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!

Hi there! Just want to let everyone know that we have a Facebook group going for Cocoa. We're at 13 and growing! Here's the link.....

@ Beachbum44 I would be willing to rent a room in my house, I has nice furniture in there and everything. I live in Cocoa and was accepted to Cocoa. My name is Lauren and I'm on the FB page. Message me if your interested :)

Hello incoming Juniors!

I take it you all have received your acceptance letters and let me just say congrats to all that were accepted! It is a crazy, insane and wild ride but so worth it. You wil make amazing friends that you will learn to lean on and probably cry with many times,lol. I am a senior nursing student on the Daytona Campus and was in your shoes at this time last year. I was very thankful to have had one of the seniors at the time here on all nurses giving out some good advice on the program and what to expect. Everyone please feel free to ask any questions you might have and I will do my best to answer them as honestly as I can, One thing I will tell you all for sure is that the 1st semester is the craziest! You are going to be floored at the amount of work, especially in community, but if you keep organized it is much easier to handle. And I have seen the new uniforms you guys are getting!! So jealous!! They are waaaay better than the all white ones that we still have to wear...blech! Anyways, welcome again and I am here if you have any questions.

What do the new uniforms look like? Also, is there anything we should know or prepare for before starting classes? Thanks for all your help!

Hey, I saw a lot of comments and thought this would be a good place to introduce myself. I will be going to the Daytona class this coming Spring. Just waiting on the contracts and such. Im ready for this to start already. Hope to see you guys soon.

The new unforms are really nice, The pants are black with a drawsrtring waist and I believe they have the ucf logo on them. The tops are white and they have a gold and black stripe on each arm. They kinda look like football jerseys to me. Much better than the old ones. Were not required to buy them since we already have ours. As far as what you can do to prepare. Id say just take this time to relax and enjoy your families. You will be extremely busy the first semester and you definately hit the ground running, so enjoy your free time while you still have it!!

To me the new uniforms, for the guys at least, look like male cheerleader uniforms lol. What do you guys normally wear to class? I was looking at the online handbook and saw something about it being business casual, is this true for everyday class or just when going to events? Basically, will I be allowed to wear shorts and filp-flops to class? Also, I have a manager that is willing to work with me on my schedule. I told him I can only work weekends and he said he'd give me 2 ten hour days so I can get a decent paycheck if I was up for it. My question is do you find yourself doing a lot of homework on the weekends or do you have enough time after class/clinicals during the week?

Lol, yeah I guess they do look like cheerleader uniforms a little, but they are way better than the all white ones that we still have to wear in my opinion, no modesty at all in those things! As far as "business casual" for class....dont even worry about that. We all wear jeans and shorts and flipflops....its very laid back, I dont even know why thats in there. You will wear your scrubs on the days you have labs and clinicals. Working for me was not an option as I have a child and frankly there was just too much work/papers. syudying for tests, etc.... Some of the people in my class did work though so it is possible, just keep it to a minimum cause as I said before, the first semester is a BEAST!! Especially community! Ugh, so glad thats over. I am seriously going to burn that book after this is all over...for now Im keeping it,lol (we use it again last semester for public health). See you guys at the meet and greet!

Oh and another thing..if anyone is having trouble paying tuition and having to take out lots of loans...look into the onestop career center. UCF now contracts with them and if you qualify, you can get up to 2500 a semester. You have to live in Volusia/Flagler county and you must have a need...meaning they will only pay after grants and scholarships are applied and there is still a balance. For me it was great because I didnt qualify for pell anymore. Just thought Id let you all know. I was looking at having to drop so I thank God I found a out about it. Oh and they also give you like 80 dollars in gas cards every month too!!
