Well first semester is the most expensive.. textbooks can run up to $1000 if you buy them brand new and in the package that the bookstore sells. The required ati package is $408, but I'm pretty sure the price goes up another $50 if you don't pay for ...
Congrats! I'm a current BSN student at UCF. To answer some questions: For the transfer student orientation- same as what was previously said, you go to a room and hear some speakers, and split out into colleges (ie college of nursing) where you are f...
Clinicals are literally all over central Florida. There's a lot to factor in if you want to live by campus; transportation and the cost for rent is higher closer to the school. I don't want to tell you what they asked us in the interviews since we di...
I can't say for sure, they will also factor in the cumulative GPA and how you do at the interview. If you are invited for an interview you need to take it seriously. For us last year about 180 people out if over 400 applicants were invited to intervi...
I'm about to head into my second semester. For studying and tests, make sure you understand the rationale behind what you're doing. For skills, practice practice practice! Always carry black pens. Please eat before clinical, I know it's early but you...

I keep changing my mind haha Right now I'm set on wanting to work in Critical Care There's not really a specialty I "dont want to work in" since I see any as a learning opportunity. I'm pretty open to anything once I graduate. During Nursing School t...
