I have had the same pair of danskos for about 10 years and yes it took quite some time for my feet to feel comfortable in the arch area, they are good for standing, but if you have to run be careful as twisting an ankle will be easy to do in these shoes. As for the Ariats, I have several pairs of Ariat boots (I ride horses) and I will not wear any other boot, the comfort and quality is unsurpassed. My boots have been completely submerged in mud and water and no leaks! I know this is not relevant to nursing, but its good to know they are water/fluid proof

oh good! I was going to suggest talking to Miss Mack. Glad you got it figured out.

Did you turn in all of your acceptance paperwork?

It is already on the student portal

I've been doing crossfit since April of this year and LOVE it!

I started a blog as to what my nursing program experiences are if you are interested in reading it. steponya.blogspot.com

Some classes I took at south had a huge load of work, some had i guess an average amount. Some classes were easy others were more difficult. No different than any other school that I attended other than the fact that the classes were smaller and allowed for a more personal experience. That's what my experience was like. Eng III was an easy class for me, for others not so much.

My school also discourages working, luckily my job is super flexible...for now

Thank you! Orientation is October 2, and class starts the following Monday :)

I was accepted into the Program!

Yes I had Doc Green, he is a really fun professor. He keeps each class intriguing. No boring lectures and power points. He seems to grade fairly and everything is explained and in the syllabus.

That's great! I wish you luck and I hope this is the right fit for you. Who are scheduled to take ENG III and patho with? To me those classes were a breeze. I enjoyed the small environment as it seemed to make it more personable.

I always get a lot of fantastic ideas for quick, and healthy (particularly clean) meals on pinterest. One of my fav's is this Pin by Ashlea Boyer on Healthy eating | Pinterest

South University has the same level accreditation that USF and UT has. All three schools have the highest level for our area. So there should be no reason as to why the degrees/credits do not transfer out. I am personally just going into their BSN program and will decide later which school is appropriate for me for my graduate degree. A lot of schools have lawsuits against them, disgruntled students are a part of the game. This information comes from personal contacts I have with people who work at different schools in our area. Not picking an argument with Pilot2RN, but just giving my view and what extra info I have come across. Not everyone can get accepted into UT, USF, and HCC, choosing YOUR school is up to you. I chose mine and am so far happy with it.

You are right! It is a very tough decision, and it's all individualistic. I wish you the best of luck and am sure what ever you choose will be whats best for you.

I did take the eng III, and was not happy about it at first, but I did it in 10 weeks on campus. It was actually a super fun class, easy, and the professor was awesome. Basically the class is about argumentative writing.

When I applied in April, I had a mediocre overall and science GPA. I also was still in the middle of finishing a quarter of 4 classes. So my not so great overall was 3.26 and my science was 3.05. This was because of my transfer credits at HCC. I was really burnt out of school and wasn't doing well. Since at South, I have taken the additional classes needed for the Bachelors track and have retaken one of my sciences to boost my GPA. So I am hoping they will give me chance due to my improvement. As far as the TEAS, they do not have a particular score they are looking for, it is only that you are "proficient". I would have to retake it if I were to apply to another University as I only scored a 70 (my own fault for not waiting until after I took chemistry). So yes the school is expensive, but the money is worth it to me since they are giving me a chance unlike other schools in which my GPA is not competitive enough Also, I will come out with a Bachelors degree and can move on to my Master's more quickly.

Looking to find some other applicants for the Fall 2014 South Univ Tampa BSN program. Is this your first time applying? If not, did you make alternate last time? This will be me second time applying and I made alternate for the April class. Fingers and toes crossed that I am accepted into the fall program :)

I would love to read about your journey as I applied for April and got alternate, and am now reapplying for October...fingers crossed lol

congrats! I would love to hear how it goes for you as I am reapplying in October

Thats great, congrats! No I didn't, but thats ok, I am just going to retake one of my transfer credits to bring up my GPA and apply for fall.

yes I applied for April, but only got alternate. If a seat doesnt open up for me, i will re-evaluate my transfer credits and retake something and reapply for fall if i have to.

how rigorous is the program so far? Do you work or do you think you would be able to work at that same time? The advisers always say to quit your job when you get into the program. Just wanted to get a nursing students perspective on this.

I hope so! good luck to you too, do we know each other, like have we had any classes together?

No i'm not sure, i think the next application will be around June sometime... guessing based on the time period for spring
