  9. Seminole State/UCF BSN Concurrent Program- Fall 2011

    jacksonleo replied to VAORRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    You are welcome. Sounds like a good plan. Just to clarify... not every week during the semester it will be like that. There are weeks that are easier where you might only have two days of classes....

    jacksonleo replied to VAORRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    You are going to have to be very flexible because every semester the schedule is different. They don't tell you the exact schedule because it depends on many factors, including professors...

    jacksonleo replied to VAORRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    jacksonleo replied to VAORRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Here is where it gets confusing: You can only get the polo shirt (which is your lab uniform) from Uniformity and you can only get the Clinical Shirt from Meridy's. Meridy's does have the pants and the...

    jacksonleo replied to VAORRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    I am not sure and if they do, it is not that often. You are better off going to the American Heart Association website, there is a search feature where you put in your zip code and it lists all of the...

    jacksonleo replied to VAORRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Any shoe that is completely white. Make sure that they do not have any logos on them and if they do, that they are very small and very light color... The FIT testing will be done once you guys get...
