  1. NCLEX 2014/Kaplan

    Go Knights posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey everyone! I wanted to start a thread for those taking NCLEX soon, whether this summer or simply sometime this year. I'm actually taking mine within the upcoming week! **activate panic mode now**...

  2. NCLEX 2014/Kaplan

    Go Knights replied to Go Knights's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think all of you are definitely ready to conquer NCLEX. I found out today that I passed at 75 questions! I think Kaplan does a decent job preparing you for the exam and types of questions and their...

    Go Knights replied to Go Knights's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Skittles, your scores are great! You are definitely more than ready if Kaplan is any indication of our success, which it is! I completely agree, as my professors said, you'll never feel ready for...

    Hi! I just wanted to start a thread for everyone that is applying for UCF's BSN program which will begin this Fall, 2012. I think this would be a great place for everyone to share their concerns,...

  7. UCF 2013 Fall-Orlando generic BSN applicants?

    Go Knights replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes, the website was their old policy. Last year we didn't have to complete the background check until after we were temp accepted. Their system this year for acceptance is much more thorough I think...

  8. UCF 2013 Fall-Orlando generic BSN applicants?

    Go Knights replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    For clinical sites, they all differ and again is random on which you're assignment to. You could live right next to a hospital, yet you get assigned to another one. It's kind of silly. But, first...

  9. UCF 2013 Fall-Orlando generic BSN applicants?

    Go Knights replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey all! I know the nerves are definitely still there. As someone already answered, we have no control over when our classes are! They literally assign everything. Clinicals are almost always Thursday...

    Go Knights replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    The uniforms are a little expensive, like 20 for a shirt then 30 for the pants (you have to wear them to clinicals obviously but also the days that you have lab)...but you all are lucky. We have an...

    Go Knights posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi everyone! Right now I am in undergrad, finishing a BSN nursing program. I am pretty sure that I would like to continue to grad school shortly after graduating (perhaps a few years after some work...

  12. UCF 2013 Fall-Orlando generic BSN applicants?

    Go Knights replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    MamaKate, yes they have a very high percent pass rate for the NCLEX, so they definitely prepare us; however, NCLEX is raising the score required to pass this April, so the pass rate will likely lower...

    Go Knights replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    Nursowiczka2b, it's been going really well so far! Obviously a ton a hard work and very time consuming, but the professors are wonderful and clinicals are the best part of each week with a variety of...

  14. UCF 2013 Fall-Orlando generic BSN applicants?

    Go Knights replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    For the basic program last year, when I applied, they said at orientation that over 700, nearly 800 people applied to the basic program, but a lot of people do get "thrown out" immediately because of...

    Go Knights replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    Good luck everyone! I was in your shoes last year, except not having to go through the whole interview process. I am currently in the program, and I can reassure you that although waiting is terrible...

    Go Knights replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    Unfortunately, I don't; we are all curious about it as well actually because this is the first year they're doing it! My impression is don't stress out about it. I think just gpas and teas scores are...

    Go Knights replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    No problem ginune00! That's a great TEAS score don't worry! Good luck! MamaKate, I'm not positive because I was already at UCF when I applied, but you need to take the TEAS some where else because you...

    Go Knights replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    Your class schedule all depends on the labs you're assigned to. Typically, you have lectures three days a week mon-wed and then clinicals thursday and friday. The lecture days aren't too bad, like...

  19. UCF 2013 Fall-Orlando generic BSN applicants?

    Go Knights replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    The first semester isn't too bad. It's a lot of busy work and just getting use to managing your lecture and lab schedule with your clinical schedule. The second semester, spring, is suppose to be the...

    Go Knights replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi everyone, I don't want to intrude on your thread, but wanted to comment considering I was in your exact same position last year. I am currently in UCF's BSN program, and I also started a thread on...

  21. UCF Fall 2012

    Go Knights replied to Go Knights's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't want to argue with anyone, but in defense of UCF, I am currently in UCF's program, and I think it is a wonderful experience. Yes, it is hard work and a lot of time and dedication, but you're...

    Go Knights replied to Go Knights's topic in Florida Nursing

    Pricesspriya11, yes our orientation is in the middle of August, but I believe it is just for UCF BSN students only. The concurrent programs don't share the same orientation. Congrats to

    Go Knights replied to Go Knights's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't know for sure, but I think we will rec more info about supplies and textbooks and uniforms after we've completed the background check, drug test, and everything. Once that is all clear and...

  24. UCF Fall 2012

    Go Knights replied to Go Knights's topic in Florida Nursing

    I think it would be best if you guys started a new thread! Not that we don't want to help you configure your chances for applications or relax your nerves about the process, but we all still have a...

  25. UCF Fall 2012

    Go Knights replied to Go Knights's topic in Florida Nursing

    Once you apply to the program, you'll see that they only look at very few things. You can even attend an information session, and they'll tell you that they look at your TEAS score, overall GPA, and...
