yay you got in!:yeah:Congrats... your sophmore year is not too challenging its the junior year that sort of tripped me up in the Med surg course. The most expensive expense are text books. I may still have a few and I'll share if you need them. supplies I would suggest are many highlighters since you'll be reading a lot lol. Other than that you'll use many of the same things you used in pre nursing classes. Save up a little money to purchase your stethoscope this fall and your clinical uniforms maybe about $150. not many students have dropped but about 10 of my classmates failed our med surg course. So my class started with around 120 students and now around 100-110. I still manage to work part time while in school and its not too bad but I wouldn't suggest over 20hrs a week. There is a co-op program which you apply for during your senior year and we have a study abroad program which is also great. I hope I answered some questions congrats again!

Hey, well I'm at main campus and your GPA sounds really good keep it up! I was admitted into the program for the 2009-2010 school year so I'm a sophmore in the program. 160 students were admitted total I believe. About 120 of us are at main campus and the other 40 are at Clermont. Many scholarships are offered and you can apply online.

ok So I cant send private messages, but my GPA was only around a 3.5 and I think that was quite low compared to everyone elses.. So it was very competitive to get in and quite scary because I didn't know I got in until like a month before school. I think the cutoff GPA for my class was around a 3.4. But dont shoot for that, try to have around a 3.6 because every year the GPA cutoff gets higher and higher, for instance, the cutoff just a few years ago was only around 3.0-3.2. The program isn't bad once you get in and I would recommend applying for fall of 2011, it wont hurt. I would recommend you take your 2 CHEMS at Raymond Walters, dont dare take them at main campus. Those classes were brutal for me. I would recommend Prof. Stringfiel at Raymond Walters for CHEM. Oh yeah the GPA cut off for Clermont is usually lower than at the main campus, so to be safe when you apply, just check boxes for Clermont and Raymond Walters b/c it will increase your chances of being accepted into one of the colleges.. Hope this makes sense..sry its so long....

Yes hunni, you can get assistance while in school only. One of my classmates gets cash, medical and food assistance. You have to do what you have to do. I completely understand. And actually, if you did decide to work you can get childcare assistance, I know firsthand because this is what I use. I goes completely by your income. You will recieve vouchers, the state pays majority of the childcare fees while you pay only a portion. This is only temporary so dont feel ashamed for needing a little help.

Hello, I know I am replying late. I am a student in UC BSN program, (finally). I was also on Raymond Walters waitlist and I applied to Christ in 09 but did not get accepted. I'm so glad to hear you have so many options open. My advice is to go to the program that accepts you first. Its great to have your BSN but if you get into the ASN program first go for that and then just get your BSN in 9 months at UC, yes only 9 months. If you go this route you will have the opportunity to work while recieving your BSN. If I could do it all over again this is the route I probably would have taken. However, I went to the school that was the first to accept me and it just happened to be the UC's college of nursing. If you have any other questions please feel free asking.... GOOD LUCK WITH WHATEVER YOU DECIDE:D

Just wondering if anyone else has been accepted into U.C.'s BSN program... If so reply here!!!!

Wow this has been such a blessing to me! Praise GOD!

You have come so far! Be proud of that. Look at all of the things you have already accomplished to keep you level headed. Just keep going we know you will do better this time. Good Luck!

Wow, you sound well prepared already from the experience of helping your grandmother. There is a nice amount of reading in my class but it is very interesting info so it'll take no time for you to get done with the reading.

Wow, I am in this same situation. I completely understand where you are coming from on the length of BSN programs. I think the LPN program is a great idea, you're young so you can always go back to school when your son gets a little older.

I got my A in Anatomy 201 Baby!
