Wow. That stinks!!! Especially the part about when you get your schedules. I'm a single mom and arranging child care for the semester on such short notice could be problematic. I'll make it work I...

Do you know anything about how the process goes once we're accepted (being optimistic here)? Do we get to choose our own classes/instructors, etc.? Or are we auto-enrolled by FSCJ? And how soon after...

See my last post (may be on previous page) with some useful resources, practice test questions, etc. There have also been some other people posting great advice on this thread. Hopefully since you've...

I had some A&P on mine too...from what I can remember. Renal. Liver. And digestive. Oh, and also bones of forearm. Definitely worth a brush up on basic A&P. It wasn't too in depth

Here are some of the resources I found most useful (in hindsight) for the NAT: http://www.psbtests.com/site_resource_files/11RNSAEsq.pdf (good sample questions, directly from PSB - the company who...

I think a 196 is a great score! Are you applying for days or n/w? I know the n/w tends to be a little more competitive to get into but either way I think you're in with an excellent chance. As for...

I've heard that same thing about the sheer volume of material. The first term is apparently the worst which is something I'm concerned about, particularly if the Summer semester ends up being only 12...

Best of luck to you!! Try not to stress too much...nerves can get the best of you so try not to be too anxious (I know that's easier said than done). Hope to see you in the

Funny you should say you are applying at UNF, I was originally planning on going into their program however I decided to go with the more financially responsible path for me and chose FSCJ's...

Angela, I think you'll be just fine with a 203. From what I've seen from other boards, the cutoff points are usually in the 195-198 range. I think the nights/weekends program is usually more...

Nice to "meet" you! I'm glad I'm not the only one who is nervous!! If you don't mind me asking, how many points did you apply with? Look forward to getting to know you more.

Just finished my NAT. Boy, that was scary. I was shaking the whole time! Anyway, with all said and done I'll be applying with 224.32 points. I hope it's enough to secure a spot in the N/W program. I'm...

Thank you so much for the insight. I ended up asking for the Littmann Classic II SE for Christmas (little bit more within our budget) which sounds like it will be ok for the program. Thanks again!...

Thanks so much for this awesome information! Is there a specific stethoscope they recommend? And also, what shoes do you need to have? I'm asking because even though I'm not anticipating starting...
