Tampa area pre-nursing

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

After browsing the forums for awhile and reading what everyone has to say regarding the nursing schools in Tampa, I would look to hear anymore input on schools in the Tampa area and the path I want to take.

I currently have a B.S. and will be completing the last 2 classes needed for my pre-reqs (A&P2 and human nutrition) during Fall 2019. I plan on applying for the Spring 2020. I obviously want to take the quickest route possible and would love to skip over getting an ASN. I'm 28 and the goal is to apply for CRNA school.

USF - Applied for the pre-nursing program exactly one month ago. After being accepted (possibly) I will be applying to the accelerated program and the 'upper division' program.

UT - I reached out to their program to gather more information. Basically in order to apply to the program you have to have an AA with their list of ~10 classes you need prior to applying to their 4 year program. Am I missing something on this? What's the benefit of paying for a private 4 year program that requires 10 classes to apply?

HCC - A good fall back. Doing my ASN at HCC and then applying for the BSN program at USF 2 years later.

Rasmussen College - I reached out to inquire about their accelerated program. They require TEAS scores that need to be due by October 12th. I'm a little worried about this one because I'm currently deployed and can't take the TEAS until I get back. I don't have a set date and looking at getting back early October so it's still an option for now.

Any other options I may be missing or need to look in to?

HCC has a concurrent program with USF.
