Thank you so much everyone. Your words motivated me to push forward :) I will continue to pursue nursing to the best of my ability!!

Hello everyone! I've been accepted to attend nursing school this fall. I'm transferring from a community college and am now spending most of this last summer vacation scrambling to get the requirements done (vaccinations, paperwork). And now I've been facing a bit of an issue- I've started to have second thoughts. I'm going to have to spend a chunk of my parent's money that they don't have in order to get the school's health insurance because I don't have any (it's 2k+ & a $500 initial payment). It made me really stop and think that I have to take this seriously (not like I wasn't already!) because now I've started to use my parent's money and I don't want to waste it. Then I started to question myself if this might be what I really wanted to do. That was when I realized my community college classes were probably easier than this university's classes, so I questioned if I was even ready for the classes. Then something horrible and unexpected suddenly happened, my grandma passed away. I was never really close to her but she'd helped raise me and lived with me for my entire life. I broke down bawling in the ER with my sister and since then I've felt quite empty and depressed. My orientation was right after this happened but I opted to go anyway so I would not miss any information but I soon realized it had been quite useless for me to go because my mind wasn't all there at all. There was a moment when a speaker showed us an ER video of nurses conducting CPR on a child but the kid died anyway. I almost started to bawl because I was still sensitive and it reminded me of my grandmother just two days earlier. The speaker looked at all of our faces and told us that this was what we would have to see on a daily basis and if we can't do it, we shouldn't be nurses. I told my friend later about the incident and then he asked me, "Well, are you? Are you ready for this?" I wanted to answer yes of course because I've always been able to emotionally detach myself from situations to the point where my sister has called me cold hearted but after the incident with my grandmother I realized maybe I'm weaker than I thought I was. I also couldn't shake off the feeling that her death was someone's fault from the rehab center she had been staying at because it was such a 180 change that even the nurses were shocked. My dad mentioned how her nurse would carry so many pills everyday when she did rounds that he wondered if she would confuse them. This hit me with the reality as well how much responsibility lies on the nurse's shoulders and how one tiny mistake could take someone's life. I was already aware of this bit but it just became much more real. So the question if I'm ready to be a nurse that I used to know how to answer, I no longer know how to. I'm scared I'll end up making my parents pay all this money and only end up quitting halfway. But then there's the "what if", like what if I could end up being a great nurse and loving it? But when what if I hate it and everything goes down the drain, the years, the sacrifice, the money? I only decided to be a nurse on the fly senior year of high school when I was forced to choose a major because I felt I was smart enough for it and I wanted to have a meaningful job that helped other people. I thought it was the perfect fit and I can't think of anything else I would like to be at this point. But I'm having a lot of doubts. The question is, do I back out or do I push through? Sorry for all the paragraphs, I have a bad habit of making my posts big haha :)

Mine did too. I ended up calling complio a few days ago and they led me to calling Daon. Daon told me to give them 4-6 business days, even though it had basically already been 6 business days. But then I got a follow up call the next day from Complio that they resolved the issue for me. Now when I log in to Complio it says the fingerprinting has been completed with a green check mark but then when I take off the pop up and look at the regular page it's still an X. Lol idk I may have to call again for that. I also need to call for my employment check because that's taking forever as well. Call Complio and they'll help you out! Their number: 1-800-200-0853

OMG CONGRATS EVERYONE! I got in as well! I can't wait to see you all as classmates!!

@nursingrules3 I think you should send it also to the general office because you also must be accepted into fiu itself not just the nursing college. The good thing is that for fiu you can just send that one electronically, it isn't required to submit the physical version of the transcript.

@itsmemariooo isn't the transfer deposit due by August 14? @blueberries17 yeah I dropped by today, hopefully no more problems arise.

For those who are also transferring from MDC on this forum, is anybody else having issues with receiving their final transcripts? :/

@nursingrules3 hello! As transfers we have to send 2 final transcripts, one to FIU which can be electronic or physical copy. And then one also to the nursing college which has to be a physical copy, if you're mailing the physical copy to the nursing college, send it to: 11200 SW 8th Street, AHC-3 Room 121, Miami, FL 33199, Attn: Christian Rodriguez. Or you could drop the physical copy for the nursing college yourself at AHC-3 121.

Not yet.

Oh I've just received an email that my final transcripts are still pending so they can not yet finalize the ranking. :/ I'm going to have to check up on those transcripts.

Your stats are good, there's still a lot of time left for you to receive your email! They've only just started sending them out. Maybe they're doing it in order of last name or in the order the applications were received.

CONGRATULATIONS GUYS! :) I haven't received anything either ohhhpaulo, maybe they're doing the FIU students first and then the transfers like cheuk.chan001 said.

Yes! Hopefully we all get in lol. Yea Nova is bit expensive, this is why FIU is so ideal because it is cheap and for me it is close to my home lol. The application process is tedious, hopefully we won't have to go through it again. But even if we don't it won't be the end of the world! There's always another way. I just wish we could know the verdict already though, the anticipation is seriously killing me. I've been checking my email every single day since last Monday. And now it seems we may be stuck waiting even longer.

I didn't apply anywhere else, I wanted to go to UCF so bad but I couldn't apply because I needed to have a certain amount of prereq's done before applying. If I don't get in FIU this round I'm planning on working on my community hours and getting some experience in a hospital setting so I have more to offer than just my GPA while I wait for the next cycle. Then I'll apply next cycle except not just to FIU, I'll go for UCF, USF, FSU and UF (even though this one is quite the long shot, I hear they only accept about 5 transfer students). Won't put my eggs all in one basket again! Nova's a good school! I hope you get a response soon! It's still early, they may not have started sending out letters yet.

Hey! Oh man more waiting great.
