Hi! I also applied!

I'm curious about the format as well. Trying to figure out if I will still be able to work at least part-time.

Please let us know if you find out! I have been posting this question on other FAU forums but haven't had any responses.

Hi I have also applied! I also applied to a lot of different schools as well but my TEAS score was not strong enough. I will be applying to USF too if I do not get in!

From my understanding from various threads from other nursing schools, it's highly recommended not to work as an accelerated program is more condensed with the curriculum. But, after your first semester of nursing school, you do get your CNA certification and nursing students like to work as a CNA part time to get a feel of the clinical environment.

We both were curious about the format of the program like are the lectures online or do you have to physically be on campus for the lectures. A lot of ABSN programs have the lectures online and you only have to be physically present for labs and clinicals. I think that's why she was asking about working seeing if there's more flexibility.

I went to an info session. The lectures for the ABSN are not online. You have to physically go to lectures. That could change for some classes they said based on the availability of the professors but as of now they are all on the Boca campus. But, for clinical they try to place you in a hospital they are affiliated with close to where you live, which is really cool. So for example if you live in Jupiter and they are able to get clinical spots at Jupiter Medical Center, they will try and place you there in clinical as opposed to Boca Regional.

How soon after the deadline do you think they'll send out interview invites?? I know the tentative dates are April 16-19th.

Chere said that 2 weeks after the application closes, notices will be sent out to all applicants.

I think they said around 80. And then from that group, roughly 40 or so are accepted. There is also a waitlist and she said in the past, people have been pretty courteous and that they will notify the school right away if they have decided on another program once acceptances are sent out. So that gives FAU the ability to then notify waitlist students and offer some more acceptances right away.

Also about interview invitations, I think it's 2 weeks after application deadline when they send acceptances. So for this admissions cycle, that would be March 29. And they just send an email to you.
