I'm thinking about going for my BSN. Is anyone currently in the BSN program at South Unversity. Is it a good program??? Any information would really be appreciated.

Congrats on your success Laurenr, i volunteer at Bethesda hoping they will give me a job there (but its hard).

the last selection for the fall semester on 8 students were selected from south the rest were outsiders. but nevertheless im still keeping hope. i know nothing about this Teas exam. i've just be reading post on here about it. many students respond as it not been so hard. South hasnt given us the information yet Pricilla said in October they will tell us more.

my friend got hired at Delray Medical and the offered a position in the ICU but she turned it down. she told them she would be more comfortable doing the ICU Stepdown since she is a brand new nurse. Boca West was hiring new grads for L&D.

I'm so glad to hear that you all have had a good experience with South University! Honestly I had never heard of it before and when I was doing my research on Florida nursing schools I was very surprised that SU existed and was accredited as well. I am going to meet with an advisor next week to get more information and sign up for the TEAS. I hope to be accepted into the program for April of 2010. I would love to hear more about current students and their experiences with this university. How does SU compare to other universities? Is it similar to FAU, Keiser, PBCC? How about the faculty? Thanks in advance for the info!

I am scheduled to start my prereqs in a few weeks (mid quarter) in wpb. I was told matter of factly by admissions that South University are considered before transfers to the nursing program. I hope I wasnt misled. They are using the Teas test and gpa in prereqs as entrance.

To anyone who has attended, how do you think this program compares in difficulty to others? I was quoted a 92% graduation rate for the BSN program. Does this sound accurate?

I am very nervous after reading so many discourageing posts.

Hi,

I am currently a student at South University - Tampa. It is really an excellent school, though quite expensive. I am finishing up my pre-req's now and I currently am applying for the October 2010 class. The applications are due May 28th. When applying keep in mind that you are going up against the average GPA of the group. The higher your GPA the better and especially if your core classes - sciences, etc are good. It is getting harder to get in because we get a lot of transfer students from USF who are coming to our school because they feel it is easier to get into our school. I believe they set aside a certain # of seats for non - South students. You also have to take the TEAS exam, though I do not know if a high score on it is an absolute determining factor for acceptance. The school is properly accredited and you do have the support of the staff and academic advisors. Be prepared to work hard and make sure that you are 100% committed to obtaining this degree. I chose to go here because they seem to have a good reputation and I was able to accomplish a Bachelors Degree in nursing in 3 years total time than the traditional 4 year time commitment. I will be taking the TEAS exam next week. Hopefully I will do well...my GPA is pretty good right now so I hope my chances are good. It all depends the average GPA for this group applying now, if the average is high then it all depends on everything else, but if the average is lower than my GPA then I have definately a pretty good chance of getting in.

Thanks for the info. My top choices are south university or university of Tampa. I am praying that I get accepted to either one. Just scared about the whole applying and accepting process.

hi everyone! I've been reading all the post so far and everything about South University sounds up to par but I still don't what is tuition...can someone please share that information with me?

looking at the website i don't see the labs as part of the gpa calculation... it merely says A&P, micro, and chem. On the other pg that includes all pre reqs for the degree it explicitly includes the lab... so does that mean for gpa purposes lab isn't included... and what are the average TEAS scores? I got an 80% on mine.
