UCF 2013 Fall-Orlando generic BSN applicants?

Katsmeow · Feb 21, 2013

Nope. I think we will hear around the end of march or early April.

MamaKate, yes they have a very high percent pass rate for the NCLEX, so they definitely prepare us; however, NCLEX is raising the score required to pass this April, so the pass rate will likely lower overall in the country due to the score increase! They use NCLEX type questions in each class during regular tests to get you use to the format or typical wording of NCLEX questions (and a lot of select all that apply). Also, there are ATI tests throughout the program, each semester, for multiply classes which gauge how well you mastered the material for each class. I'm sure the review gets more intense during the last year of the program as well.

@GoKnights

Thanks for your reply. I have no doubt I would be well prepared for NCLEX. :)

How's everything going this semester so far?

I'm very very thankful for this forum! I'm applying to both accelerated and basic BSNs for this cycle. The waiting is horrible! But the nervous energy is helping me get a lot more done at work. I'm presently taking the nutrition and HIV class at UCF, so hopefully that will help out a little.

Has anyone had mix-ups with their applications? I was emailed telling me my fingerprints and background check weren't in, but I did them in December. Then got a call saying, nevermind, my name was mixed up with two other people. Getting really nervous that something like that would keep out. Has anyone had similar experiences?

I got a denial email yesterday because they stated my transcripts weren't there. Turns out I got listed as a grad student and they couldn't see my transcripts. Luckily, it got sorted out and I'm still being considered for both accelerated and the regular program, so I guess mistakes on their end do happen.

I'm very thankful for this forum too. It helps to vent and share with others this somewhat stressful process.

Good luck guys. :)
