i am very sorry, but whoever says "melbourne, fl" is beautiful... must be hallucinating :chuckle if i see another pick-up truck... another cigarette... another foot out the window... i think i'm gonna loose it :lol_hitti

Thank you for the encouraging words Paco, I woke up today determined to keep going. I did think about the private school choice last night and I'm going for it if they'll let me start soon. Screw the money, I'll be in debt up to my eyeballs and I don't care as long as I can become an RN. Then I'll do RN to BSN right?? I had Keiser in mind as there are not many choices where I live (Melbourne, FL). Again, Thank you!!

Your GPA makes me sick

I applied to UCF's nursing spring 2010 program for Cocoa as a first choice, and Daytona as a second.... did NOT get into either program, the letter came in today. My GPA is 3.5 for God's sake!!!!! I've been crying all freaking day I really hope you had better luck. I've worked soooo hard for this. I feel pretty suicidal right about now. I actually called the undergraduate coordinator, as soon as I got the letter and she told me that the pool of applicants was very large with very high GPAs. I had spoken with a nursing advisor a few months back and he told me the cut off the previous year was about 3.3 for Cocoa!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the heck happened this year?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess I could... But we are talking $40,000+ for Keiser's associate RN degree vs. $6,000 for the other one!!!

LaurelRN08, How did you like the Palm Bay BCC program? I think I would actually rather go there over Cocoa. I live in West Melbourne... just wish Palm Bay had a "daytime" option... Thank you!

Thanks for the reply! I think you are right... where did you go for your RN?

Hi everyone, I know Keiser is very expensive, but I'm afraid I may have to consider it if I don't get in to the BCC, Cocoa (Brevard Community College) program for this year. I have most of my prereqs done, gone to group orientation, had the advisement session, have work experience, etc. But even with all that I barely get to "25" POINTS!! My question is: Is it even worth it for me to apply to the BCC nursing program? Given that you have to have at least 28 points to be considered? Anyone been accepted to BCC with 25 points or less? I have also heard is a "nasty" program... is it true? Any insight on the Melbourne Keiser RN program? It seems at least their schedule would be easier on my four year old girl... you know 8am to 1pm Monday through Friday instead of driving to Cocoa for a 6:30am start with BCC... Heck, I wouldn't even have to take her out of her preschool if I go to Keiser, but then there is the money issue with their tuition
