    Ditto this...especially the relax
  2. FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    Don't stress the test at orientation. It is just basic math and medical terminology - they just want to see where everyone is starting from. It doesn't count for a grade or
  3. FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    We had to buy ours directly from the people who made them (can't remember the name), but if they have them at the bookstore that's great!! That way you'll be able to see the sizes. Just be aware that...
  4. FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    Correct, just the tops and the name badge (and the lab coat, but I've still never worn mine and I'm 4 weeks from
  5. FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    I got mine at Uniform Outlet - there's one on Beach/University and one at the St. Augustine
  6. FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    The tops aren't really fitted...I would definitely go for comfort because you'll need extra space in the pockets to stash your stuff. I got a large and an extra large and the extra large is definitely...
  7. FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    You'll find that out at orientation. For our first term we had tests on Mondays and classes Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings. Some of the classes may not meet every week. Remember that...

  9. FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    You won't need your whites until at least 4-6 weeks into the program so if Meridy's won't ship them until September 14th then that should be fine. However, do yourselves a favor and DON'T order the...
  10. FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    Congrats to everyone who got in!!! Now the fun
  11. FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    I asked the FSNA (FSCJ Student Nurses Association) president about the orientation date for Fall 2014 (she's usually in the loop about these things). She was told it hasn't been confirmed yet. She'll...
  12. FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    They will provide information about where and how to purchase the skills kit - it has to come from where the school has arranged. Aside from what comes in the skills kit, you will likely need a pair...
  13. FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    Hold off on getting anything done before your acceptance is received. As you may have gathered by now, the nursing office is VERY particular about what you submit and when it was done - there's a...
  14. FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    I've not heard of them taking the county into consideration before this thread. Of the 24 people in my lecture class I know at least 6 who live outside of Duval
  15. FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    It's my understanding that the people who receive the denial letter are informed in the letter what the cutoff score
  16. Where did I use the term significant figures? I was simply offering the original poster an insight into how my program has taught us how to round for nursing. I didn't use the term significant figures...
  17. In our program, we were told that if the number is less than 1 to use 2 decimal places. If the number is greater than 1 then only 1 decimal place is needed. The exception is when calculating weight in...
  18. FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    I think their rationale is to orient you to the campus and the various "resources" instead of making you sit through a two day orientation. The reason you need signatures is to prove you did it! I...
  19. FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    Orientation used to be two days but I believe it's now only one day and then there is a scavenger hunt you have to do before that on your own time (where you go to different departments, etc. and...

    As for reaching Cheryl James, try emailing her - I've had more luck that way in the past. Unfortunately I can't post her email address here due to allnurses site
  21. FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    The first day of class and orientation are not the same thing. Orientation will take place before classes start, usually a week or so before. Missing orientation = bad. Missing first day of class =...
  22. FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    I believe that classes start August 25th for Fall so you will miss that first day which isn't too bad. I'm not sure how long your trip will be - my concern if I were you would be missing orientation...
  23. FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    I believe the reason for not giving points for ACP/PCT employment is to do with the schooling that takes place to be in that position within the facility. If you think about it, in theory an ACP/PCT...
  24. Is nursing school worth it?

    If you already have a bachelors there are many schools that offer an accelerated BSN program which I'm sure will be a lot less of a burden financially. One you have a BSN you could do a BSN-MSN/ARNP...
  25. FSCJ Fall 2014 hopefuls

    If you look at your SAR (Student Aid Report) in PDF format at the bottom of the first page it should say "Based on your EFC of xxx you may be eligible to receive a Federal Pell Grant of up to $xxx". A...
