  1. SPC fall 2011 nursing program

    dp133 replied to spc_student's topic in Florida Nursing

    Every semester is different but I'd say since both of you are in the top ten your odds are pretty good. For the fall of 2010 alternates in the low 20's made it (but I don't think that happens very...

    dp133 replied to h20bug's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm currently in the program and the myth that everyone has a 4.0 is just that, a myth. Every semester is different but a rule of thumb would be a GPA of 3.7 (Using their calculator, they only look at...

  6. SPC fall 2011 nursing program

    dp133 replied to spc_student's topic in Florida Nursing

    Nursing is a second degree for me as well but my BS is in Communications so I needed ALL of the pre-regs.... They don't look at your CUM GPA, they calculate your GPA from the pre-regs and support...

  7. SPC fall 2011 nursing program

    dp133 replied to spc_student's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't know for certain but most have everything done prior to acceptance. The number of completed courses carry more weight than your GPA when it comes to getting in. Classes completed = 60% GPA=...

    dp133 replied to spc_student's topic in Florida Nursing

    dp133 replied to VKF3's topic in Florida Nursing

    Haimyem, Happy New Year. Yes, it's amazing and unfortunate how competitive these programs have become. You really shouldn't need to be a straight A student to become a nurse... Anyway, first semester...

  11. Anyone else applying for fall 2010 SPC nursing program?

    dp133 replied to haimyem's topic in Florida Nursing

    Leighfl, congrats on starting the program. Are you doing days or nights? I wouldn't say A's are unattainable. The grading scale is tougher as you need a 92% for an A but people do get A's. With that...

    dp133 replied to haimyem's topic in Florida Nursing

    So this thread hasn't been active in a little while but I wanted to post and see how everyone's first semester went? Mine went pretty well but I think I'll enjoy level two more. I know it will be more...

    dp133 replied to Callie Martinez's topic in General Students

    I just wanted to add that depending on what state you live in there may not be any educational requirement to become a CNA (other than possibly a HS diploma). In Florida for example anyone can...

    dp133 replied to VKF3's topic in Florida Nursing

    dp133 replied to spc_student's topic in Florida Nursing

    Not sure if you've already found your answer but I'm currently in the nursing program and didn't supply any documentation regarding me living in Pinellas County. I realize you're concerned about the...

  16. University of South Florida Accelerated BSN

    dp133 replied to *PaintedSky*'s topic in Florida Nursing

    dp133 replied to *PaintedSky*'s topic in Florida Nursing

    Well, I got my SOAR email today at 5:32 but it wasn't the news I wanted to hear. I'm not sure if all the notices are sent at the same time but if you didn't get an email you can log into SOAR and then...

  19. University of South Florida Accelerated BSN

    dp133 replied to *PaintedSky*'s topic in Florida Nursing

    24 could be the correct number. A current CON student told me they try and create clinical groups of 12 so there may only be two groups on the accelerated program. I had heard there were 36 seats from...

    dp133 replied to *PaintedSky*'s topic in Florida Nursing

    dp133 replied to *PaintedSky*'s topic in Florida Nursing

  23. Anyone applying to USF for fall 2010?

    dp133 replied to afrancis's topic in Florida Nursing

    These programs have gotten VERY competitive so it may be tough getting in with a 3.1, but as long as you meet the minimum requirements you should definitely apply. Be sure you're researching as many...
