A couple of weeks :) She was on vacation after decisions were emailed!

Yes and yes! Waitlist at this school is not a bad thing!! The majority of my cohort were from waitlist

Hey guys!!! I applied (and went through your feelings) two years ago!! Don't feel disadvantaged, because you are not!! You are doing ALL of the right things! You went to the workshops! You nailed that spot for an interview and you guys are ranked bas...

Hi there! You have much more work experience than I do (I graduate a BSN program in April), but I have a pretty good chance of being hired in the OR where I was an extern over the summer when I graduate. I am so excited about that...but I am doing my...

So happy you enjoyed it!!! I wish I could have been there yesterday but I had clinical. Good to hear it was just as inviting as the past workshops. We love our school and each other and our faculty. I'm happy that came across genuinely, yesterday. Yo...

Hey there! I am in UNF's program now. It is absolutely full-time and your job must come second to school. I am in the 2 year traditional track. I have worked part-time the entire time and have found it manageable. There have been times when I had to ...

Going to offer a different opinion instead of attacking your age which none of us know. I would submit to you that life is short. I would also tell you never to listen to anyone telling you to deal with being miserable because, "dammit, we're all mis...

My child was the reason I started nursing school. When I started pre-reqs he was 10 months old. I graduate in 3 months and he will be turning 4 two months after I graduate. Best feeling in the world! The time will pass anyway. I say do it now while y...

Go to the school of nursing website for UNF! UNF - Brooks: School of Nursing - homepage :)

I am now looking up the top 10 nursing schools because I want to know where on God's green earth nursing school is giving out free As!!! Not my school!!

I saw that! so far I have found Memorial, Baptist, Mayo, Shands (UF Health) nurse residencies. I don't see anything for St. Vincent's. I guess they haven't jumped on the bandwagon yet! (In Jacksonville, I mean!)

Hi! I highly recommend you do our So You Wanna Be A Nurse workshop (free) offered through the school! It gives you so much information about the requirements. I believe that you will be OK to apply, but you need to make sure your core science classes...

Awesome! Congrats, Mark. I'm in UNF's BSN program now. I don't graduate until late April 2016 so most likely will be looking at residency programs that start late spring / summer. I didn't realize Memorial had a residency program! Their CVICU is seri...

Hi everyone! With the deadline only a little over a month away, I figured we all need a place to stress, hope and worry! I just took my first stab at the TEAS and hit the average score of the past few years (335). I have a 3.9 GPA. One pre-req left. ...

My hubby and I switched off who was home with baby for the first 2 years of his life. Once he turned 2, off to daycare he went. He got RSV twice in the 10 months he has been there so far. But you know what? He LOVES it!!! Sure, I have mommy guilt...b...

Apply to our local community college FSCJ. Get your prereqs done there. Or St. John's River State College

Hi Everyone. Thought I would go ahead and get this thread started for those of us applying to the UNF FALL 2014 cohort. Deadline is May 1! Where is everyone in the process?

Short lived!! See you all at taking flight! :)

When I was wait listed I was so excited, then bummed, then excited again. It is a terrible limbo, but in my experience it is short lived. Best of luck to you!! I would advise you to stick close to your phone :)

yea!!! I am so excited for all of you!! welcome aboard!!!

We were just told that we have 44 new nursing bros and sisters, so it can't be far now! Good luck!!!!

I hope you all are feeling super happy that is over with!! I'm hoping to be there for your first day of Taking Flight! Good luck and make sure to check your MyWings! My fingers are crossed for all of you. You got it this time, Vee!!!

Hi! I didn't want to leave you hanging. I saw your post but we are SO busy in the program that I really don't have a lot of time to come back on here and browse how everyone is doing. CONGRATULATIONS on the interview!! I remember that time so so well...
