Monsoon

Hey ya’ll! Sorry for my late response. Thanks for sharing, Lauren! That’s real good to know. Dang, thank goodness you’re okay with your statistics class! I would have freaked out too, yikes! ? Lord, I’m so over this wait... ? Like you, I’m ready to either celebrate or get the disappointment over and done with because I just can’t anymore with this stress and anxiety. I printed my application out and I keep looking over it every single day such as reading over my answers and resume. I know, it’s so sad that it’s come to that point... LOL ? IDK, I have a solid GPA and substantial work experience, but the only thing that I’m really worried about is my HESI score on the math section because I simply blew it. I’m hoping they see that the only area I need to improve on is ONLY the math section and that I do have the opportunity to retake it prior to graduation. I just need to study the math a little more, that’s all so PLEASE don’t take this opportunity away from me and make me wait another year just to reapply!! ???? I am too SO FREAKIN’ ready to start a new life for myself and for my hubby. We don’t have kids yet, but are planning to start a family after I graduate and I want to be able to provide my future kids with a better life than I had growing up. I want this more than anything and I am SO ready to work hard to finally became an RN. I am praying hard every single day for all of us and for our families to have this better life we ask for in the name of Jesus, Amen! ??

Yeah, UF is my only option because Santa Fe College has a silly point system that doesn’t really benefit me despite my work experience and previous studies. If I don’t get into UF, I’m probably going to have to wait another year to reapply because I cannot just pick my life up and move out of Gainesville to go elsewhere. Not to mention, but to have my hubby quit his job for an entire year when he will be our only source of income since this program does ask us to not work throughout the duration of enrollment which really isn’t an option for us. I pray that all of us in this message thread are admitted. ????? I seriously cannot believe it’s only February 4th! Ahh, this is taking way too long to find out! ? I’m just anxious, excited, and impatient all in one, LOL! Have you guys heard anything from your advisors? Any news in confirmation of your application materials? Any clues on how you know if you’re admitted? LOL ? Good luck!!

Hi Lauren! I’ve been checking my status back and forth every single day! It really has been a long and stressful couple months in waiting to hear back. I did both undergrad and graduate studies at UF in Public Health. My undergrad GPA is 3.65 and my graduate GPA is 3.30, but fortunately, they will only be looking at my undergrad GPA, thank God! ? Yeah, I only applied to UF in Gainesville because I refuse to have my husband leave his job to move elsewhere. My HESI score was low, I scored 74 overall because my math was weak! Every other topic I scored between 84-96. My math score was a 46 which brought me down a lot! ?? Fortunately, I have been working for UF Health for 3 years as a Clinical Program Manager, so I’m praying my work experience and education will outweigh my HESI score. Your GPA is VERY competitive, I’m sure you’ll get in. Also, nurses need to be good educators, so your background in teaching will definitely be useful. And, it’s math! Math is definitely needed everyday in the medical field, especially when you’re trying to give a patient the right dosage level, math is a gift. You’ve got this!!

Hey guys! I am really freaking out because this is the month we should all be FINALLY hearing back if we’re admitted! IDK if anyone’s heard anything back from the college or the ABSN advisor, but please share details if you have! ? I have a friend that also applied to the program and she said the ABSN adviser told her that no news is good news if you don’t hear anything back sooner than the end of February because apparently, those who do not get admitted will know sooner than those who are. IDK how accurate that is, but it’s what my friend shared with me based upon her meeting with the advisor back in Summer 2020. How’s everyone else feeling about this? I have been experiencing such high levels of stress and anxiety during these past few weeks. Knowing that whatever the decision is, it will be life changing for me. I’ve been waiting for this moment patiently for 3 years and I am praying so hard each day to be admitted. I wish everyone the best of luck and I pray that you all are admitted into the program for Summer 2021. In the mean time, let’s keep this discussion thread alive until the end of the month! ?
