  1. Florida Compact License upgrade?

    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. 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

    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

    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...
  5. I started in the Spring. Going into 105 next semester.
  6. 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...
  7. 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

    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...
  9. @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

    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...
  11. congratulations! i just got my acceptance letter in the mail today too (pending an interview on december 13). crazy.
  12. 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...
  13. Nova Southeastern University Spring '12

    when i emailed last week about rejection letters, this was the response i received: "we hope to have admissions decisions made soon. we will send you a letter in the mail with the final decision. thank you for your patience. " i don't know how s...
  14. 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 ...
  15. Nova Southeastern University Spring '12

    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...
  16. Nova Southeastern University Spring '12

    i called again just to make sure but i kept getting several answering machines over at the nursing department. i asked someone at general admissions and made sure they knew i was *specifically* talking about the entry-level BSN program and yes, the ...
  17. Nova Southeastern University Spring '12

    thanks! i've spoken to her before and i've flooded her with emails during the whole application process. i feel like i should send her flowers by now after all that incessant pestering.
  18. Nova Southeastern University Spring '12

    just an update. after calling nova again (i know, i'm relentless) they said that they'll continue sending out notifications over the next two weeks. hope that puts some of your minds at ease.
  19. Nova Southeastern University Spring '12

    whoa, congrats guys! for anyone still waiting on an acceptance/rejection letter, i called the office this morning to confirm whether or not they were still being sent out and i was met with an emphatic "yes! they're being released in waves". so fea...
  20. Nova Southeastern University Spring '12

    i've been lurking on these forums since june. for the last three months, i must've checked this page along with my nova vip account at least 10 times a day. suffice it to say i'm ready for the wait to be over. but when i heard that acceptance lett...
