Hi, I'm taking pre-reqs now to get into nursing school at florida community college in jacksonville. I did a search of the forums but didn't find too much info about the Psychological Services Bureau Revised Nursing Aptitude Exam. Has anyone taken ...

I am an ER nurse working on my BSN. Right now I am taking an evidence-based nursing class and my last paper has to be about a perioperative procedure that should be changed or has recently been changed. Can anyone think of a procedure that needs ch...

Thanks for your input guys, it is very helpful!!:)

Has anyone taken the nursing admission test before taking any of the pre-req's? If so, how did it go? Were you accepted into the nursing program? I have been out of h.s. for 7 yrs. now and would like to know what my chances would be on getting a go...

Hi!! Can someone please tell me the differences, pros/cons between the two? :) Sonja

Well, I know that the CC RN program that I am applying for uses a point system also. It is a combination of pre-requisite grades, the nursing aptitude test, and they also give points if you work in a qualifying health-related field. Hope that helps...

And I thought I was in for it with an 8 week course. Good luck and keep me posted as well!

Wow, she doesn't give an inch it sounds like. You definitely did the right thing by bringing it up to her. It sounds to me like you are in the right but she's a teacher that thinks she is never wrong. And if she is you are better off just keeping ...

Hi everyone! My name is Sonja, 25. SAHM to Maya, 2 and Tyler, 7. I am taking my pre-reqs starting this summer and will hopefully be accepted into the May 2006 nursing program. I am doing the ADN program because my husband is Navy and we don't stay in...

I believe that the teacher you have makees all the difference. If you can drop this class and retake it that would probably be best. We all know how important grades are when being accepted into a nursing program!! Another suggestion, go to www.ra...

Hi! I will be taking general psych as well starting in May. I signed up for the classes not knowing whether the teacher I got was any good or not. Then I found this site www.ratemyprofessors.com and it looks like I lucked out and got an awesome te...

Thanks guys for your help!!!:)

I have searched the forums for info on FCCJ and found a little but not a lot. My questions are there any teachers that you would strongly recommend or not recommend and why? Also, how is there program and any other pointers you have about FCCJ in g...

That is one of the classes I was concerned about so thanks for the info!! Sonja

Awesome! Thanks for the info. guys. I'm definitely going to at least give these tests a shot. Sounds like a good idea. Sonja

Has anyone taken any of the CLEP tests? For those who don't know what these are they are tests you can take for certain courses, and if you get a certain number of points you don't have to take that specific course. If anyone has taken the CLEPs fo...

Thanks for the info. and let me know how you do on the sociology CLEP, I had thought about doing that one also. Sonja

Thanks for the response. I am moving to Jacksonville in January and will start classes in August. Can you recommend any good teachers for the prereq. and general ed. courses we have to take in the nursing program. How do you like fccj?

Hi, my name is Sonja and I am 25. I am married and have a 6 yr. old boy and a 1-1/2 yr. old girl. I am taking English 1101 and college algebra this semester. We currently reside in Pensacola, FL but will only be here for 6 months (hubby is navy)....

Count me in also!! I start pre-reqs this fall. And hoping to be an RN in 2007. What nursing books do you all read now to kind of get an idea of what we are getting in to? What classes is everyone taking first? Myself, I am going to take A&P...

Hi! My husband and I along with our 2 children are relocating to Pensacola in June. I can not find an accredited 2 year RN program in that area. Is it okay to go to the Junior College there and get my associate's even if it is not accredited? What...

I am right with ya. When I was induced Dec '02, I had a bad experience with IV's. I think I am traumatized for life:crying2: .

What do you think about the professors and the program? What classes did you take before you were accepted? Did you use any study guides to take the nursing admission test? Thanks for the help, Sonja

I think UWF is accredited by the CCNE, but I only have the time, money, etc. to do ADN right now. Oh well. Wow, you are dedicated! 110 miles...phew.

Is there anyone who goes to school in Alabama because there isn't a nationally accredited ADN program near Pensacola? If so, how do you like it and what is the commute like? Thanks!!
