my local South Florida Barnes and Noble. I am starting a program in May. Was looking for some books to get early so I could start studying. They had to put all of their Nursing text books and study aids behind the counter. The manager...

Just turned my application in in person at Central Campus. The lady behind the little desk was VERY nice. Wonderful, in fact. She took the time to input my application while I waited. She tallied my points while I was there, too, and made sure my ...

Well, I got a welcome packet saying that I was admitted into the university, so far. I also got an email yesterday asking for proof of Florida residency. That's it. I have two prereqs to still do, which will be done by May 1, but I don't need to ta...

Thank you Sunray, for all of the information you took the time to post -- in various threads, not just this one. Very helpful.

I only see Test Success: Test-Taking Techniques for Beginning Nursing Students, by Nugent. Is this the book you mean? Thanks.

Here is one: http://www.broward.edu/hospitalsponsorships/ I have heard ( chit-chat and grapevine) that they are only offering 4 or 5 TOTAL scholarships among all of the hospitals in Broward. Which I guess would be 1 each or so. I heard there used to...

Michigan. Say no more. It's not you. Don't beat yourself up. I sometimes struggle with some mixed emotions about staying home with my kids -- when my class wrote resumes for a project, I had a LOOOOOOONG gap of time where I didn't have much to put...

I am the tall woman who was making cracks about just having had my boobs done. (I didn't of course....it was just my fake reason to be in a hospital bed.)

SilentMind, let's meet and put it in writing.

Oh, by the way, besides the Potter and Perry text, I bought a used (and unmarked!)study guide for a dollar, which seems helpful, and a math calculations book, just for fun, called "Calculate with Confidence." It got good Amazon reviews, so I picked u...

Well, I think I have 12 or 13 points, but it is only based on my calculations, so I could be wrong. I just want this so much that I worry about not having the chance to do it. I bought some books and am studying ahead, which would make it seem like...

I just bought the sixth edition of Potter and Perry to just read on my own until my program starts in may. See me assuming that I will get in? It's older but I only paid two dollars for it. Not expecting to be able to use it for class. I guess it w...

You bet. I have heard they are great to work for.

Yep, I am. What group are you in? PM me if you don't want to spill guts on the forum. I think Mrs. C is excellent.

I didn't get a hold of anyone today, no surprises there, but tonight in Core class, I did ask my instructor if she had heard anything about not having a May start at Central Campus, and she said she hasn't heard a thing.

Well, I agree with you. I don't want to defer at all. It's time and money wasted, unless we use the time to make money and bank it for when we start school, I guess. I really just want to get started. I took the HESI for FAU. I applied there, bu...

Sunraygurl -- deferring is a good idea, if we have to. I didn't think of that, because I was so intent on starting in May. I can't do North campus -- my kids all go to school in Davie and Hollywood and we live right by Central, so Central is first c...
