BVP910

I will be attending Nova starting January. In order to apply for the baptist scholarship you first must be accepted into one of the nursing schools that offers the baptist scholarship. I believe the schools are Nova,Barry,MDC and Florida keys College. But yes first you must be accepted in the program.

Rhia and FlyingScot thank you so much for such awesome posts!

I went to Nova today and spoke to several girls there. I found out the lab coats run really big, so if your relatively small you should order the smallest ( i ordered a larger size thinking they were "normal" sizes). Then i stopped by the bookstore and the XS scrubs are huge!! lol. The lady told me if i order the scrubs online to give them a call after with the order number so they can make them into XS petite. Just thought you guys would like to know!

wow this i one of the most ridicolous things i have read! and how am i "pushing people off"? by not telling them the questions they asked me? fortunately the baptist interviewers are smarter than that and know there are people like you, who give other unfair advantages, so they change the questions. thank god for that!! how can you tell me i am what is wrong in this society? do you know me? no! i do agree with you, on the fact that if you get the scholarship it's because it was meant for you, however calling me selfish and self absorbed because im saying you shoud not be posting private questions is hilarious! if you come here and reveal private info, i question your ethics!! as a nurse you will be responsible for alot of personal information. seriously the last thing i want to do is argue, but anyone knows that what i wrote in my first post to you is only common sense and is only courteous to others who have interviewed before.

They did not ask me any of those questions! I personally thought the interview questions were much easier than the NOVA questions. BTW i would just like to say, that i dont think it is right you are actually posting the questions they asked. You do realize we are COMPETING for this? It is NOT right and very unfair to others that interviewed without having pre knowledge of the questions. Just thought that was obvious...

Smile Love, i also have my interview today! Sooo nervous!!!

Baptist is basically like a chain of several hospitals, very well known especially here in South Florida. With the Baptist program you take classes here in the Nova kendall campus and some i believe also in part of the hospitals. And yes the cover entire tuition as long as you work for three years for them. I do not believe there is a catch lol. Im going on my interview in 2 hours and im sooooo nervous, preparing what i will say and scared of the questions i cant predict they'll ask ! Im sure i will know alot more about exactly how it works once im done today..

yes there has been aloooooot of paperwork.

I took it back to Nova on Nov 30th (5th floor). They gave it to a woman that then takes them to baptist. I would say hurry though, because when i went to drop it off the woman thought i had missed the deadline but then they called the woman and said no that she was still accepting applications. Just turn it in as soon as you can.

ok thanx yes i called too and they told me the same thing. By the way if your curious on baptist, i have an interview with them on tuesday.

Who said their program is three years? Isnt in only 27 months? Thats only 2 years and 3 months.

the email said 3-4 classes per semester. Did anyone get their Shark link ID or email? because i put my info in (SSN and month and day of birth) and it says an error message.

Everyone who has been accepted check your emails!! They have sent out a lot of new information regarding the rest of the prcedures.

They called back my Baptist interview is on Dec 15! Anyway I paid my fees on the 30th and have not heard or received anything from Nova either..

Hey Liv, well i had missed the call but got the voicemail with a woman saying she wanted to schedule an appointment for a panel interview and to please call back. Well.. ive been calling all weekend and today but noone is picking up the line! It eventually goes to voicemail for the nursing scholarship but i cant leave a message cause the inbox is full. Soooooo frustrating!! I might go tomoroow in person because i dont want to miss this opportunity. Have you gotten a call?

Hey everyone, im considering the South Florida Baptist Scholarship program, where they pay for tuition in exchange of 3 years work commitment. I would like to know how is it working at a Baptist hospital? I have heard things such as you dont get much experience, it is not really a known hospital and that there are better hospitals out here in Miami. Any one have any experience with this? Or know anyone with any experience with Baptist hospital? Or currently in the program? Any insight would help. Thanx!

Well remember that they are still sending out letters and i have heard that they are very behind so dont worry much! Any way i read once i think somewhere on this site that the Fort Myers option doesnt offer the Baptist scholars program, and that was one of the reasons that on my application i put that i didnt want to be considered for it, but im not 100% certain. Either way you will surely get your letter next week. Oh by the way, when i turned in my baptist scholars application (which came with acceptance) the girl thought that i had missed the deadline. I was confused because i had done it as fast as i could so she called the lady in charge and the lady said she was still taking applications. But i get the feeling that it needs to be done ASAP, the reason i say this is because you have to send out some things with the baptist application. I will PM you with the things the Baptist application requires in case you get the application that way you can turn it in fast.

That man is disturbed.

No i applied to the Fort Lauderdale. How about you are you starting this January too? I heard that there is now the option to go to the Kendall campus if you live in Miami without getting the scholarship, so if for some reason i dont get the scholarship i would still like to go to the Kendall campus just because its so much closer to home.

Hey everyone i got a call to schedule my interview for Baptist scholarship!

Thank you!

I had my interview Oct 28, and my letter was dated Nov 13, but i received it Nov 20. You should probably receive something within the next few days.

Ughh i havent taken the time to read this entire thread but all i can say is this obsession with texting is my complete pet peeve!! Im only 21 so its not like im old fashioned or anything, it just seems nowadays everyone is sooo distracted by cell phones, most often young people. One of the things that drives me nuts is when im in class and literally half of the class is texting. SO disrespectful!!

Great, hope to see you there!

Thanks for the info!
