  1. FAU 2014 ABSN applicants

    Quendi replied to Quendi's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thank you for the vote of confidence! I certainly hope to be offered an interview. I can't wait! That's what it sounds like to me. It would be hard to interview 80 applicants in one day, I imagine. I...

    Quendi replied to Quendi's topic in Florida Nursing

    Welcome! I'm surprised there aren't more traditional applicants on these threads. You'll find many of us agree with you about FAU's program, so I completely understand giving it your priority. As for...

  5. New grad looking for a job......

    Quendi replied to finallyaFLRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    This is what I fear most when I graduate. What I see is a lot of new grads in Florida getting jobs through networking. Is there anyone you met during clinicals, etc that you might talk to about...

    Quendi replied to Quendi's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey hope2b! I took the TEAS V once and got a 96% adjusted score (99th percentile). I used the ATI study guide and practice exams exclusively. I spent 3 weeks before the exam reviewing the material in...

  9. FAU 2014 ABSN applicants

    Quendi replied to Quendi's topic in Florida Nursing

    I was told that they will look at higher degree GPAs as a secondary consideration, but I think they mainly are concerned with your bachelors degree. This is why I wish they required personal...

    Quendi replied to Quendi's topic in Florida Nursing

    Welcome! I had a similar question about my application, although it was concerning my BS and Graduate degree GPAs. What I was told is that they look primarily at the nursing pre-reqs GPA, then...

    Quendi replied to Quendi's topic in Florida Nursing

    I live in Boynton Beach, pretty close to 95. It's about a 15-20 minute drive South from my house to Boca Campus (when it isn't rush hour that is). I love Boca campus, it's been a second home for me...

  13. FAU 2014 ABSN applicants

    Quendi replied to Quendi's topic in Florida Nursing

    I think we are all feeling like that! For me, yes. I own a home here and cannot afford to relocate to another area. I considered other programs in the South FL area, but FAU's Nursing program has...

    Well guys, one month down, 2.5 to go! XD How are applications going? As per the unanswered question posed by kayl600, has anyone else applied who has noticed where the FAU Z number is

  16. FAU 2014 ABSN applicants

    Quendi replied to Quendi's topic in Florida Nursing

    You know, that's a great question! I imagine since it is a centralized service it would come up once you actually select FAU as your designation. For the life of me I can't remember if I had to submit...

  17. FAU 2014 ABSN applicants

    Quendi replied to Quendi's topic in Florida Nursing

    I know under the FAQ it states that you report it on NursingCAS. However, I just found this under the application area. I copied this straight from the web page. "If the TEAS exam is taken at a...

    Quendi replied to Quendi's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey fish. I'm assuming they will take the precalculus grade. If not, make sure to ask if you can retake it in Spring for a better grade (it's supposed to be completed in this term, but perhaps they...

  21. FAU 2014 ABSN applicants

    Quendi replied to Quendi's topic in Florida Nursing

    I believe you are correct. It simply takes you to the FAU website for those who are not yet pre-nursing students. It's to obtain your FAU ID (known as a Z number) for the nursingCAS, and helps...

  22. FAU 2014 ABSN applicants

    Quendi replied to Quendi's topic in Florida Nursing

    Kayl - I did not complete any of the optional sections, mainly because I know what the nursing program is looking for, and I figured it would just be more for them to have to sift through to get to...

    Quendi replied to Quendi's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi Kerry! To address your second question first, yes you can enter your information into nursingCAS as early as you want. I highly recommend it, as it is a little bit time consuming. It will also...

    Quendi replied to Quendi's topic in Florida Nursing

    Applications are officially open! Be sure to get your transcripts in early. It takes around 5 weeks for NursingCAS to process them after your application has been submitted, so leave plenty of extra...
