   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 all about the admission and money they can get. A...

    Piano-CelloRN replied to Minimalka's topic in Florida

    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 anything until now, they are doing something wrong. ...
