   Too bad in reality clinical instructors haven't been helpful. It is all about performing. Definitely don't ask any questions or they will think you are a dummy and make you pay!

   AVOID UCF AT ALL COSTS!!!! If you want to be abused, sign right up. Trust me. Not worth it.

3. Fired for expressing concerns about patient safety and care!

   gardyloo replied to hkrntobe's topic in Safety

   I've been fired more times than I care to admit. Not from nursing (I'm a student). Looks like the way the world works is the same in every place. I was the same way. A person who is not quiet. People don't like it. It doesn't matter if you are ...

   hkk1895 - did you have to pay for more books after the first semester? Any big ticket items beyond what you mentioned? Any good resource on their website that you could recommend that is nursing school fee specific?

   CER022512 - Yes, I am referring to financial aid. The financial award package specifically. That is for me, at least, since I am not attending orientation until April 20th. It might be different if you are attending the March 30th session, I am no...

   gardyloo replied to claytonrenee's topic in Florida

   I was surprised to see that only $6250 is the top amount per semester. Can't believe they won't tell us what we get until the end of April. How does one afford the rest of life while in this program and not being able to work? I guess a personal l...

   gardyloo replied to claytonrenee's topic in Florida

   Now comes the stress of paying for school while affording my life and not working. It is a little stressful, especially since I won't know what my financial aid package is until 2 weeks before school starts! And I can't seem to get a hold of anyone...

   Oh okay..thats cool. I think I should do it earlier though because of financial aid and getting things all straightened out. It seems important? lol I'm not really sure. Thanks hkk. So much to do so little time! :)

    gardyloo replied to claytonrenee's topic in Florida

    Gotcha. And that would cut into the general orientation time frame. Bummer! LOL Looks like I am coming to Mickey town twice. :)) Thanks again for your help. I've been having some trouble getting anyone live to pick up at their office, so your f...

    gardyloo replied to claytonrenee's topic in Florida

    I wonder if I can do the general orientation May 11th or if that would be cutting it too close. I don't live in Orlando and don't want to have to make a special trip.

    The nursing orientation date has not been announced yet, correct? And when it is announced it will be about a week before the first day of class? But we should reserve a spot for regular UCF orientation now, I take it.

    Oh! Okay. Yes, it does help. Although, I'm thinking we won't all be together? 60 students per class? Hmmm...

    gardyloo replied to claytonrenee's topic in Florida

    In the acceptance email it states which session you are accepted to. For me, it is session C. So, I was curious as to how many per cohort. I would imagine that since there is an A, B and C session, the 60 that were accepted would be broken into 3...
