There’s pediatric rotations, and there’s no NICU but with L&D rotation there’s a chance you can be with the newborn nurse which is close enough. I loved my L&D rotation

Last year we received emails and then it updated in the portal

I would think around the 26th. The last two years they release decisions the last Friday of February. However, it may be different this year.

Also, not sure how set in stone this is but one my professors mentioned that fall 2021 will be in person again and not fully online

I’ve lived in Jax majority of my life. There’s nothing really interesting here LOL but it’s probably just me cause I’m so used to JAX. I would say the good spots are 5 points/riverside and the beach area. I love riverside area, there’s a lot of restaurants and bars there and it’s even better at night. A lot of the restaurants are really good and some are lowkey and hidden, which is what I love. I hardly go to the beach area but I know a lot of people love going over there.

I would say that this program is very hard but it’s doable. You have to learn how to manage your time properly, adapt to changes and change the way you think. In the beginning, I hated the program because everything we learned we had to teach ourselves and it was worse because of COVID. But once you get the hang of managing your time to do your assignments, it started to just flow. This program hasn’t been a walk in the park and you really have to know how to go with the flow and not get stressed out. Some cons include: you have exams every week and sometimes it seems like you’re just cramming the info without adequate time to prepare or fully understand the material because of all the assignments they have due a few days before the exam. I feel like this program is unorganized and I’m not sure if it’s because of COVID but I know it gets annoying when things are sprung onto you such as new courses to complete in five days when you have finals to study for, or added class work that requires you to spend money and etc. Also, be prepared to save enough money because they like to throw random things at you to buy. I recommend saving up to $1500 Pros: I’ve actually enjoyed being online although I hated it in the beginning, they’re a little more lenient than before especially when we had skills lab because there wasn’t any pressure to master to skill and have check offs. I love my cohort, we work together on a lot of things and you all should bond because it makes everything easier. Especially when you find a group of friends to do study guides together and do assignments, it allows you to have more time to study. Another pro is that its UF and we partner with UF Health, therefore majority of our clinicals is at UF health and they’re willing to teach you. Some friends I have in another program go to different hospitals and some of the nurses are rude or expect you to know everything. Also, I think because of COVID the HESI exams we take at the end of every semester didn’t allow us to fail out of the program like in previous cohorts if you didn’t make a certain score. That lightened a lot of our stress. In all, Although there’s a lot of kinks and quirks that need to be straighten out, I love it here. It’s really all about how you make it, you have to adapt and really manage your time. Our cohort had a groupme that reminded people of when assignments are due as well as a separate group to put study documents such as study guides, quizlets etc. Please make friends in this cohort, it’s vital to your survival in this program

The first time I applied, I put Jax and was denied. I put no preference this time and got in. Not saying there’s a correlation because it may be a coincidence but I think it increases your chances
-
Hey everyone! I’m a Jax student currently in the ABSN program. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
-
Yes I do think you should put either option, last year I applied and only selected Jacksonville and I didn’t get in, I applied again this year with not much of a difference in my application and but either campus, and I got in for Jax. It could be a coincidence but it happened for my friend as well.
