Seminole State - UCF Concurrent BSN Spring 2013

Published

Hello everyone that is applying in September for the SSC/UCF program. I wanted to start a board to communicate with the spring 2013 applicants.

I'm done with my prerequisites and preparing the take the TEAS now. I'm excited and nervous about the application process. Good luck to everyone!=)

Hmmm well I am taking human nutrition, that is my last pre req! I was super mad I had to retake it, Cus I had already taken it in Daytona a year ago. A UCF advisor told me false info, and when I went to a SSC nursing session I found out I took the wrong human nutrition >:( but my GPA is 3.67 overall, 4.0 recalculated and TEAS 78.7 :/

Actually, one of my friends who is also in the concurrent program was forced to take another nutrition class, which she is taking now. I'm not sure what the problem was with her old nutrition class, but thankfully it worked out for her. I really hope it works out for you too!

Wow they made her take a different nutrition class while she was in the program?! Or before entering....

I know, i wish they knew what they were talking about 100% before they tell the students one thing, it got my hopes up! :(

She is taking it now. I think it was just a half semester class though.

For some reason I was under the impression that we are supposed to get a letter from SSC and an email from UCF. Did you get an email from both? If so I need to start checking my SSC email account again =)

I got an email from both schools within hours of each other. A letter came a few days later.

Thanks for letting me know, I will keep checking my ssc live account then. I had not even thought to look there! How are you enjoying the program? What is your schedule like?

It's so hard to tell you what my schedule is like. In the beginning there are quite a few lab days along with lecture and clinical times. It always used to irritate me when I would ask someone what their schedule was like and they were kind of aloof about it, but now I realize that it's too complicated to say a lot of the time! :cool: Clinicals can be on the weekend, night, day or during the week. It just depends. Your first 6 weeks will be hard. Trying to get your schedule in order can be daunting, but it isn't always going to be like that. Right now we are taking peds and mental health. Both classes have clinical requirements, so there have been times where I have had 3 in one week, but not every week, depending on which clinical group you are assigned. My best advice for you is to be organized right from the beginning. Make sure you have a calendar that you put your schedule on. I keep mine electronically, but some people carry a book around with them, so it all depends on your preference.
