UCF 2010-2011 accelerated nursing program

I got accepted also, but I just can't get myself to waste an entire summer and then graduate in December and lose months of pay and experience that I need to later apply to graduate programs. I really don't understand why UF changed their curriculum like that, their "accelerated program" starts the same time as their traditional program and ends only 1 semester prior. However, the traditional program will now have the summer off so the accelerated program is just as long as the traditional.

Anyway goodluck to you.

Ive been to UCF three times now, and their housing (at least compared to housing in Gainesville) isn't any good. They are very expensive and most of the complexes near campus are run down. There are a couple that are nice like The Edge, but they are currently at full capacity, and The Lofts, but ive never seen such a small bedroom! Take a tour and youll understand what I mean.

I will be starting a new thread to see if anyone is interested in a house 5-6 minutes from campus, its a 4 bedroom home in a Gated Community that costs 1500 a month. Split 4 ways, it is much less then an apartment. We currently have two bedrooms left. If anyone on this thread is interested let me know. I will post a picture of the house but you can PM for further details.

Dear UFProspect,

I could not find the thread for your house but would like to receive more information about it, if you have any rooms left. Please email with information.

Well just signed up for my insurance through blue cross blue shield. I went with the GoBlue plan, I know its cheap and doesn't offer a whole lot of coverage, but for $27/month I can't complain. Only thing left to do know is my CPR class on the 13th of this month and I will be done with all these requirements. Whew, I feel like that was a big hoop to jump through. Now I have to move on to looking for student loans to fund this program now. Hope everyone else is doing well with getting all their stuff in order.

Does anyone know how to find the facebook page that was created for us? I tried searching for it but no luck.

Ms. Jazzo, I am taking loans as well. I have called the financial aid office about summer aid. I was told that they aren't certifying loans until students have registered for classes, which won't be until the week before class starts for us. I'm a little paranoid about how that will work!

Any UCF grads? We don't have to go to the regular UCF orientation right?

Juliehope42, Glad to know Im not the only one paranoid about this whole summer loan thing! It is strange that they do it so late...especially for someone like me who likes to plan in advance. I have never gone through the financial aid thing before and I am pretty sure everyone at the financial aid office is sick of me calling with all my questions!

I am a UCF grad as well and we do not have to go through the UCF orientation again...one less thing we have to do : )

Me too! This financial aid thing makes me nervous as well...I emailed them today asking about the award information. From what I understand the award info goes out during mid April, but you have to be enrolled at-least half-time to receive aid. So does that mean we won't get anything until we can register for all our classes? I haven't heard back from them yet...what have you heard from them?

I was notified by allnurses that I am not allowed to post the link in accordance with the forum's terms and services but if you search for UCF Accelerated BSN 2010-2011 that is the exact group title.

The financial aid office hates me . I've emailed them about 100 times with a ton of questions. They told me they will not certifying loans until we are registered for classes. I asked the Nursing Dept what to do. One lady said they could write a letter for the financial aid dept to let them know we wouldn't be registered until mid-May. The financial aid dept said they would not accept this. I'm at a loss. I get very confused about financial aid - I've never used it before.

I guess there is no need for me to contact the aid office. I am not liking that process at all . Aid at USF was a smooth process. The thought of getting less aid is crossing my mind. I did the MPN and entrace on the Fasfa site. There is also an entrance to do on UCF website.

I know. It makes me so nervous. I hate the thought of waiting until the last second to get financial aid.

It really makes a difference. I was last mintue with deciding to attend USF over the university I was at and boy the grants were slim. The next year I got a lot of grants. There was no difference in income just the timely fashion of things.
