Seminole State - UCF Concurrent BSN Spring 2013

U.S.A. Florida

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!=)

I was accepted on Friday. Can someone clarify for me how the concurrent program at UCF/Seminole State works? Am I taking classes at UCF and Seminole State at the same time, or do I get my RN at Seminole State first and take the remaining classes online at UCF?

To mcnealy,

Your taking classes from both schools throughout the 2 years, but you will finish the SSCONECARD classes first. One benefit to this is you will get to sit for the NCLEX while you are finishing the last few online UCF classes. Theoretically, you should get your state license about the same time you get your BSN.

Look forward to meeting you in November!

Take care, Steve

SSCONECARD is supposed to be SSC - auto spell checkers, can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em ;-)

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if someone in here could answer a quick question for me.

I am applying for the Basic BSN at UCF and the Concurrent Seminole State program for fall 2013. I just found out about the program and have all of the pre-requisites EXCEPT for the Diet Therapy Class (I took nutrition HUN1201, didn't include diet therapy). Do you have the have all of the pre-reqs completed BEFORE you submit your application, or just before the class starts?

Thank You!!

You will have a better chance if all of your pre-reqs are completed before you apply. Now, I say this, but there a some in my class who just took a nutrition class just this semester and we are in our third semester. Not impossible, but I would try and get that class done ASAP

Anyone who is an alternate and/or is wait listed please let me know if you have gotten in. I am kind of disappointed at the lack of communication from both schools. I had simple questions and have not gotten a reply from either. Also, did anyone on here get into the basic RN program? I finished my prereqs in Spring 2010 so thought I should have gotten into that program since they told me at the information LAST year they accepted applicants who finished their prereqs in 2010. However, I do know the pool is always different. It is just frustrating to be on hold for so long as I am big on planning! Thanks a lot! :)

Hi! I was also waitlisted. I applied with a 3.7 overall, 3.4 prereq, 92% teas. Finished my last prereq Spring 2011. I was feeling decently confident, but this must have been a competitive application pool! They should only now know how many potential openings they have, as the deadline to accept or decline your seat was Nov 2. It may be a better time to ask about your chances. Even so, I wouldn't expect to get a lot of information. I share your frustration... Being waitlisted is hard!

For all of you who were wait listed: hang in there! I didn't get a phone call until the first week of December last year. I had all but given up hope. If you don't get a call, the next time you apply you will have a better chance of getting in. Most of my class had applied at least twice to the program.

The encouragement is much appreciated! :) At this point I have had to look into my backup plans, but the more I look the more I realize nursing is what I want, and I'll continue working for it! Hope I'm lucky as you to get off the waitlist!

So that is 6 confirmed on the wait/alternative. 5 who posted here and one fellow classmate/friend who does not. His second time around applying. 1st time told that folks had finished their pre-reqs before him (2010). Finished in fall of 2011 and now this. I commend you folks who don't mind waiting 1-2 years to get into the nursing program; especially, when you could of gotten a degree/certificate in something while waiting. You only get 6 month grace period before you have to start paying your students loans if your not enrolled.

I'm sorry I love Nursing, but I'm not playing that game. No way will I wait TWO years! after getting my A.A to finally start a program that will take another 2 1/2 years to complete and then another who knows how long to actually get hired.

There are other options for plan B:

Accelerated RN transition programs

*LPN

*Paramedic

*Respiratory

plan C:

Medical Laboratory Science

Physicians Assistant

If my friend does not get placed off the wait-list and does not start in the spring of 2013, that will be one whole year before he may (not guaranteed) apply again and actually start in the fall of 2013.

I'm applying for the fall of 2013, but I have a plan B in case I get denied or wait-listed. AA degree with a 3.95 overall GPA. (4.00 cum)

Now they are saying for the RN program... It is by who applied to the concurrent program, THEN categories (based on pre-req gpa), THEN when you last finished pre-reqs. When I went to the nursing session, they said nothing about gpa factored into that. It must have suddenly changed. Does anyone remember what they said at their nursing session?
