Thanks! I will also buy the ones that I deem necessary.

Hey Lynsey, I presuppose you have rented them...they are really cheap if you rent them, true...I have no experience with rented books. Do they cover the length of time you need them? Thank you for your suggestion, I am inclined to give it a try.

Where do you buy textbooks at a good price? I am looking on ebay at International editions and I am not very comfortable. Any suggestions? The new textbooks on amazon are not very different in price from used ones...Thanks for suggestions...

Karen, the X-rays are good for 5 years. They are good for a longer time, but they cost $200 and up (vs $120 the blood test). I will do the chest ray once I start working - right now I am looking at the cheapest alternatives :) Thanks Lynsey for your ...

Oh, another question....sorry....it doesn't look that I am registered for the summer term 2014 (so I don't know wait what my FAU dues are). Do you appear registered?

Hey guys, just a curiosity...I always need to do the Quantiferon (blood) test for TB and it is darn expensive (not covered by the insurance I suppose). If it is good for only 1 year I would like to wait until we get closer to the clinicals. Any sugge...

Hi, I am actually taking the BSL course tomorrow through the M&M Medical that was in the orientation package ($30) which is not bad in terms of cost. So I will see some of you guys tomorrow at 9am for the course. Lynsey, the registration is quick...

I know this sounds weird, but do you know if we need to register for courses - to go on MyFAU and add the classes that were mentioned on the blue paper handed to us at the orientation? I thought they were just registering us for the right classes, bu...

Thanks Quendi! I am going to research deep into the subject :)

March 13 for a positive response, I am almost ready to give up my superstitions! I am in too and just sent the "no, thank you" response. I'm kidding, of course. See you all at the beginning of the next month for orientation! Also, a little question f...

Thanks Quendi, you are really a very, very, professional blog moderator. I bet you are going to be a leader in the nursing field at some point, you have the skills and the potential.

Where can you find the info regarding conditions to enter the clinicals such as BLS, immunizations etc.? And do you know how soon in the program they start the clinicals? Thanks for the info.

Thanks Quendi for the reassurance. I really appreciate your optimism.

Hi guys and congratulations for those who made it so far and sorry for those who haven't and were as qualified as most of us. The waiting time is very difficult to say the least. In this vein, I have received today a message from the College of Nursi...

I was looking in my emails and I was told the pople invited for the interview are going to be 80 in number 40 for each program. So, are the interviews another step in admission or it is just a chace to personally meet with FAU professors and present ...

:) just when I was writing the post :) congratulations!

Don't worry Quendi, frankly, with a master, high GPA and an even higherTEAS score you don't have any chance in the world not to receive an interview! You must be scheduled in a different time frame. Good luck!

It's what I thought too, so it looks like we will compete with each other at the interview. I am not sure if I am good at competing (actually I am very bad at competing as I come from a culture in which community is the rule), even less at interviews...

If you receive an interview meeting letter does it mean you are accepted into the program or is it another step toward admission. Thank for your replies.

Did any of the ABSN applicants get an interview letter yet? I received the same Valentine card from the office of undergraduate admission. I knew it was not the Email as these are two different admissions, but still... Hang in there and plan for you ...

Yes Mike, I don't understand that either. Aren't local colleges as good as universities in teachin the same scuence courses? I am puzzled! Good luck and let us know when you receive the acceptance letter.

I haven't received anything, so I assume like most of us that this means a no. I wonder when the rejection letters are sent. It would have been fair to receive them at the same time with the acceptance ones to spare us heartaches that we have already...

Congratulations and enjoy the journey!

Thank you Dr. Dormire for taking the time to prepare us for the admission decission. I just wanted to say that for some of us, following a nursing career comes with tremendous efforts that cannot be quantified in words. For some of us these efforts c...

I feel less nervous as I know my chances are minimum after reading your posts, and we need to be realistic. I do not understand the worries of people who are with one and a half foot in. You deserve it guys, as you have done exceptionally well. I hop...
