  1. UNF BSN 2018

    idkmybffjill posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    I figured I'd start a topic for UNF since I haven't seen a thread yet and the summer 2018 application dates are coming up

  2. Talk to someone for free??

    idkmybffjill replied to Losa's topic in General Students

    Either way, I would suggest checking out the resources provided by your school, whether you are currently enrolled in high school or college. If you are in high school, talk with your guidance...

  3. A&p1

    idkmybffjill replied to Andrea08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took both of my A&P courses as hybrid ones, and I liked it that way. Of course, my professor ended up using our physical "lab" time each week as more of a lecture time with some small labs every...

  4. I need some help..

    idkmybffjill replied to jeffroudbai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with everyone previous. You need to focus on your classes first and foremost and scale back on everything else. If you don't meet the minimum GPA, you won't even be considered for admission....

  5. Taking classes

    idkmybffjill replied to anxfut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally think it is attainable, especially if you already have good study habits and time management skills and don't have to work full time. While I took my A&P2 and Micro in a fall semester...

  6. A&P 1 and 2 in 8 Weeks??

    idkmybffjill replied to angel0309's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't touch a four-week A&P class with a ten-foot pole. There's just way too much information to learn and understand in each course that you can't properly get in that time. A&P is the...

  7. Is Getting a BSN Worth It?

    idkmybffjill replied to jasj's topic in General Students

    My suggestion is to sit down and figure out what you really want and what is possible. Think about if you want to continue trying to get a job in marketing. Is this something you will regret not...

  8. Questions About Accelerated BSN Programs

    idkmybffjill replied to MW24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's going to depend a bit on the specific program. Usually, you'll have to at least have most of the prereq courses done before you apply, but some require all prereq classes be completed. Each...

  9. How do they calculate your GPA?

    idkmybffjill replied to MJ 0990's topic in General Students

    It depends on the program, but usually when it says "GPA" without any qualifiers, it's talking about the GPA of all courses you have taken. So it would consider what GPA you have with both the courses...

  10. entrance essay.. "what does being a nurse mean to me?"..thoughts?

    idkmybffjill replied to Klow30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My main advise: -You need a bit more focus in the essay. Each paragraph should have one main point and everything should lead back to it. Each paragraph should also cumulative into one obvious...

  11. Accelerated BSN + Second Degree Programs Florida

    idkmybffjill replied to AUeb97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'd be able to apply for regular BSN programs and ADN

  12. Accelerated BSN + Second Degree Programs Florida

    idkmybffjill replied to AUeb97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's UNF, UCF, USF, FSU, and UF. I'm sure there are quite a bit of private college programs as well. You'd have to research to see what the average stats of those accepted to see what your chances...

  13. Finally took Teas!, but...

    idkmybffjill replied to misspy's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    How competitive has the program been historically in regard to GPA and such? If there's generally a lot of applicants and the GPA of those accepted is generally high, I would probably hedge my bets...

  14. Reference Letters

    idkmybffjill replied to clf1926's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the only way "around it" is if you worked under some of those friends or volunteered under them. I wouldn't get a family member to be my reference regardless though. The issue becomes that...

  15. Will I be paying too much tuition for my ABSN?

    idkmybffjill replied to nepenth3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If that's the only feasible ABSN program near you (or there is no lower cost programs around), then I'd probably go with an ADN or regular BSN program personally. 50k is a lot of money, and for me, an...

  16. In need of help. Failed teas 6

    idkmybffjill replied to Ashleyreagan2323's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Have you looked at your score reports to see which areas/topics you have missed questions on? I'd probably print those out to see if there are topics you are consistently having an issue with and...

  17. When to start studying TEAS

    idkmybffjill replied to taurnxkd's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I think I started studying like a month and half beforehand to give me time to slowly go through the material again and review. There's loads of resources out there if you Google for them. There's at...

  18. Decisions

    idkmybffjill replied to EMikaelson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think there is much of a good argument for getting a bachelor's degree in bio if you aren't going to need it and already know you want to go into nursing. Why waste time and money on a degree...

  19. A&P 1 AND 2

    idkmybffjill replied to mitcheml98's topic in General Students

    Use the loads of A&P videos out there to solidify and understand certain topics. There should be a video for pretty much anything. There's also video series like Crash Course A&P that give a...

  20. Nursing, engineering or comm degree?

    idkmybffjill replied to Breegall93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Perhaps take one of the needed science courses and try shadowing a nursing or volunteering at the hospital to ensure nursing is what you want to do. You may need to put some time and energy into...

  21. Question about RN

    idkmybffjill replied to Bmike23's topic in General Students

    You'll only have a BSN if you are going into a BSN program (or a program where you get a BSN on the way to a masters). Your first degree doesn't matter beyond you already having maybe some gen ed...

  22. Didn't Get In To Nursing School?

    idkmybffjill replied to jcsluvv's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you maybe in a super saturated area? All I can think is that the other candidates just had higher stats. Or there's something else that counts against

  23. adn/bsn app debacle...

    idkmybffjill replied to ami.625's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, even with that information, I'm finding your timeline confusing (in regard to a fall 2018 start for nursing school when prereqs won't be done for a year, but it not being a four-year program...

  24. adn/bsn app debacle...

    idkmybffjill replied to ami.625's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll need to contact the programs you're interested in to see their requirements. Different programs require different things and allow you to apply at different points. Some you will have to...

  25. Should I earn my ASN and then get BSN or go straight to the BSN?

    idkmybffjill replied to hannahmarie0116's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    These are always highly personal decisions and will depend a lot of what your priority is. Is your ultimate goal to get into the workplace and be financially independent sooner? In which case, an...
