Hi, I just got accepted into Valencia's nursing program. I would love to hear from students who are either in the nursing program or graduates of the program at Valencia as to how you liked it. How were the teachers? What is the success rate of students starting the program to students finishing? Thank you!!

Actually the Concurrent program for Valencia/UCF does not start until August 2011. You cannot apply for the first class, you have to be recommended by VCC or invited by UCF. I met with them about it and pretty much said that anything below 3.5 GPA is not going to fly and a decent TEAS score. They will have 30 students for their first class.

I won't be going to VCC anymore. I was accepted into UCF's BSN program. I wish you all well. Good luck in the program!

Specializes in LTAC, Wound Care, Case Management.
You have to compete with other applicants to get into the program for SCC.

Pro: don't have to wait like VCC

Cons: decent competition from what I heard. There is a chance you might not get in

You Don't compete with other applicants to get into the VCC nursing program, you just need to fulfill the minimum requirements.

Pros: you don't need a high GPA or TEAS score to get into the program

Cons: 1 year or more waiting times

hope this info help u guys :smokin:

Does anyone know if the waitlist for the Advance Track (LPN-RN) is as long as the one mentioned above? I have a few more pre-reqs to finish up but am hoping to transition in without too long of a wait. I don't mind a short wait, but don't want to wait over a year!

Advance track is different, I don't think there is a waiting time for that. You just compete with other applicants to get into the program.
