I just got an email notification that I have been officially ACCEPTED into FSU for the fall!!!

Anyone on here attending? Seems like most of you were hoping for elsewhere.

Hi, I wanted to know what your schedule/courseload is like with the accelerated program. I'm considering applying to the program in the future. Any insight would be appreciatedí ½í¸Š

It's pretty intense to be honest. I have a full load. No free time at all. Thank goodness it's only temporary.

@ _zoubisoubisou_ ,

How do you feel the traditional BSN compares to the accelerated? I am desperate to get some information about the traditional program.

_zoubisoubisou_ · May 22, 2015

I'm not in that program, but we do have a few classes with them. they have a decent workload as well, but they also have more free time than the accelerated. It's doable..

Do you have any tips or advice for buying the uniforms, books, stethoscope, etc.? I just got the information packet emailed to me today.

_zoubisoubisou_ · May 23, 2015

I'd buy the uniforms from the local shop they recommend, Helen's Uniforms. There are special patches they sew on and that shop is accustomed to new FSU nursing students. As for the stethoscope and other items, you can get everything either at Helen's or online. Buy a penlight, and a BP cuff (although I very rarely use my own BP cuff now since most of the hospitals use the machines, but you'll need it to practice in the beginning). Books depend on the instructors. I only used 2 of the many, many books we were told we should purchase. Def buy your med-surg book, other than that I didn't really use them, but a lot of people did. Guess it depends if you're a reader or not, I'm not.

Thank you so much for all the info!

Do I really need two scrub tops and pants? Do the shoes have the be COMPLETELY white?

When do clinicals actually start? How prepared did you feel going into clinicals? How does the KAPLAN testing work? How does the schedule work? In other words, are there several professors that teach the required courses we can choose from or are you put into either one class or the other?
