UCF Cocoa Beach/Daytona Spring 2013

U.S.A. Florida

Published

I am a pre-nursing student attending UCF Orlando Campus. I am applying this summer to Cocoa Beach and Daytona Campuses to start Spring 2013! Eeek! I know there have been other forums regarding previous admissions to the program that have helped me to figure where I stand. I thought it would be nice to have a chance to meet each other, talk about our scores, and answer or ask questions regarding the application process!

So I called today and asked about the last step of the finger prints being incomplete. She said not to worry about it and everyone's says that.

I believe the fingerprints part is similar to what my job does. They are checking for predators..a.k.a Jessica Lunsford Act, making sure we can work with kids, this is required for persons who may work with kids like schools, hospitals etc...it is different from a background check and usually takes a few weeks to get results. I'm sure its nothing to worry about.

I am, just a little bit, but I'm more excited to have the whole process finished with and know whether or not I'm in. I can't wait until Tuesday afternoon (I have a morning interview), but I know the wait for the next round of emails, after the interviews, is going to kill me!

Hey guys and gals, I ve been lurking here at this thread, as I'm going for the interviews on Tuesday as well. I'm al little older in age, but not in spirit (I"m a 40 year old male student), my scheduled interview is for 12:30, anyone else here at that time? I'm put onlt Cocoa on my app since I live in Merritt Island, I think that was a mistake in hindsight. I had AA from BCC Cocoa with a 3.89 GPA, same for science prer reqs, and an 84 on my TEAS. I'm just hoping thats good enough; I don't have a backup plan as of yet except I'm currntly taking classes towards my minor Health Admin here at UCF (online) while waitng for the BSN opprotunity. If anyone needs any info on the Cocoa area let me know. I look forward to meeting all of you future nurses in Orlando on Tues. C-ya soon

I plan on wearing office dress shirt, slacks, and a tie, does anyone think I will need to wear a jacket as well? I don't have one, so I would have to go out and buy something if needed. And just trying the outfit on was, "hot as hell" and I'm gonna be a nervous twit anyways lol. I'm used to flip-flops ,shorts and a t-shirt.

I plan on just wearing a shirt and tie as well. I feel that wearing a full suit is just a bit too much for an interview and if you look at a lot of websites they'll tell you business casual is what you should wear for interviews. A shirt and tie is just a step up from business casual so I think it'll be fine. I just don't want to look uncomfortable either since I'm also used to shorts and flip-flops.

does anyone know if we should bring anything to the interview?

Rule of thumb is to usually wear whatever you feel comfortable in. If you're not use to wearing jackets, it's definitely going to show. Good luck to everyone =)

Thanks everyone, that settles it for me, no jacket. I plan on being there btw 10-11 (Orl traffic is unpredictable)for my 12:30 interview, so if anyone else gets there early maybe we can chat a little to calm the nerves while we wait. I'll be the guy with the Gray shirt, black pants, and a tie, who will probably nervously be biting my fingernails, so don't hesitate to walk over and introduce yourself lol. c-ya all tmrw....don't forget to eat a good breakfast :o)
