Hi there. Thanks for your message. I learned at the Venice info. session a week or so ago that the likelihood of getting into the Venice based program is greater than getting into the Bradenton based program (supply/demand). GPA is taken into consideration but also taken into consideration is number of applicants. So, if you're applying to Bradenton and you're floating in a pool of 100 applicants, only 40 of you can be chosen so GPA will become a much greater factor in deciding if you'll be one of the chosen 40 or not. On the flip side, if you're applying to the Venice campus program (by the way, there is no Lakewood Ranch program that you start/finish at), if you're in a pool of 50 applicants, GPA won't be as big of a factor as it'd be if you were in a pool of 100 applicants.

Hi there. I'm pretty certain I'll be chosen. I was chosen last year but due to circumstances out of my hands, in part, I had to turn down my seat. Did you attend the information session in Venice a week or so ago? I was there. Which campus are you waiting to hear back from? The goal is to attend the Venice campus for me :)

I'm looking to get information from past SCF/MCC nursing school students regarding what to expect when I start the RN program in January. Come that time, I will have no obligations to tend to expect for school (I set this up purposely so that full focus could be devoted to my education). Concerns mainly have to do with amount of reading that's required and other program expectations. I'm an excellent student across the boards but from what I've been reading on this site, nursing school is a whole different animal. I will be entering in January as an older student (late 30s) and don't feel like I have a clear understanding of what will be expected of me as far as work load, etc.

Psych_Nurse89, Could you please send me a private message? Your post was just what I was looking for and didn't even know it. I have some questions for you and would like to chat privately, if at all possible. Thanks in advance for your time. -Pr0spectiveRN
