University of South Florida Accelerated BSN

I attened USF for my undergrad in Chemistry. I looked into their nursing program , and boy do they mean business. It's a toughie ,but a good one.

USF has a good nursing program. I really liked the instructors. In the accelerated program there are not as many clinical sites to choose from as the upper division/traditional nursing students, but in the end I was satisfied with where I was placed. You grow very close to your clinical team. It is a fast-paced, challenging program, but many students made it through. Whenever you are able to send PMs, feel free to PM me any time for more info!

Sehsun... I was looking into the program I was wondering if you can give me some information on it since you have completed it. Any info you can give me I'd greatly appreciate it. I am going to the info session on Friday.

No problem - just sent you an email.

Is the competition really tough to gain admittance into the USF Accelerated BSN program?

I don't really know how it was when I was accepted. I imagine it may have become a little more competitive, however, because they changed some things to the admission process. For example, now they consider work and volunteer experience, and they require a writing sample in the application.

Coming out of the lurkdom (and a lengthy break from the site) to give this thread some love...

I completed my application yesterday and although I don't typically have issues writing, (for some reason) it took me a bit to write/tweak my personal statement.

Initially, I seriously considered VCU's Accelerated Masters Program and even UF's ABSN (GO GATORS!!!), however for a lot of different reasons, USF's ABSN is my #1 choice now. I am very excited about the Program....and WAY glad to be done w/ the application.

Now the wait.......

I just graduated from that program (and I think Sehsun helped me when I was first applying...that's funny!). I loved it but it can be stressful. I think the CON is really working with the accelerated group to make it a better experience, which is awesome...for example, they have a separate section of some classes for the accelerated students. good luck!! and go bulls!
