  1. UCF 2013 Accelerated BSN

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm nervous, but feeling ok. Tomorrow is committee day. It would be nice to have something by Tuesday afternoon, but that's pushing it, I'm sure. I just need to give notice at work, since I am...

  2. UCF 2013 Accelerated BSN

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't know if sharing information is helpful or destructive! :) Now I'm trying to think of 13 different things that could be measured in that type of interview: Like maybe how often you went first...

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    So. This is the week. I think I'm more anxious now than waiting on that interview

  4. UCF 2013 Accelerated BSN

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    I liked the interview in the sense that I got to meet two faculty members and a community representative. That was a good way to interact with them and do a tiny bit of marketing. Hopefully I'll see...

  5. UCF 2013 Fall-Orlando generic BSN applicants?

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey everyone, Interviews for the accelerated program went well today. After a little disorganization early on (most of us showed up WAAAAY early and caught them before they had the roll call list and...

  6. UCF 2013 Accelerated BSN

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    We were asked 5 questions and we all answered before they moved onto the next questions, but they didn't have us answer in a particular order. They were pretty general. I tried to sound as genuine...

  7. UCF 2013 Accelerated BSN

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    I think this is the general feeling I'm getting about the whole application process. When they couldn't find the check-in list, didn't really know how they wanted to organize us in the beginning,...

  8. UCF 2013 Accelerated BSN

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    It was a little disorganized for the first group, but alright. People were easy to talk to. I think there were 3 strong candidates in my group and two people who were less prepared. I hope that is...

  9. UCF 2013 Accelerated BSN

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    Not bad actually. Said they had 276 applicants, interviewed 100ish, with 62 seats. Not scary. No panel, just sitting round a conference table. 3 staff and 5 applicants. General questions. No order to...

    Good morning! Holy cow everyone, today is the day! Good luck everyone, do your best. I'm so nervous but I'm just praying 50 people show up in flip-flops or something. :-) Everyone drive safely out...

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    Holy cow, I'm really anxious. Nothing like having all of your eggs in one basket. I'll be the super anxious one at 8:30 in a black suit, light blue shirt, and file bag with a scarf tied to it. It has...

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    OK, quick trip to Walmart this morning resulted in a bag of red pens and a much needed lint roller. I just realized that I have to study this weekend and early next week because I have a Nutrition...

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    I could only find one sitting around work. But its in my purse. Ok, yep. Anxiety is in full form today. I'm really nervous. I'm worried everyone else has better stats. And I have been told I'm...

    Ok, it's Tuesday! Suit is steamed, altoids purchased and in bag, lines reheorificed. Funny to think we are just only nearing the starting gate, rather than the finish

    I love camping. It is the only way I can really take time away each month. I find life gets so hectic, it can pass you by if you don't stop to enjoy it! And it is one of the nice things about living...

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    UCF Basic is my backup plan too, but I really think the accelerated will be a better fit for me. Plus, the less time out of work the better. Good luck on your test Nursowiczka2b- You can do it!!!!...

    mrsbacktoschool replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    I still need to steam my suit. It's in the normal work clothing rotation, so it gets a little more wear than just the occasional interview or event. I finally found a shirt today that isn't too...

  25. Advice for Accelerated BSN

    mrsbacktoschool replied to t2091's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ooooh. PA school applications were brutal on me. I applied to 13 schools last year through CASPA and didn't even get an interview. I agree that you might want to take it a little slower if you need...
