  1. FSCJ/FCCJ spring 2011 hopefuls

    Squirmy McCoy replied to Squirmy McCoy's topic in Florida Nursing

    This waiting business is ridiculous. The information age has spoiled me for sure -I love instant communication and immediate results! My mom is only adding to my impatience by calling me every day to...

    Squirmy McCoy replied to Squirmy McCoy's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm not getting emails notifying me of this thread... hm. weird. I'm a mom, too - I have a 3 year old and a 12 year old. :) I got a test prep book for the NAT but honestly, it didn't help at all. I...

  3. How competitive are CC's?

    Squirmy McCoy replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is difficult to judge someone based solely on grades; some people are poor test takers and may not be as good at memorizing theory so their grades (which are generally mostly based on those two...

  4. What can I do?

    Squirmy McCoy replied to crystal51772's topic in Florida Nursing

    I agree with FLmomof5, try to get the highest score you can on the NAT and finish up your prereqs. If you have a low grade in a math or humanities class (or both) take another class in the same area...

    Squirmy McCoy replied to Squirmy McCoy's topic in Florida Nursing

    Well, it's cut off day! I'm very curious to know how many people applied. :) I skimmed through last year's spring hopeful thread and they started getting their letters November 12. I hope it's at...

  6. I want to be a nurse but I have a low GPA

    Squirmy McCoy replied to Ethsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My community college only requires a 2.0 overall gpa and prereq gpa but there is a points system that they use to select students based on your prereq grades and the entrance exam. I had a very bad...

  8. FSCJ/FCCJ spring 2011 hopefuls

    Squirmy McCoy replied to Squirmy McCoy's topic in Florida Nursing

    The application packet has a whole list of places to get cpr certification. I'm going to take the class at FSCJ - I've got financial aid, so all I have to do is buy the book and mask. The cheapest one...

  9. FSCJ/FCCJ spring 2011 hopefuls

    Squirmy McCoy replied to Squirmy McCoy's topic in Florida Nursing

    Both the packet and the website say that it's not needed to apply; you need to present it when you're accepted. If that's not still true, I'm SOL. But I think it still stands.

    Thanks. :) The BLS class is the Basic Life Support/CPR certification we need to have if and when we get

    Squirmy McCoy replied to Squirmy McCoy's topic in Florida Nursing

    Squirmy McCoy replied to Squirmy McCoy's topic in Florida Nursing

    There were physics and chemistry questions on the test. But basic stuff, really. It seems like they want to make sure you have a decent science background. This site...

  14. How competitive are CC's?

    Squirmy McCoy replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My community college is a little bit different than the others mentioned. We have a points system for the nursing program - half comes from your score on the NAT and half on the grades you got in your...

  15. Taking CNA course before nursing school Worth it?

    Squirmy McCoy replied to CaliJessXoxo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll be taking the CNA course this fall while waiting for my acceptance letter and taking classes. In my area, it's very hard to get a job as a new RN grad (especially in a hospital) unless you've...

    Squirmy McCoy replied to Squirmy McCoy's topic in Florida Nursing

    Oh! There's an info session? Do I call the number on the packet to sign up? And thanks.

  17. FSCJ/FCCJ spring 2011 hopefuls

    Squirmy McCoy replied to Squirmy McCoy's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm going to try to take the CNA class that the Red Cross offers - they have info about it on their website, but what I remember is that it's a 7 week class, 3 days a week, and they offer both days...

    Squirmy McCoy replied to Squirmy McCoy's topic in Florida Nursing

    Oh, gosh, I'm really sorry. I'm sure you'll be able to bring up your NAT score and get in this time! My husband and I are already working on plan B and C - I'm getting laid off from work; my last day...

    Squirmy McCoy replied to Squirmy McCoy's topic in Florida Nursing

    Whew, that's an ugly number. If I continue doing about the same, I'll have 209 or so. If I don't get in, I still need to take DEP

  22. Your desired specialty

    Squirmy McCoy replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was a NICU baby, so NICU has always held some interest to me. I'm also interested in pediatrics or OB - I've had 2 c-sections and I'd like to help educate women on that subject, as well as teaching...

  23. I AM CONFUSED

    Squirmy McCoy replied to asker101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some schools may have a pre-nursing program, but I don't think it's required that you declare yourselfy pre-nursing. Most schools do required that you apply to the nursing program regardless. Pre...

  24. confused about when the Test of Essential Academic Skills is taken.

    Squirmy McCoy replied to I want this so bad's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
