Hi! For the most part, they do not. That has been the biggest headache. In meetings with faculty they have said they can help you find placement, but that it may not be anywhere close to you and provided us with the example that one of the faculty members from Tallahassee had to go to Sarasota for her clinical for 5 weeks. However, in my class I don't know of a single person who has had it done for them. My friend couldn't find one for the first round and they got her in contact with a dermatologist in Tampa. After doing some research we found that he had been charged with sexual battery on a woman he worked with and fraud in multiple states, so she did not go through with it and ended up finding her own placement much later and took an incomplete for the semester due to this. I would not bank on them finding placement for you, if that is what you're looking for.

Hi all, Finally received my acceptance today from USF (MSN) and FSU (DNP) after 5 long weeks of waiting! I will be going with FSU, so looking forward to starting the program with you all! Thanks so much for answering all my questions btw.

Thank you guys! I turned my in June 22nd (deadline at that time was July 1st) and am still waiting to hear back (it’s killing me). Do you guys have any idea what the orientation dates are? I’m finishing up a travel assignment on the west coast and am wondering when I would have to come back down to Florida (in the event that I do get accepted). Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I was wondering if any of you heard anything back and what your time frame was on hearing back from when your application was completed. I was late in deciding that I wanted to apply for the Fall 2022 semester, but when I applied the deadline had been extended to July 1st. Best of luck to all! Thanks!

Hi Kristin! Congrats on your acceptance! If you want to message one of us your last name we can add you. Also here is the link, see if this works! Log into Facebook | Facebook

Haha oh yeah, same here! I'm definitely a firm believer in the power of caffeine! I agree, hopefully our excitement will keep us going! I'm glad they have the FIT test there for us, one more thing to cross off the list! Yeah I took a look on my phone, but I feel like I'll be able to get a closer look from the computer. Hi Kim, I'm Jazmine nice to meet you! And yes that would very helpful! I would really appreciate it!

Meydiaz You could call it "Valencia Nursing Fall 2016" something general so that both groups will use it.

Yes, I received that email too and I believe it is longer! Ours is combining our VCC nursing orientation, UCF Transfer orientation and UCF nursing! It's quite long but I'm sure it will answer a lot of our questions! I had no idea UCF had one as well, thank you so much for mentioning it! I'll check it out now! I'm honestly very unfamiliar with UCF's system since I graduated from Valencia :/ I'm really hoping they thoroughly explain the process for registering for classes for both schools, since we are technically taking classes from both institutions simultaneously. Also, don't forget to bring cash if you plan on buying the polo at orientation!

Yes Angie, I am! I totally forgot Kevin told me you were also accepted! Yesterday I asked Kev if this was you and he said yes! I was so excited when he told me, I can't wait to finally meet you! With the watch, everyone has been getting the white one, but I got the pink because I had read a lot of reviews where people said ink or dark fabrics caused discoloration but it's up to you! It was cheap, water-resistant, and has military time as well! Yay that is awesome! Yes let us know if you get word back. I'm eager to submit mine, but I want to make sure I do everything correctly, just because it does take so long to hear back! Thanks for the quick response btw, hope you're enjoying your night!

Hey guys, my name is Jazmine. I'm 20 years old and I was accepted into the VCC/UCF Concurrent Nursing Program for Fall 2016! I've been reading/keeping up with a lot of these discussions since last summer, so I figured it was time to stop being a creeper and join in. So far I've purchased my stethoscope (Littmann Classic 3, $99 including engraving, my stethoscope.com), khaki pants (dickies, $19, Walmart), watch (pink casio diver watch, $17, Walmart), and I have my white lab coat from Micro, which I heard we can just buy the Valencia patch for. I received my stethoscope a week or two ago (very fast shipping), and I am extremely impressed with the quality. I used it on everyone in my family, including my 2 dogs lol. I am still waiting to purchase white shoes to see what everyone else's thoughts are. I've been looking at the Sketcher Premium Slip Ons on Amazon, super hideous but they have great reviews for nursing students. Also looking into getting my BP cuff shortly after orientation! Today I completed my drug test, fingerprints, and uploaded my shot records. I was able to get all my records from the health department. I am also attending the CPR class at Valencia on July 16th. I am in the process of finding a place that gives free/cheap physicals as I am uninsured at the moment. Any suggestions would be great! Orientation is just a few days away and I couldn't be more excited! Have any of you guys checked out the "Nursing" section on Atlas? It's under the "Students" tab all the way on the bottom left corner. Today they uploaded a "Class/Clinical Schedule" for Fall 2016. There was also a post added in June regarding registration for Fall 2016 and what day it becomes available, it's very informative if you haven't already looked at it. Also, I recently completed my AA in Spring 2016 and am in the process of completing my appeal. I've had issues in the past with not receiving financial aid, so I'm hoping this is my answer. So far I have only received my signed education plan via email from one of the nursing advisors. I want to meet up with a regular advisor if we have any breaks during orientation to see if I can get any tips on completing the SAP statement. Have any of you guys had any luck with completing yours?
