I am a new nursing student and we are doing a clinical at a long-term care facility. So far I am able to handle the smells while at the clinical (however I have not been exposed to things such as bad wounds or C.Diff or very bad code brown). I believe I am able to have a good poker face and not let the smell get to me. However, what I am finding hard time with however, is when I get home. I do throw my uniform in the washer and I also take a shower, but then eventually I can still smell that smell that is around the facility, even in some halls of urine and feces. Is this common when you are first starting out? And do you get used to it? I want to be able to provide great nursing care during my clinical hours, but not be reminded of it when I am at home. I did read about Vicks, I had just put some in my nose, but I can't even smell the Vicks! Any advice?

I am interested, but I would like to first start the classes to see which textbooks I actually need.

all of those classes are fairly, but i am not sure what beginning algebra is. I took college algebra and there was TON of hw. that would be the only class that is challenging for summer.

40 hours and OT when they provided it.

does anyone have textbooks for sale?

For those of you who are still waiting on scholarship response. Did you not get an invitation for the interview either? I never received a decline email nor the interview invite email. I know some interviews were already done, and so were the decline letters as well.

Well I live in Orlando, and I did go up to Gainesville this past weekend to visit. I was shocked that it was more rural that I expected. I do think I like Orlando more, even though I HATEEEEE the amound of people here and traffic. From the research I have done so far, UF nursing program and UF in general is a better school. BUT its a Nursing license based degree. I could be wrong, but I dont think people are going to be looking at what school we went to when we graduate. They are going to care if we have our BSN and if our license is good and on job experience. UF does have a hospital on-site and the college of nursing does look nice. I wish UCF Nursing facility was better and we didnt have to drive around to clinicals. It's a hard decision, but for me it will probably come down to if I want to move out of Orlando right now or not (and also break my lease i should add). Oh by the way I realized you were accepted to Jax. I think i would have preferred Jax, but applied to Gainesville. How are you making your decision?

I am in too. Now I have to double think before saying no to UF. I hate making tough decisions.

I see the enrollment appointment info as well, for end of March. I wouldnt think too much into it. We were already accepted to UCF, so we will have things like that on myUCF. What matters now is what College of Nursing sends us.

Well on UF nursing BSN program it states that you can only apply for financial aid through school of nursing after completing 2 semesters. I haven't really looked at Undergrad financial aid, as I know I won't qualify for grants, the only hope is some scholarship. And loans are gonna be the same no matter what school I go to. The cost of the program at UF is actually basically exactly the same as UCF.

When you said you were denied the scholarship, did you actually get an email saying you didn't get it? I didn't get anything. But I know it says they will give responses by end of month, so I am hoping maybe they will still interview me.

Which scholarship did you interview for? The one they send out to us in the email? [h=1]Helene Fuld Health Trust Scholarship[/h]Did they send you the invite to interview in the email? I unfortunately did not hear anything on the scholarship. Sad to know as I was really hoping to get at least half of the tuition paid for. Congrats to you though!! Did anyone tried to speak to financial aid? I already been accepted to UF, and I would love to know if UCF will provide any financial assistance. Since we all have a Bachelor's degree already, we won't be eligible for the grants, right (if we used it during first Bachelor's)?

They will email us on acceptance.

i check everyday, multiple times a day. HAHA
