I will dig deeper into this later but it seemed to me that Remington and UCF carried the same accredidation. From what I have heard getting the job is not an issue but I don't know about masters....

Basic is my back up too but now not so sure. Remington was my third choice due to cost. But then I thought hmmmm Basic won't get out till May 2015. Remington might cost $15,000 more but will get...
What I was told from the information session I attended at UCF is that to be competitive you need a 3.5 cum. and your prereq GPA should be higher. TEAS should be at least an 85. Perhaps retake some...

My kids are 9 and 5 but split between their dads and my house. Most of my study time will be when they are with dad or asleep. There won't be much time on weeknights for study groups if we are out...

I can breathe a slight sigh of relief from today and now start the new stress over practicing my INTERVIEW QUESTIONS!!! I feel with all the hurdles thus far I can't mess up in
akwildone replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing
First I'm going to let them resolve it with the right outcome. If they do not, then I will unleash the fury! Have to be careful. I don't want to cause a ruckus and get blacklisted! LOL From you...

Honestly it is ridiculous. Mistakes like that should be few and far between and it sounds like they are far too common. I'm amazed that there were not one but two critical mistakes on my...

So here's the scoop (as I know it) on my missing invitation. I'm telling you guys because you might actually understand what is invested into getting into this program and how it ties to your dreams...

Cum GPA: 3.5 Prereq GPA: 3.9 TEAS 89.3 See not far off. I'm still hoping for the best but at the same time I trust God's plan in all this and perhaps he thinks the basic program is better for me. I...

I have not gotten an interview invite yet either and will be calling them to verify. Honestly I believe my GPA and TEAS is aligned with those that I've seen mentioned on here that got interviews....
akwildone replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing
just curious what are the times of the interviews? and do you get to pick or did they assign? Someone somewhere said it was only like 20-30 min but if they are only doing 4 slots maybe longer this...
akwildone replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing
well tomorrow is another day! I will just hope they had a big stack and only got partway through it. Based on everything they told us I should get an interview. And from my notes from the info...
akwildone replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing
Ok, were the invites in your UCF e-mails??? Still nothing.... stressing out! Honestly I haven't really thought that I might not get one but you never know how "smart" the other applicants are or how...

I know about the titers but the costs really add up especially if u end up needing the vaccine anyway!! I need one vaccine just for manditory form so hoping for a comprehensive list from con so I can...
akwildone replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing
Ya, wasn't even sure if we get an "or not" e-mail. It almost sounds like they will invite you for an interview or never contact you again. LOL But then I think they'll get lots of calls. Hopefully...

DAK - I had a similar experience a couple weeks back, saying I didn't meet minimum requirements and after hours of back and forth got it resolved. I was a simple miscommunication from admissions but...
I'd love to hear from any of you who just started in July. Maybe you are too slammed with school to answer! I'm shooting for Jan. 2013 and want to know as much as possible because I feel it's hard...
