1. New Grad considering quitting nursing

   scobyroo replied to Jacob's topic in New Nurse

   Thanks for following up on your original post @Jacob. This is a really common post topic, but people often don’t post a follow-up, which from the perspective of readers makes it look like there’s no resolution (or hope). I relate to your origina...

2. Valencia College ADN Spring 2019

   scobyroo replied to mluarte's topic in School Programs

   The way Valencia does it, is if you meet the requirements you will be guaranteed admission. There is a waitlist though for this reason, so when you apply and are accepted it generally takes at least a couple semesters until you can start. As long as ...

3. Valencia College ADN Spring 2019

   scobyroo replied to mluarte's topic in School Programs

   Hi again, Those are great questions. I will say, questions about higher level nursing education are above my scope of knowledge and experience still being in the ADN program. I may be mistaken, but I believe you will still need a BSN in nursing in or...

   scobyroo replied to mluarte's topic in School Programs

   Hi Elsabeellie, I can't compare to Miami Mercy as I don't know anything about that program, but I can for Valencia. It's a difficult program, but we have a 100% NCLEX pass rate so it definitely prepares you. There's the traditional daytime program, b...

   scobyroo replied to mluarte's topic in School Programs

   Hey CoeurCommeHepburn, I haven't heard anything other than that Valencia grads do well with finding work after graduating. I'm not sure how a Valencia degree looks to employers outside of the central FL area, but the school has a good reputation in t...

   scobyroo replied to mluarte's topic in School Programs

   Hey guys, Suddenly I understand why threads always go dark once people start their programs.. I haven't been back on these forums in months; super super busy with school, but I'm just now finishing up my first semester in VC's nursing program and fou...

7. Valencia/UCF Concurrent Spring 2019

   scobyroo replied to scobyroo's topic in School Programs

   I used a study guide to really focus on the math and English sections, since you can study the types of math problems and grammar structures that they're going to ask questions on. I'd say just keep doing practice questions to get used to what they'r...

8. Valencia/UCF Concurrent Spring 2019

   scobyroo replied to scobyroo's topic in School Programs

   I'm not really sure what the schedule will look like, since we haven't had orientation yet. It is the Valencia West daytime nursing schedule with the addition of whatever UCF course we have that semester. Sorry I can't be more helpful as of yet. As f...

   I second that. Is there one yet?

10. Valencia/UCF Concurrent Spring 2019

    scobyroo replied to scobyroo's topic in School Programs

    Awesome! Yeah, after I registered and paid for the orientation they sent another email pointing out that this session counts as both the UCF nursing orientation and the UCF general orientation.. That answers all the questions we had haha, which we kn...

11. Valencia/UCF Concurrent Spring 2019

    scobyroo replied to scobyroo's topic in School Programs

    I just got an email from UCF orientation saying the session has opened up. It's the Nov 9th session we already knew about.. so we only have to sign up for that one, and not a separate online or UCF campus orientation. They charge us $35 for it though...

12. Valencia/UCF Concurrent Spring 2019

    scobyroo replied to scobyroo's topic in School Programs

    Yeah, everything has been approved for me now except for the fit test (which is at orientation anyway) and the CPR certification, which I should be getting next week. Definitely keep your orientation reservation until we figure it out. The main reaso...

13. Valencia/UCF Concurrent Spring 2019

    scobyroo replied to scobyroo's topic in School Programs

    I'm not sure. I've been on that site, and when I signed up and put the concurrent program as my major, it tells me there are no sessions available. I called the student orientation office and they told me they haven't released the online orientation ...

14. Valencia/UCF Concurrent Spring 2019

    scobyroo replied to scobyroo's topic in School Programs

    Hey Shaybears, Have you been able to sign up for a UCF orientation slot yet? Everything is set up for the Valencia Nursing orientation, and the UCF nursing orientation (both on the same day) but we have to do a UCF general orientation as well (I've b...

    scobyroo replied to mluarte's topic in School Programs

    I received an acceptance email also, for the evening/weekend traditional program. I won't be accepting it though, because I am going to be doing the concurrent program; so there's another spot that'll open for someone else. Good luck everyone!
