My guess is that they are just trying to fill up the space. UF nursing program is definitely trending down compare to decades ago where they actually teach and care about their students. Nowadays, its...

You will be the 4th cohorts in Jacksonville. Have you tour UCF campus? If yes, it might have much better resources than UF Jax. Go tour both places and make your decision that

One of the benefits being a UF Nursing student is that you are in the middle of two Level 1 trauma center in north Florida (UF Health Jax and Gainesville). Both hospitals will take preferences of...

Honest opinion? Both Jax and Gville students will tell you that they dont prepare us enough. It is "learn your own" kind of thing. Remember, UF has done this for a while, and if they have not fixed...

Guess they changed the requirement. I was doing 4 of the prereqs on the spring semester before nursing school start in May. Ohh well, and now I am 6 months away from finishing

DOnt remember when you start, just google UF course schedule 2017-2018. I think it will be May 14. But could be wrong. From what I heard, y'all will have two of the hardest courses combine into one...

Based on the information we received, it will be a total of 112 students for both Jax and GNV campuses. I am not sure if this number is correct, but this is what one of the dean

To be honest, I advise you all to think carefully before committing into this program. Speaking from experience, they do not care about you or your education. The professors do not prepare you enough...
