   I suppose you could work during your last semester, if you were offered a position. But keep in mind, you still have 2 academic classes, plus your internship (which is ~380 hours total). 380 hours over less 15 weeks ends up being about 25-30 hours a ...

   IngridH.... The muni pass is not free, you have to order it and pay for it yourself. I don't think USF sells them during the summer semester. I think they are only available for fall and spring semesters, not for summer semester.

   laugh2013 - You take both CNL classes and Nursing classes at the same time throughout the 6 semesters. It's not split up. Does that make sense? Each semester you will have 3-4 nursing classes and 1-2 CNL classes. After the 5th semester, you sit for N...

   Yes I agree with mailnurse, you want multiple pairs of white scrubs. I had three pairs. You'll probably want to go to the scrub store and try them on because different brands fit differently depending on your body type. Not that white scrubs are flat...

   I know that people in my cohort have worn white dansko's. I've never worn dansko's, but FYI, from what I've heard, Dansko's are super uncomfortable at first, and you have to break them in.

   Coming from another current student in the program, you want leather shoes, if nothing else than for infection control/germ purposes. Leather is easy to wipe off. You'll thank me the second some bodily fluid accidentally spills on your shoes.

   @lolibear and @Madrid.navarro2sad8i. Yes, I don't even think I had to deal with the financial aid office. The directions were clear enough, that I just did everything online. I relocated from out of state for the program, so I ended up coming to San ...

   @Madrid.navarro2sad8i I wouldn't worry too much about buying a bunch of stuff right away. Since it's such short notice about acceptance and start dates, I would focus more on getting prepared to start school (i.e. financial aid, housing, transportati...

    @ingridh and @cyncyn... I applied to nursing programs all over the country. I applied to accelerated BSN programs and entry level master's programs. USF was the first school where I was accepted. Personally for me, I just wanted (and still do) want t...

    I'm a current student in the program. Good Luck to everyone who applied. I'm happy to answer questions if you have any. But yes, when I was accepted, I didn't have much notice either, and I had to relocate from out of state, but I made it happen.

    I am from California. I had 1-2 weeks notice for my interview, so I flew out on a Wednesday, Interviewed Thursday, and flew home Friday. It's stressful, but if you're serious about the job, it's worth it!!

    I received a job offer. I would start in July. For those of you relocating, what are your plans for housing? Also, for anyone who lives in Durham, what are some neighborhoods I should consider living in?

    Same with me. Two weeks after I submitted my application, I was extended an invitation to interview.
