Anyone applied to UF's accelerated BSN?

I applied to UF's accelerated BSN program for Summer 2009. The application deadline passed 2 weeks ago, and I am anxiously awaiting a reply. I hate waiting! If anyone has been through the program, I was wondering if you remembered when you found out if you got in or not. Is anyone out there also waiting to find out if you got into the program?

Hey Namo. My tuition is also about 1800, which is a relief.

Hi Guys,

Thank you for the information. I calculated more than $2000. Knowing that the summer tuition would be only $1,872.74 is a relief. Only weird thing is if I divide 1,872.74 by 14(our summer credit) the result is kind of weird: $133.76714, but

I am ok with this because I don't think ISIS makes a mistake :nono:...

So, it is better than I expected.

See you all on Friday :cheers:

With regards to how the tuition was calculated: $125.91 X 14 Credits =1762.74, NUR 3026C has a $56 course fee, NUR 3069C has a $54 course fee so...1762.74 + 56 + 54 = 1872.74.

Opppppppssssssss !!!!! :smackingf

Of course!!! Course fees!!!!!

Thanks Ashley...

See you on Friday :wink2:

You don't need any of the ebooks. They are EXACTLY the same as the text, only on a CD. So basically you are buying two of each book when you buy the box. Ridiculous? Yes. The only way this works is if there are two of you willing to split the price of the box and one gets the texts and one gets the ebooks....at least that's all I can think of.

Health assessment: yes. I don't remember using the access code though...

Pharm: not sure. You guys have a different professor than us. All we needed was a drug guide.

Skills: Yes. And the code.

Nursing diagnosis: You could probably get away with sharing this one. I managed to always "forget" to bring mine, even though I owned it, because who wants to haul that book around?? It was the only book we had to bring to class, other than the drug guide.

Concepts: I don't remember this book...but if it is for Essentials of Nursing it may be one of the books that you "need" but I never used.

I hope that helps. I base "need" on whether they assigned readings from the book and the material then actually ended up on the test.

But the Patho book is NOT needed (even according to the prof) and I'm glad they didn't put it in the box...though it's odd that the box is still the same price even without that huge book...

Hi again, I was assuming that the ebook was a CD you get with the book. If the ebook is separate and they want you to pay for both, that is yes very much ridiculous. Also, when you sign up for evolve with the access code, do you automatically get the ebook? If so I might just do that and not get the texts for those classes. Thanks again for all your help.

When we got the box they explained that the ebooks were just electronic copies of the book. And they were all on one CD together.

The access code is completely different than the ebook. The code just gives you access to a section of evolve's website that contains some review material and a couple quizzes that are part of your grade (but that you can take as many times as it takes to get 100%). If you buy the textbook new they usually come with an access code. If not, or if you pick up a used book, you can buy the access codes for like 60 bucks from half.com (make sure the access code is the most current edition, even if you got an old book).

Isn't today the orientation day? I hope to be in your shoes one year from now, but eager to hear all about everyone's first day @ UF. Good luck to you all :D
