  1. New Grad considering quitting nursing

    scobyroo replied to Jacob's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for following up on your original post @Jacob. This is a really common post topic, but people often don’t post a follow-up, which from the perspective of readers makes it look like there’s...

  2. Valencia College ADN Spring 2019

    scobyroo replied to mluarte's topic in School, College Programs

    The way Valencia does it, is if you meet the requirements you will be guaranteed admission. There is a waitlist though for this reason, so when you apply and are accepted it generally takes at least a...

    scobyroo replied to mluarte's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi again, Those are great questions. I will say, questions about higher level nursing education are above my scope of knowledge and experience still being in the ADN program. I may be mistaken, but I...

    scobyroo replied to mluarte's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi Elsabeellie, I can't compare to Miami Mercy as I don't know anything about that program, but I can for Valencia. It's a difficult program, but we have a 100% NCLEX pass rate so it definitely...

    scobyroo replied to mluarte's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey CoeurCommeHepburn, I haven't heard anything other than that Valencia grads do well with finding work after graduating. I'm not sure how a Valencia degree looks to employers outside of the central...

    scobyroo replied to mluarte's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey guys, Suddenly I understand why threads always go dark once people start their programs.. I haven't been back on these forums in months; super super busy with school, but I'm just now finishing up...

  7. Valencia/UCF Concurrent Spring 2019

    scobyroo posted a topic in School, College Programs

    Hey guys, I'm starting a thread for anyone planning on applying to the Valencia/UCF concurrent nursing program for spring 2019. The applications open online in 10 days (but who's counting?!) I've also...

  8. Valencia/UCF Concurrent Spring 2019

    scobyroo replied to scobyroo's topic in School, College Programs

    I used a study guide to really focus on the math and English sections, since you can study the types of math problems and grammar structures that they're going to ask questions on. I'd say just keep...

  9. Valencia/UCF Concurrent Spring 2019

    scobyroo replied to scobyroo's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm not really sure what the schedule will look like, since we haven't had orientation yet. It is the Valencia West daytime nursing schedule with the addition of whatever UCF course we have that...

    I second that. Is there one

  11. Valencia/UCF Concurrent Spring 2019

    scobyroo replied to scobyroo's topic in School, College Programs

    Awesome! Yeah, after I registered and paid for the orientation they sent another email pointing out that this session counts as both the UCF nursing orientation and the UCF general orientation.. That...

  12. Valencia/UCF Concurrent Spring 2019

    scobyroo replied to scobyroo's topic in School, College Programs

    I just got an email from UCF orientation saying the session has opened up. It's the Nov 9th session we already knew about.. so we only have to sign up for that one, and not a separate online or UCF...

  13. Valencia/UCF Concurrent Spring 2019

    scobyroo replied to scobyroo's topic in School, College Programs

    Yeah, everything has been approved for me now except for the fit test (which is at orientation anyway) and the CPR certification, which I should be getting next week. Definitely keep your orientation...

  14. Valencia/UCF Concurrent Spring 2019

    scobyroo replied to scobyroo's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm not sure. I've been on that site, and when I signed up and put the concurrent program as my major, it tells me there are no sessions available. I called the student orientation office and they...

  15. Valencia/UCF Concurrent Spring 2019

    scobyroo replied to scobyroo's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey Shaybears, Have you been able to sign up for a UCF orientation slot yet? Everything is set up for the Valencia Nursing orientation, and the UCF nursing orientation (both on the same day) but we...

  16. Valencia College ADN Spring 2019

    scobyroo replied to mluarte's topic in School, College Programs

    I received an acceptance email also, for the evening/weekend traditional program. I won't be accepting it though, because I am going to be doing the concurrent program; so there's another spot that'll...

    If you have official documentation of the vaccine, you don't have to get a titer. They won't accept your word on it though, you have to provide documentation of one or the

  18. Valencia College ADN Spring 2019

    scobyroo replied to mluarte's topic in School, College Programs

    You can definitely get vaccines taken care of ahead of time. You will either need proof of the vaccine, or a titer showing that you have immunity. I've attached a link to the physical/immunization...

  19. Valencia College ADN Spring 2019

    scobyroo replied to mluarte's topic in School, College Programs

    You can get your immunization records in order, you'll have to start that once you get accepted anyway; may as well get a head

    Congrats Shaybears! I'll be seeing you at orientation

  21. Valencia College ADN Spring 2019

    scobyroo replied to mluarte's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey guys, The UCF-VCC concurrent program acceptances are starting to go out. I just got mine! That means the VCC traditional program acceptances shouldn't be too far behind. I think its usually a week...

    My status just changed to eligible, within the past hour or two! Looks like things are moving

  24. Valencia/UCF Concurrent Spring 2019

    scobyroo replied to scobyroo's topic in School, College Programs

    It does seem odd that we would hear in a week when SSC had an earlier application deadline, but that is when they have sent them out the past 2 years, so maybe Valencia just has a shorter turn around...

  25. Valencia/UCF Concurrent Spring 2019

    scobyroo replied to scobyroo's topic in School, College Programs

    Yeah, the spring 2018 VCC-UCF thread said acceptances went out Oct 11 and the 2017 thread said they went out Oct 10.. so it seems that UCF is pretty consistent with the acceptances. We should be...
