I just got accepted into an accelerated BSN program. However, I suffer from chronic migraines. I usually have around 15+ migraine days a month with preventative medication. Once I take my medication, I am usually able to function. I may have one or two non-functioning days a month. I'm wondering if this will interfere with school. Has anyone else attended nursing school while dealing with chronic migraines?

That's weird. It didn't do that when I uploaded my documents for residency status. I would call the academic advisor on Monday. She would know what your status is. Then, if there is something wrong with your application (tech-wise), the UF IT department can look into it.

Did you have to submit and transcripts? I'm just asking because it should list your transcripts if you did submit some. Here is how mine looks. It also says "undetermined" for residency status but when I click the link below it, it tells me what I need to do to change that.

This facebook link is for the Gainesville campus. The Jacksonville campus should create their own. https://www.facebook.com/groups/737455521342064/?ref=sharehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/737455521342064/?ref%3Dshare&exp=93fa&mibextid=S66gvF

Accepted applicants get emails. If you did not get accepted you will not get an email until May, so you need to check your post-baccalaureate page.

I got accepted! Third times a charm! I'm going to create a facebook group, like past participants have done. I'll post a link here. Congrats to everyone, and those who did not get accepted: please do not give up! It took me three tries. You can do it!

If we do get results today, they will most likely not come out before 5pm. They almost always post them after 5pm. Last year they didn't, but they were running a little behind last year so I think they were in a rush to get them out. It's almost always after 5pm on a Friday.

Hi everyone! This is my third time applying to the ABSN program. I was accepted last year, as an alternate, but had to decline the spot due to not having funds to move back to Florida at that time. A little about me: I have a bachelors in Liberal Arts and am working towards my masters in Health Education. I worked in medical records for ten years. My cumulative GPA is 3.67 and my prerequisite GPA is 3.57, and my HESI score is an 85% with a critical thinking score of 840 (recommended 900). As you can see, some of my stats are pretty good and some okay (CT score), but I was able to secure the alternate spot in Gainesville last year. This is my final year to apply. If I get in...yay! If not...oh well...it wasn't meant to be. I wish you all the best. All I can say, is that applying and seeing who got accepted and who did not the last two years, shows me that they really do take a holistic approach when looking at our applications. Best of luck to you all! (Also, this is the least active post that I've seen in the last three application cycles. Each year these posts seem to have less and less activity. It just makes me wonder if interest is waning in the field/program/school...which might be good for you and I!)

I applied to Gainesville, but now I’m wishing that I would have checked “no preference”. That’s right! I had completely forgotten about that.

Last year we found out the first Friday in March around 4-5pm.

I don't remember anyone mentioning receiving the assessment link last year, and I did not receive one this year.

Hey everyone! I applied to the program last year, but was not accepted. At the last hour, I decided to apply again this year because my pre-requisites will no longer be up to date for the program after this year. I scored an 85% on the HESI, and I honestly do not remember what my pre-requisite GPA was. I have a Bachelors of Science in Liberal Arts with a focus in Population Health that I graduated cum laude from. Since last year, I have started my Masters in Health Education. I have no clinical experience, just medical office experience, and have recently been working as a substitute teacher. I can say, that the UF-ABSN forum last year had A LOT more activity! I know there was a high volume of applicants last year. However, I'm wondering if there is a lower volume this year due to pandemic fatigue and everyone seeing the nursing shortages and what stress medical personell are under. The forum seems to be a lot smaller and less active this year. Well, best of luck to all of you! If I don't get in this year, I may just continue with my graduate degree or try Rasmussen in Ocala (my twin attend Rasmussen for her ASN and had no problems finding jobs after graduation...and now has her BSN, so that may be something to look into if anyone doesn't get accpeted to UF!).

If I do receive an acceptance, I will not be taking it. Not because of the experience, but because I was on the fence about whether or not to take it anyway. I've already started the process to begin a registered dietitian program at the University of New England. Good luck to you all! I hope that some seats open up for you.

I wish the best of luck to all of you who were accepted! I may be the only person who didn't receive the acceptance email that isn't upset. I was on the fence as to whether or not I would accept it if offered and now the decision has been made for me...which is actually a HUGE relief off my chest. Now, I can purse a masters register dietitian program near me. Best of luck to you all! I know that you will all make excellent nurses because you were chosen by the best!

Nothing changed on my post-bacclaureate page either.
