   sara566 posted a topic in Critical

   Hey everyone! I recently got a job in the CVICU as a PCT part time while I'm in my BSN nursing program :) So far I love the environment of the ICU and the manager and staff are so sweet. I still have a year and a half to go before graduation and real...

   Ya I know what you mean! If only we would find out in May or sometime around then to make earlier preparations in case we need to change our majors or go to other nursing schools...As for finding a place if you get in, yes it does suck that it is las...

8. USF 2011 Upper Division

   sara566 replied to adc719's topic in Florida

   Hi Adc719, I applied for Fall as well. My Gpa is the same as yours and GPA is a big part, especially your pre-req one. However since they changed the admissions last semester, GPA is no longer the only deciding factor. People last semester had gpa's ...

   sara566 replied to nurseprofile123's topic in Florida

   Wow! thats really quick for the amount of applications they recieve. Do you know if last year's fall class had the same deadline as this year's. Makes me worry if they are actually going to read my Personal statement or skim right through it.

12. How long did you study for TEAS?

    sara566 replied to llr26's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hey llr26, I didn't study at all and got around an 80 percent. It kind of felt like the SAT but easier. I only took the teas because the backup school I am applying to requires it and they arent really competitive. However, if it was required for the...

    sara566 replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Not too bad. I remember last summer I took General Chemistry in Summer A which was every week Monday through friday all starting at 8 am plus the lab after. Now I am taking Pathophysiology and have an exam basically every week. I hate taking summer b...
