I know!! Ahhh! Orientation is next week! I can do it....it's gonna be a BUSY next few days, but well worth it! :)

Hey guys and gals!!! I am in for nights and weekends!! Whoop whoop!!!!! So excited, yet ANXIOUS to get all this stuff done in such a short period of time. I just recieved my call today. I am currently enrolled in another nursing program but am going ...

Awesome!!! Congrats!! You were 177, right? I am 179...Just two spots away!! I wonder if i'll get lucky and get a call!!??!

No mail here either. Hope we get our letters soon!!

Omg!! I cant believe they were sent out so soon!!! My mailman needs to HURRY! I have already been accepted into another school for my BSN, but will greatly consider going to FSCJ instead if I get in!!! :)

Awesome job! No stressing about the wait for you! You are IN!! No doubt! :yelclap:

Wow, 20 bucks?? Thats CHEAP!! Awesome! I still loved my class though! lol. And that was for the BCLS certification thats needed or just CPR? And yes, I have heard the titers can cost a few hundred bucks. I do wish theyd give info and more time to ge...

I got mine a while ago through Memorial Hospital. They offer day and evening classes, which was very convenient for me. I think it was about $40. That is about the average cost of what you will find ($40-$60). The class was very simple, but still inf...

Sugarbee - Either Chamberlain or JU for my BSN (both have the same accreditation and cost about the same) and then UF for my Masters in Midwifery. They have a "campus" here near Shands. Id LOVE to be a UF Alumni!! Go Gators!!! lol. I havent looked i...

Same here!!! Im torn between specializing in peds or midwifery. Pretty sure CNM is the route I want to take though. I had a midwife for both of my pregnancies and LOVED her! What better of a job than to bring sweet babies into the world everyday!! :h...

I think it is more of a convenience factor. N/W would def benefit my schedule more, but I do NOT see myself getting in for it. One can hope though! N/W also has smaller class sizes, so that is nice as well. Good luck to everyone!!! Only another month...

Yeah, they were a bit old! Haha. Thought it could give you some kind of info though. Im sure there are more recent threads about it out there....

Hi sugarbee! Welcome!! Here are a couple threads I found on FSCJ vs SJRCC. Some are a little old, but may give u an idea.... https://allnurses.com/florida-nurses/why-fccj-over-355559.html https://allnurses.com/florida-nurses/sjrcc-vs-fccj-217569.html...

You can apply to as many programs as you'd like. I have admission applications in at both FSCJ and Chamberlain. You just apply to the college, pay the admission fee, and apply to the program of your interest! Gives a better chance of getting in somew...

No problemo! I honestly appreciate your info and concern too. I really do. I had the same concerns and said the same things to people I know. Well both apps are turned in now, so its time to WAIT...ahhhhh!!!! Im gonna go cRaZy!

77for2011 - i thought the exact same thing when i first heard about them. i really did! i too compared them to those other schools. but after much research i found that chamberlain college of nursing is completely different from those “career colleg...

Chamberlain is pretty costly, right about the same as JU. I think it may be a little less than JU, but not by much. Im not too sure of the cost difference as far as FSCJ and then a BSN vs Chamberlain alone. I think Chamberlain might be a little more ...

Yes, I am def getting my BSN and then MSN. I plan to specialize in being a Midwife. I know its only a few extra months, but I am just ready to start, ya know? I am actually taking those two courses (stat and nutrition) this summer! Chamberlain has a ...

Yep...i calculated it over and over. Ugh!! N/W would be ideal for me but I am fine with either or...which right now is probably days if I get in. I am usually really good in Science...I really dont know where I went wrong, the only questions I wasn't...

So...I took the NAT yesterday evening and didnt do so well. I am SUPER bummed. I only recieved 90pts...I felt really good about it after taking it, but once I got my score all I could do was cry!! The math (the part I was worried about) I did just fi...

Congrats!!!! Awesome score!! I am taking it tomorrow. A little nervous!! Can you tell me what you thought about it? How hard was the math to you? Math on timed tests make me nervous! lol. Id love your insight on the exam!! Thanks so much!! Congrats a...

We wont know the cutoff until they send out the letters of acceptance/denial (they tell you what the cutoff score was in the letter). It is different for every term. Last Fall the cutoff was around 202 I believe, which is ALOT higher than usual. Good...

That is the exact semester I started as well, Fall 09! Im right there with you, part time classes, a job, and two little ones at home. It surely has flown by...and yes, lets hope nursing school does as well!! Haha. Those 8 weeks of waiting are going ...

I believe the max pts on the NAT is 120. You will have three raw scores at the end for science, reading, and academic aptitude (spelling, math, etc.) and you add those three numbers together and then multiply the total by 0.64 to get your points from...

I am taking it on the 16th! Good luck to you! Im hoping it is much easier than I am anticipating...I have heard it is, so my fingers are crossed! Also, I believe the wait is about 8weeks to hear back from them. Going to be the longest 8weeks EVER!!
