Hey everyone! I recently got a job in the CVICU as a PCT part time while I'm in my BSN nursing program :) So far I love the environment of the ICU and the manager and staff are so sweet. I still have a year and a half to go before graduation and real...

Thank you for your responses! Guess I'll just have to wait till then! But your right, it would be great review, so no harm done :)

I dont know why but I feel like taking a public health minor might be a waste of time...even after i get all A's in the fall...im not sure if that would be enough to bring my gpa up to a 3.9 to be "competitive enough" for them :/ and i'de have to wai...

The only other school I looked into is south university in tampa, they are accredited and offer a bsn. I think ill get in there however the tuition is 80,000 dollars...after financial aid and scholarships itll cost me 50,000 dollars worth of loans I...

Unfortunately i did not get in :( i had a almost a 3.8 overall with one b (in gen chem)...i worked very hard on my personal statement and volunteered soooo much (clinics, cancer facilities, etc)...i just feel like it was pure luck, dont know what e...

Congrats on getting in!!! :DI think they are still being transmitted because it still says committee for me :/ wonder if that's a good thing?

Ya I know what you mean! If only we would find out in May or sometime around then to make earlier preparations in case we need to change our majors or go to other nursing schools...As for finding a place if you get in, yes it does suck that it is las...

Hi Adc719, I applied for Fall as well. My Gpa is the same as yours and GPA is a big part, especially your pre-req one. However since they changed the admissions last semester, GPA is no longer the only deciding factor. People last semester had gpa's ...

Wow! thats really quick for the amount of applications they recieve. Do you know if last year's fall class had the same deadline as this year's. Makes me worry if they are actually going to read my Personal statement or skim right through it.

Got this email few days ago: Thank you for your application to the Fall 2011 Upper Division program. We have reviewed your application and have determined that your pre-requisite courses are met and that your GPA meets the minimum to be considered. T...

Truthfully most BSN programs in my area are so competitive and don't accept applications with that GPA. I would call your advisor at your school and see what they think. Maybe there is a writing assignment portion you could excel in to make up for yo...

Hey llr26, I didn't study at all and got around an 80 percent. It kind of felt like the SAT but easier. I only took the teas because the backup school I am applying to requires it and they arent really competitive. However, if it was required for the...

Really worked hard this fall and spring to bring my gpa up. Got a 4.0 in both semesters:D

Not too bad. I remember last summer I took General Chemistry in Summer A which was every week Monday through friday all starting at 8 am plus the lab after. Now I am taking Pathophysiology and have an exam basically every week. I hate taking summer b...

I dont like mine at all they are all white top and bottom and some are kinda see-through.

I would go for the RN since you have half your pre-reqs. The reason I chose to go straight for my bachelors is because I too am still young and I wanna finish with school and get a degree before getting married/etc. and having more responsibilities. ...

My pre-req GPA is 3.88 All A's and a B in gen Chem. My overall gpa is a little lower because of courses I took during high school. I will be applying for this fall but feel very discouraged because I didn't expect it to be soo competitive. My school ...

This is such an inspirational post :) I am also applying to a school that seems "impossible" to get into. I just keep reminding myself that its not the end of the world if I dont get in and try to find a way to de-stress myself while I wait :S

I found your article to be really interesting. I'm sorry you had a bad experience w/ ur preceptor. I am a nursing student myself and I hope I get a nurse who is as interested to teach me as I am to learn.

I really liked your article; its very inspiring. I loved reading and thought it was nicely written. Thanks for sharing :)

I liked your post and understand your frustration. Thanks for sharing :)

Thanks! Congrats on getting into UCF! :yelclap: its a good thing u checked with them...u never know what'll happen with the amount of applicants they get :S

Great article! really informative :)

Hi everyone! I will be applying for fall 2011 as well. My gpa is a 3.79 ( because of courses i took during high school that had nothing to do with nursing or the pre-reqs :smackingf ) all A's in my pre-reqs with 1 B in Gen Chem. I am stressing out so...
