    UNF Summer 2011 Accelerated BSN Hopeful

    PacoUSA replied to kheldenb's topic in Florida Nursing

    That would prob defeat the purpose of the interview. I think they do it the way they do it so that the shining stars are more evident. Those that really deserve to be in the program will have prepared...

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in Florida Nursing

    I kinda wish it were more .... that way there would be more hope for us that did comply with that requirement! I took care of that APG petition in the fall, I knew that would be a pain so I got it...

    UCF Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    PacoUSA replied to jenniferpnts's topic in Florida Nursing

    Does that number seem kind of low for UNF, especially these days? I remember @ the info session they mentioned getting something like 2,000 applications in prior years but they end up weeding out many...

    How To Survive (and Thrive) In Nursing School

    PacoUSA replied to 86toronado's topic in General Students

    I don't know how true that "C equals degree man, don't sweat it!" is today ... especially when the trend is having potential employers request transcripts sometimes. However, this was an excellent...

    Is anyone confident about getting into Nursing School?

    PacoUSA replied to Student4_life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know people get impatient about waiting sometimes, but once that application leaves your hands, it's all in the hands of the school you're applying to. Convince yourself that you have done...

    PacoUSA replied to FLhusker's topic in Florida Nursing

    You're talking to a New Yorker here, one who is pretty much still a subway kid @ heart and still can't get used to driving everywhere after 5 years here. I don't mind so much long drives, as I can...

    PacoUSA replied to FLhusker's topic in Florida Nursing

    That's a pretty long haul from DAB to UNF a couple of times a week. I live near you as well, and just the thought of driving up the morning of the interview from here was enough to motivate me to get...

    PacoUSA replied to wannabeanRN90's topic in General Students

    Is anyone confident about getting into Nursing School?

    PacoUSA replied to Student4_life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, you are OK with just nutrition outstanding. They require at least 5 out of the 8 prereqs be completed by the time you apply (3 of these 5 should be A&P, micro or chem). The nutrition however...

    Have you been accepted to more than one nursing program?

    PacoUSA replied to Cathylady's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only schools for which I am aware of this being true are the colleges in the City University of New York (CUNY). Otherwise, no - one may apply as transfer students into a nursing program...

    PacoUSA replied to Cathylady's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    PacoUSA replied to kheldenb's topic in Florida Nursing

    Does anyone know the hospitals in the JAX area that UNF contracts with for clinicals? Is Wolfson Children's one of those sites? I am pretty sure Shands and Mayo are two sites as well, but not 100%...
