  1. UNF Summer 2011 Accelerated BSN Hopeful

    FLhusker replied to kheldenb's topic in Florida Nursing

    Paco69....looks like we're about the same age (I just turned 42). You have applied to SIX schools and been accepted at 2....wow, you are dedicated. Which schools did you turn down? Is UNF your top...

  2. UNF Summer 2011 Accelerated BSN Hopeful

    FLhusker replied to kheldenb's topic in Florida Nursing

    Paco69....go for it! I've probably called enough to already be on their stalker list

  3. Anyone else really hoping for a 2nd chance? Need advice...

    FLhusker replied to Rooskenator's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, sounds just like me. I graduated years ago with a 2.8. Now that I'm trying to go back for nursing, it has come back to haunt me. Like you, I have all A's in my classes now but it is still...

  4. UNF Summer 2011 Accelerated BSN Hopeful

    FLhusker replied to kheldenb's topic in Florida Nursing

    HM2Doc....that makes sense but that would stink in a way as well....let's say that your group of 5 are all excellent candidates but 2 or 3 of them won't be chosen versus the group of 5 that are all...

  5. FSCJ Summer 2011 Hopefuls

    FLhusker replied to Str8Aspls's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm curious.....are you all residents of Duval County? I was told that since I live in St. John's county to not even bother to apply because regardless of my credentials, they take all qualified...

  6. (OMG) why is text books so expensive?.

    FLhusker replied to jamaicanwanabenrs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Amazon will also buy used books back at a good price. And return are easy, they took back all the books I didn't need at the full price I paid for

  7. 2year RN vs BSN

    FLhusker replied to joysimone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are hospitals here, in NE Florida, that will only hire BSN. After taking all of my re-reqs, it will take me just as much time to get an ASN as it will a BSN. I have applied to both but if I...

  8. UNF Summer 2011 Accelerated BSN Hopeful

    FLhusker replied to kheldenb's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes, but with more than one panel of interviewers, how can they really make accurate decisions? It seems unfair that some groups of candidates might be rated lower just because they happen to get the...

    FLhusker replied to kheldenb's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks, SarahBanana..... I was having a little freak out. I e-mailed the nursing coordinator and she confirmed that you just have to have documentation that the shots have been started upon...

    FLhusker replied to kheldenb's topic in Florida Nursing

    They interview 5 candidates at a time and have different interview panels....or so I've been told. It's all very subjective which can be good OR

  11. UNF Summer 2011 Accelerated BSN Hopeful

    FLhusker replied to kheldenb's topic in Florida Nursing

    Okay, this could be a problem. The UNF web site says you must be immunized against HEP B before starting the program. HOWEVER....it takes a series of 3 shots over 6 months to be immunized. Does...

  12. Waiting for nursing school?

    FLhusker replied to amberp83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am 42 and FINALLY applying to nursing school. I have wanted to do this for 20 years but life got in the way. I'm finishing up my pre-reqs and am awaiting my acceptance letter (notice the...

  13. The Wait is Killing Me!

    FLhusker replied to princsheather's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I find out mid-Feb if I even get an interview. Then the interview would be in mid-March....then a week after than I would know final decision. Waiting is very hard. Keeping busy helps....but the...

  14. UNF Summer 2011 Accelerated BSN Hopeful

    FLhusker replied to kheldenb's topic in Florida Nursing

    Oh yes....if you read closely, FSCJ takes "all qualified applicants" from Duval and Nassau Counties first before going into other areas. What this means is that you can have the best GPA and NAT...

    FLhusker replied to kheldenb's topic in Florida Nursing

    ssroberts -- I hear you about the stats. I, too, took stats many years ago and it is bringing my GPA down as well. It sounds like you do have the numbers to get an interview based on what I've seen....

    760.....Geez.....you will get an interview for sure. Never seen a score that

  17. UNF summer 2011 hopefull

    FLhusker replied to FLhusker's topic in Florida Nursing

    The cutoff changes every time. They apparently interview twice as many applicants as they will accept so they should interview 144 people to put 48 in RPL and 24 in accelerated. Take your GPA times...

    FLhusker replied to FLhusker's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm a gal! I'm taking Chem and Nutrition at SJRState. I loved Micro last term, very interesting. Oh, and I've never heard anyone say Stats should be easy!! :-) And you should wear a suit to the...

    HM2Doc....where are you taking your pre-reqs? 4.0....awesome! I'm sure you will get an

  20. UNF Summer 2011 Accelerated BSN Hopeful

    FLhusker replied to kheldenb's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have applied for the regular pre-licensure program even though I have a degree already. I have kids at home and know someone who just graduated the accelerated program and she said it was GRUELLING!...
