Shiverphone, one of my friends got a call on the first day of CLASSES! Don't give up yet. If you do get declined, the letter will tell you your number on the list.

Don't buy the $150 they say they recommend. Littman has a great lightweight stethoscope for around $50. The Cardiology one is HEAVY.

FSNA sells former students uniform tops for $5. You can wear any white scrub bottoms ($13 at Wallymart) Do not buy forceps or the lab coat. You will never use either, I promise. You also only need one name badge even though they tell you to buy two. ...

Shiver, that is exactly what you need. Basic BLS class but it must be American Heart Association accredited or else fscj will make you take it again. It's good for two years. But you can beat that price. There's a lady that does it in her house for $...

If you got 225-230, I'd *guess* you're probably getting whichever section you want. Are they having Nights at North or Deerwood? One good thing about this program, they really do scour your transcripts to make sure you get the highest points value po...

What were your scores? In my term someone in the high 190s ended up in N/W. If you have over 200s and picked nights, you stand a good chance. I will warn you though, although it's the hardest to get into, n/w gets the least respect. A lot of the facu...

The program contact is still there but the Director of Nursing quit. Plus we have big controversy over the exit Hesi minimum score being raised 150 points this term. Not making excuses, but they are swamped. They have 6-8 weeks to mail the letters, ...

You might want to call the nursing office and ask if they do waivers. It's not a fscj requirement per se, but it is a requirement the hospitals have when you start clinicals. You don't start clinicals in first term until week seven, so you may be out...

Y'all know our nursing director left, right? There's an interim person right now. Could be a reason it's taking so long for you guys. Fourth termers also had the exit Hesi this week :) I'd bet you guys start finding out in the next few days! They sen...

You think it's frustrating to wait, wait until you're in the program and they wait until the last minute to tell you anything! You can definitely do your BLS and flu shots now. Just don't do any of the other titers/shots yet. Good luck everyone!

Have you gone to a Clinical day yet? Some people who hate the classes just love clinicals, and vice versa. Can you talk to a counselor or one of your professors about it? I saw a couple of criers in my first term. It's not unheard of.

For FSCJ, the spelling and (I think) the academic aptitude sections don't count towards your score.

Most teachers don't care if you use a previous version. The school has a contract with the book manufacturer so they do have a bit of an interest in keeping bookstore sales high.

A few more and then I'll leave y'all to celebrate! You do not need to buy the lab coat! You'll never, ever wear it. If you get cold you can wear any white or blue sweater or jacket. Unless you are naturally messy or clumsy, you only need one uniform...

congrats! Here's a few tips I wish someone had told me: Get your titers done asap. They may take a few days to come back. You don't *have* to get the Hep B titer if you need to save money. You can sign the declination form even if you've already had ...

Lindsayy, you can do CPR and flu shots now but wait on the titers until you get your letter. They have set dates that you have to do the tests after. In my class they were still calling people on the first day of classes to offer open spots. Don't pa...

I'm in term two and just wanted to say don't freak if you don't get a letter today! In fall they mailed them out in two batches, several days apart. It was not alphabetical either. I got my letter a WEEK after everyone else seemed to! And there were ...

Everyone said you can wait to buy uniforms since they aren't required for awhile but the page in the packet says the order deadline is today. It also says it takes a MONTH to ship? I thought others who had ordered had gotten theirs much quicker than ...

When I registered for them one at a time, it let me into 3 out of 4. When I tried to do all four at once, it wouldn't let me have any of them. I sent an email to the nursing office to let them know what's happening. ETA: Hey, it's fixed now. At least...

N/W people, were you able to register for both Pharm and Concepts? Connections keeps telling me there's a time conflict with those two classes overlapping!

Thank you! :)

Can anyone list the names/ISBNs of the books in the box?

Call until you get someone or go in because they can evaluate it on the spot. The way I finally got someone on the phone was to pick a different department in the menu and had them transfer me to a real, live human after I told them I meant to call e...

The box is also at Deerwood. I expected it to be bigger!

Does anyone know if the Deerwood campus will also have the box for sale?
