So just as a side question, does everyone have some sort of medical background? I was a phlebotomist for a very short period of time (3 months), and was on track to do a nursing program in Iowa, where I am from, before I moved to Florida. There we were required to be CNAs before we could start the program. Just curious as to everyone's background - also what undergrads everyone has. My undergrad was in Spanish/Italian so I had to do ALL the sciences to get in. Just curious to see how diverse we all are!

I am nervous too gatorkf! I have only been to the campus once for the information session. I will be commuting from Melbourne (anyone else?!?) so I am nervous about parking, traffic, etc... If anyone is planning on commuting like me - let me know and if our schedules match up, perhaps we could carpool. I am nervous about losing time in the commute, but hopefully it will all work out. I just joined, so I am catching up on posts - I look forward to meeting everyone too! As a side note - anyone going to the transfer orientation on April 2? I will be there and hopefully will get to meet some of you!

I was thinking about getting the insurance too, but I am wondering if a limited benefits insurance would be sufficient? I used to use GoBlue Insurance when I first moved to Florida. It doesn't cover meds or anything like that, but I was suprised by how much it DOES cover, and it is only $50 for two months. You can tack on an additional $50/month (I believe) to have limited hospital benefits as well. I was planning on calling the College of Nursing tomorrow to see if this would be a possibility, as I would love to not have to pay a large monthly premium. Do you know if loans can be applied to the UCF insurance?
