Congrats! I remember reading somewhere that the fit test is done at orientation. I think it's just fitting for a mask. It's crazy your wedding is that same day! I would tell them. Maybe you could go early, get what you need, and leave early??

Spring 2017 UCF Concurrent Nursing
@Sarahxo Oh yay maybe we'll be meeting soon then! Yes, I purchased the background check. Navigating Castlebranch was a little confusing at first, but I got the hang of it now. They verify things really quickly, usually same day! And they also have an easy to use app so I can check on the status of things right from my phone. EVERYTHING is verified through them so it's easy to keep track of all of the requirements in one place... For the background check, you just fill out a question form online. Same for the drug test, then you have to download your order form to take to LabCorp. From there the lab sends the results directly to them and they verify. For fingerprints you have to download a form and take it with you to a UPS store to get your fingers scanned. Those results get sent directly to them as well. For the immunizations/ physical, you have to actually scan and upload the forms filled out by the doctor's office. If you're using a CentraCare (and are not sure if your shot records are in the online database) make sure to take a copy of your high school transcripts since those usually have your immunization record on them. The CentraCare I used (Sanford) was used to getting Nursing students so they knew the drill. I did the physical, flu shot, PPD test, and Varicella titer and the total came to about $140. Once we complete the CPR course, we scan the card and upload it to Castlebranch as well. Hope this info helped anyone getting started with the whole process!

Congrats!! I know, it's so crazy. Just one step at a time.. I already did the background check, fingerprints were quick (at a UPS store lol), I'm at a CentraCare now waiting on physical and immunizations.. *takes breath* ..Next week I do the drug test and I have the CPR class scheduled at Valencia West for Nov 5th. I've been waiting for this so long, I just wanted to get everything out of the way haha

@dsylvain2 I signed up for the CPR class that's held at Valencia West Nov. 5th. Got my fingerprints done today and have an appointment at CentraCare tomorrow for physical and immunizations. Drug test scheduled at Labcorp next Wednesday. I'm a freak but I hate seeing things unchecked on a to-do list!

Spring 2017 UCF Concurrent Nursing
Looks like it's all due by 12/5.. and they'll actually have some stuff onsite at orientation available, like immunizations. But I'm going to get everything done asap. I would definitely schedule the CPR class right away. December is right around the corner and you don't want them to fill up. Also get the background check/ drug screen process started now trough "Castlebranch," in case there is some sort of delay. Quite the process!

Also, did anyone who applied for both the Concurrent and Traditional programs get acceptance emails to both? I replied and accepted the Concurrent one, but I want to make sure that if I decline the Traditional email it doesn't affect my spot in the other one. So confusing!

Yea I just checked my UCF email to see if they added anything. The admissions person is the one who kept telling us when VCC would send their emails, but I don't have anything new from them as of today. Last she said was it'd be Friday (today). Sorry guys! You'll know very soon!!
