Hello, everyone! Since I have not seen one started on this site, I thought I would go ahead and get the ball rolling. This thread is for anyone hoping to get into FSCJ's Nursing Program for the term starting in the Summer of 2014.

You are more than welcome! I appreciated it too when the veterans advised us at the beginning. It is never intended to be negative or harsh. This is a wonderful program, but it is hard, it is often unfair, and there are just things that are what they...

There is no way someone got in with a lower score than the cut off score. Clearly some people have calculated their scores incorrectly. That just does not happen. Period. They always take 144 in the Fall and Spring, and only 96 in the Summer. I kno...

Well, someone reported on here that they got in with like 178, so unless you did not do something correctly in your application, you should be in. Not getting a letter in the first wave last week does NOT mean you did not get in. If you don't get som...

Good! I am glad! I want to stay with my section. I had heard different things about the lottery second term, but I am glad to know there isn't one other than it leaves us up to having no choice but I'd like that more than getting separated from our s...

You will find all of this out at orientation when you do the lottery and pick your schedule. As another person said, every section has a different schedule. I do not have school on Fridays, because that is the schedule I picked and was lucky enough t...

You have to get your tops through Meridy's. The pants I have no idea. Any uniform store I'd imagine. I don't know the pricing difference, but I know some people have bought them else where because they liked the fit better. I bought the ones from Mer...

The skills kit was ordered online. The info was in our packet. It may have been Meridy's also but I can't say for sure. I just know I ordered it from one of the papers they sent, and it is sent straight to the school, and we did not get ours until th...

Thank you!!! All she said here is 100% correct! Do NOT bother with those notes until you're there. You will only confuse yourself and get even more overwhelmed as well. A lot of us are those plan ahead, get a jump start on everything as soon as we ca...

I had Pharm,Techniques, Concepts, and Health Assessment notes before classes started, but I would not recommend worrying too much about that now. You're going to be hit with a lot of overwhelming information all at once. Nothing you can do now will r...

They run very small!!

Okay. So many questions here and not enough time to go back and quote them all, so I'll answer what I remember seeing. Switching: You would have to find someone from the other program to switch with but once you do, that's it. But you have to go to ...

Me too!!! I remember what it feels like and am so happy to see this!

Yes, it has!!! Congratulations!!

No, you do not! There are plenty of other options out there. Don't waste your money on those.

You are more than welcome!!! We have noticed that in this program, all the students before you take the time to help the newbies out, so we pay it forward, and you all will do the same when you are no longer the "babies." Just 10 weeks ago, WE were t...

Yes. Must be done at North Campus. And yes, I got mine done in under an hour. You may not be able to find anyone to sign off on the Nursing Skills Lab, so if not, put something like, "No one available." They will accept that for only that one spot. ...

Isn't that the most beautiful site you've ever seen?!!?! Congratulations!!!

I do not believe so. I went to a doctor's office so I can't say for sure, but I would say you could probably walk in and do it.

You should have several medical pages. Some that are release forms, and then there should be a page that your doctor has to fill out for your physical. The titers are at the top of that and it should list the ones you need, but if I remember correctl...

LOL! Yes, it is a lot!!! Start with those titers and immunizations first. Get that started now! The background check, fingerprinting, and urinalysis can all be done on the same day if you schedule it right. Background check is just a matter of you fi...

Now that you all beginning to receive your packets, one of you should make a Facebook page for your entire graduating class. You should be December 2015 class if I'm not mistaken. It is a great way to communicate...and when you do add some of us late...

That should not happen UNLESS you did not fill out your application correctly. That is the only reason I know of why you would have the points and not get accepted. It is not like they sit around and say, "Oh, this applicant has a 191 but we like thi...

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL WHO GOT THEIR ACCEPTANCE PACKETS!! The fun REALLY begins now!!! LOL! Expect to be verrrrrry busy between now and orientation and the first day of school! Unfortunately, you might not ALL get your packets today or even this wee...

This is SO true!!!! Hang in there, y'all! You WILL know one way or the other soon. The majority of your wait is over!
