I didn't have a Facebook but I just created one to join the page lol! My email is [email protected] If someone can find me and add me because I can't find it.

Thank you! I went online last night to check and all the spots for Friday are taken so I have to go on April 10th. I wish some people from on here were going that day so some of us could meet! I wonder when the nursing orientation will be.

Lol I thought the same thing! I'm trying to find out if we have to go to the new student one as well as the nursing one. If so I can only go on Friday. I hope it's not too late for me to sign up :/

Are we supposed to go to a general orientation for new students or just the nursing orientation??

Decisions are out!!! I'm in!!! :))))

Me too! I had applied to Daytona states ASN program for January and they told us we would know right before thanksgiving and we knew by the end of October. I think it just depends on the school and how many people apply

Lol I thought the same thing about the 13th! I called yesterday to change my email on file and she mentioned that they were hoping for the 17th so hopefully we don't have to wait until the 20th!!

Exactly! I come on here and get discouraged bc so many others have better stats than I do but it will work out the way it's supposed to :)

Same here! I really hope they don't make us wait until the 20th. I wonder how many seats they have open for this one compared to the basic

I have a 3.48 overall, 3.8 in the prereqs and I got an 85 on the teas. I started out not knowing what I wanted to do and wasn't totally focused on school my first two years so I messed my gpa up. It's been a long hard road and I'm hoping my hard work has paid off and I get accepted! :) I graduated from UF in December and I already miss being in school lol

Hi guys! I applied to the accelerated program too! I hope to hear something soon I have been checking my email like crazy!

Hi all! I actually got into the program that starts this month but due to a family emergency/financial issues I was not able to attend. I am planning on applying again for the Fall term in May and applying to UCFs concurrent program

Hi all! I have a question. I read on previous posts that people are mentioning when they completed their prerequisites and that if you finished them recently you won't be accepted into the program. Why would the school not accept someone if they just finished their pre reqs? That makes so sense to me at all. I thought all that mattered was that all of them were completed before you submitted your pre reqs.

Thank you for your advice! I'm going to call around to a few schools today.

Ok here is my issue. I'm 22 years old and I've been going to college since I was 18. I was in community college for 4 years trying to decide what I really wanted to do with my life. During my first 3 years i would withdraw from classes left and right and sometimes fail them and have to retake them. About a year and a half ago I realized i wanted to be a nurse and i changed my academics around and I got accepted to University of Florida. I have about a year left until I graduate. I ended up getting a B+ in Developmental Psych, Nutrition, and A&P1, and an A in statistics. I'm currently enrolled in A&P2 at a community college while taking a full load at UF (since they don't offer that sequence in anatomy at UF I had to take it at the community college.) My main issue is that I have such a rocky background with my grades even though i ended up with a GPA in community college that was a 3.4. but GPA includes grade forgiveness. At UF, I have gotten excellent grades and I have a 3.7 GPA as of right now. Are accelerated programs going to look at my improvement? or are they going to immediately count me out since I wasn't the perfect straight A student like A lot of these Pre-Nursing students are. I have a few older people in my class and they are going to back to school to be a nurse and they are only taking 1 class at a time and getting straight A's in all of their prerequs and this is very discouraging to me because I am taking a full load of classes and adding the nursing classes on top of it and I feel like these people would be picked over me in a heartbeat. This is something that I really want to do and my heart is completely in on this career. I just get very discouraged because of my background and seeing all these other people with perfect grades and i feel like I don't have a change. Does anyone have any tips that they can give me or any advice on this? I'm tired of being stressed about this all the time! Thank you for your help (:
