1. Florida Compact License upgrade?

   amkat replied to gnovime's topic in Florida

   I applied on February 6th and have checked in twice to get updates. Each time I was told it could take up to 30 days, but the last time they responded, they also mentioned, "We are experiencing a very heavy workload" which could explain the delay.

2. Anyone applying for NCC nursing program for spring 2012?? Any NCC nursing student??

   amkat replied to karlita01's topic in New York

   I have a reading list and a few (not all) powerpoints from last year that you might find useful. 105 is the semester where you begin to learn more about the disease process, the pathophysiology behind certain diseases and the priority interventions ...

3. Getting into Nassau Community College Nursing Program

   amkat replied to Nurse8988's topic in New York

   101 material is mostly taken from the Kozier book, the Davis Drug Guide and the Carpenito Nursing Diagnosis book. Also, buy the Fundamentals Success book. It really helps you prepare for the exams, which are a huge chunk of your grade. Technical...

4. Getting into Nassau Community College Nursing Program

   amkat replied to Nurse8988's topic in New York

   Whatever you do, do not attempt to do AHS132 or AHS202 simultaneously with NUR101. Everyone who has attempted it will tell you it's a nightmare. I personally know two people who tried to do it last semester and failed one of the courses. And these...

6. Anyone applying for NCC nursing program for spring 2012?? Any NCC nursing student??

   amkat replied to karlita01's topic in New York

   I don't know the location, sorry, but you can always call the nursing department. Tentative acceptance pretty much means you've been accepted. They'll put you in a room with other students, explain the program to you for about 15 or 20 minutes and...

   Medical micro isn't offered during the winter, only during regular session and the summer. It's possible to get into the program without it, though. A lot of my classmates that just finished NUR101 are taking it this summer before moving on to 105....

8. Nassau Community College-Spring 2012

   amkat replied to 2years2rn's topic in New York

   one things. 1- I have to miss orientation (not mandatory but expected, I know) and I have this huge knot in my stomach as a result. I feel like I should call someone in the department and let them know I have an extenuating circumstance preventing m...

   @Jodi, if you go over older threads here on allnurses, you'll find a lot of information on the interview process. everyone who gets accepted receives a "tentative" acceptance letter pending interview, but from what i've read, you can consider yourse...

10. Nova Southeastern University Spring '12

    amkat replied to h3ll0k1tty's topic in Florida

    at the risk of sounding bitter i have to say, i'm extremely baffled as to why, after 3 months, no one can definitively say "you've been rejected" whenever i call or write. i would be more than glad to move on and put this all behind me but since nov...

    The woman who I spoke to in Admissions told me I would be notified via my NCC student e-mail. I asked her repeatedly if this holds true for those applying to the Nursing program as well and she said yes. I'm not sure if it's the same for people who a...

    i was told that notifications of acceptance are delivered via e-mail and we can expect decisions sometime around thanksgiving. i also applied, did my prereqs at NCC and have a 4.0. i'm pretty sure they want all of your prereqs completed or at least ...

    when did she get the letter? i'm trying to stay optimistic, but i'm running out of time so i'm starting to plan around the other program i got into. i guess i'm just confused. i have a 4.0 in my prerequisites so you'd think i'd be a shoe-in but now...
