  1. Santa Fe College ASN Spring 2017 Hopefuls

    ChangingPaths replied to vlvlvlvl's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have heard the same thing about Santa Fe's program and that's where I have been taking the prerequisite science courses that I did not take for my first degrees. I have enjoyed the classes there. I...

  2. Santa Fe College ASN Spring 2017 Hopefuls

    ChangingPaths replied to vlvlvlvl's topic in Florida Nursing

    Affordability and Santa Fe's program being more hands-on is why it was my initial preference as well. UF's program is about $5,000 more, but from what I know, nurses with BSNs make about $10k more a...

  3. Santa Fe College ASN Spring 2017 Hopefuls

    ChangingPaths replied to vlvlvlvl's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi TGresh, I am in a very similar situation. I have applied to the ASN and it is my first choice. Sadly, I only have 46 points. I graduated Cum Laude from UF, but because Santa Fe uses ALL college...

  4. Santa Fe College ASN Spring 2017 Hopefuls

    ChangingPaths replied to vlvlvlvl's topic in Florida Nursing

    Advising said that they base their number of acceptances on the local market demand for nurses and that it has recently varied between 30 and 60

  5. Santa Fe College ASN Spring 2017 Hopefuls

    ChangingPaths replied to vlvlvlvl's topic in Florida Nursing

    I also saw that on the Fall 2016 Hopefuls forum. However, I was told by advising that it is really semester dependent and there is not technically any cutoff as long as all of the requirements are...

  6. JU, UNF, UF, UCF, and USF ABSN Applicants for 2017

    ChangingPaths replied to armymusic2013's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi Analgesic, If accepted to the program, they suggest that you go see a financial adviser before accepting the offer. If you have not already done so, you should complete the online FAFSA. I believe...

  7. JU, UNF, UF, UCF, and USF ABSN Applicants for 2017

    ChangingPaths replied to armymusic2013's topic in School, College Programs

    Hello armymusic2013, The UF ABSN deadline for summer 2017 is Dec. 1. Remember that it is a two-fold application process (Nursing CAS and UF app). I am fairly certain that they do not do rolling...

  8. JU, UNF, UF, UCF, and USF ABSN Applicants for 2017

    ChangingPaths replied to armymusic2013's topic in School, College Programs

    Hello, I know I'm a bit late to respond to your question, but the answer is no that it is not too late. UF does not require that you have completed all of your prerequisites by the end of the spring...

  9. Santa Fe College ASN Fall 2016 Hopefuls

    ChangingPaths replied to Griff94's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hello Agarcia, Kaplan Location I do not believe that you are required to take it at Santa Fe. The Kaplan Nursing School Entrance Exam is required for several nursing programs and I don't think you...

  10. $15 Min Wage - Effect on RNs

    ChangingPaths replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    Very well put. Not to mention the fact that cost of living varies by state and will negatively impact some more than others. Fast food restaurants in California have already started integrating...

  11. Desperate for Advice: ASN or ABSN (Santa Fe College, UF)

    ChangingPaths posted a topic in General Students

    Hello everyone, Background: I have 2 degrees from UF a B.S. and M.S. in Agricultural Education and Communication. I graduated with my M.S. 2 years ago and my B.S. 4 years ago. After entering the work...

  12. Desperate for Advice: ASN or ABSN (Santa Fe College, UF)

    ChangingPaths replied to ChangingPaths's topic in General Students

    That's great! I would feel the same way if I had little ones. I do not have any yet, but would like to start thinking about children in a few years, which is why I would like to do an accelerated...

  13. Desperate for Advice: ASN or ABSN (Santa Fe College, UF)

    ChangingPaths replied to ChangingPaths's topic in General Students

    That's very useful to know. Thank you very much. At this point, I plan on going with whatever program I can get accepted to. Although my grades are good, the competition is very steep in my area....

  14. Santa Fe College ASN Fall 2016 Hopefuls

    ChangingPaths replied to Griff94's topic in Florida Nursing

    WOW! That actually seems a tad high for the cut off, especially since 20 of the possible points are for health related licenses, military, and prior application. The only points I don't have are those...

  15. Pre-reqs completely online

    ChangingPaths replied to Icy Willow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I Absolutely agree with you on your points and online classes aren't very beneficial for everyone. I prefer live classes, but I am in a similar situation with a full-time job that I hope to keep until...

  16. Pre-reqs completely online

    ChangingPaths replied to Icy Willow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That seems crazy to me that an advisor told you they would not accept online course credit. I am taking my prerequisites, mixture of online and live, at my local community college and I am applying to...

  17. Desperate for Advice: ASN or ABSN (Santa Fe College, UF)

    ChangingPaths replied to ChangingPaths's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the advice. I agree, I will definitely work as an RN for a couple of years before deciding on my next step. My big hurtle right now is just to figure out if the ASN or accelerated BSN is...

  18. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    ChangingPaths replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    I totally get feeling that way. I think that sometimes too. Especially with traveling to see my family more. I really want a 3/12 shift so that I can have more time to travel to my family and spend...

  19. I know it's horrible to live off loans but...

    ChangingPaths replied to Cats&Tea&Climbing's topic in General Nursing

    I have 2 degrees, BS and MS, from UF. I worked part-time off and on during both and still had to essentially live on student loans. I am a little over $40k, which really isn't too bad, in my opinion,...

  20. ASN Program, Broward College or Santa Fe College in Florida

    ChangingPaths replied to Nurse2bJigga's topic in General Nursing

    Santa Fe has a fairly highly rated ASN program, from what I know. In the Gainesville area, I have been told that local employers prefer to hire RNs from Santa Fe over UF. I am applying to Santa Fe's...

  22. Santa Fe College ASN class of 2015 Fall!

    ChangingPaths replied to ASN15burnette's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi LadyBramble, I understand that this is an old post, but I have been going through a lot of threads while trying to make decisions about RN programs. I think that I recognize your username from the...

  23. Santa Fe College ASN Fall 2016 Hopefuls

    ChangingPaths replied to Griff94's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hello everyone! Congratulations to those of you who were accepted to Santa Fe's ASN program for the fall. I am hopeful for spring 2017. All I have left is to finish MCB 2000 this semester, Kaplan this...

  24. Desperate for Advice: ASN or ABSN (Santa Fe College, UF)

    ChangingPaths replied to ChangingPaths's topic in General Students

    In the poll, I neglected to include the track that I think I prefer at the moment and that is to get my ASN, then BSN while working and later pursue my BSN to DNP while working.
