UCF/SSC Spring 2014

Hello ! I would be applying to the concurrent program, however, my TEAS score was two points away from 78%. So I'm applying to only the RN program. What is your GPA and TEAS score and last PreReq ?

Hi BOWESA!

My stats aren't that great unfortunately so I'm a little worried. I got waitlisted for Fall 2013 but no spots opened up

GPA 3.3, TEAS 83%, and i finished my last pre-reqs in Simmer 2011 but then they made me take the diet therapy class this summer so I'm afraid it may hurt me a bit

Is legal and within the scope of my RN license and massage license to do foot care ( nail and wound) on my private clients in the state of Florida? Should I be WOCN certified to do this ? I realize that I should probably not do manicures or trim nails on diabetic clients.

Are there any WOCN accredited CEU programs in Florida?

You will totally get in this term then, rn-inprogress2013 ! Your GPA is not bad at all and your TEAS score is very well! Do you have a feeling of what date completion they will look at for the application ? I finished my PreReqs in Fall of 2012 and this is my first time applying to the program.

rn-in-progress2013 · Sep 17, 2013

Hopefully!

I am not sure about the dates they'll look at, but I am thinking maybe Fall 2012 and back, depends on the overall statistics of the group of us applying. I'm sure you'll be just fine. The next 4-6 weeks are gonna be painful to wait through.

BOWESA · Sep 18, 2013

Yes, it is a super painful wait! Are you applying anywhere else besides SSC/UCF ?

Good luck guys! I am currently in the ucf basic program! Any of you apply to it? I will be more than happy to answer any questions! In my first semester :)

My teas score wasn't high enough! I will have to wait until march to apply. Good luck to everyone!

BOWESA · Sep 28, 2013

Hello jv713 ! I have SOO many questions for you so I'm sorry in advance. (:

How are you liking the program so far? How much time a week do you put into studying? Is it possible to have a part-time job while in nursing school? What was your GPA and TEAS score before getting accepted into the program? If I don't get into SSC's nursing program this spring then I'm planning on retaking my TEAS and applying to both the concurrent and generic program.

-Thank you ! (:

Glad I can be of help!! So far I am loving the nursing program! Our mid term exam for our one class is 2

Weeks away, so this semester is already half way over! It's going super fast but I learning so much! Basically what I can tell from this first semester is that, it is ALOT of busy work. Organization is KEY. A planner will be your new best friend. We have assignments/quizzes

Every week. In some classes we only have 2-3 exams. If you can

Get a head start and do assignments that are due not for another few weeks or so, DO them. So far I am doing well with organizing myself and I am able to stay very Much on top of things.

Yes it is possible to work and be in the program. I work at a restaurant and I work 2 shifts a week (just one double on Saturday) and I am still able to stay ahead of schedule with assignments.

As for studying, I do SOMETHING everyday. Even if it's just 1 assignment. I try to do more

Than 1 assignment a day though to keep ahead. I am still able to have time for myself too. I go to the gym 3/4 times a week, but ofcourse it varies depending on your workload for the week.

And my scores were...

TEAS 83.3

Overall GPA 3.67 I think

PRE req GPA 4.0

And then ofcourse you have your interview (which wasn't so bad!!)

Ofcourse this is my input for the few weeks I have experienced so far... I hear 2nd semester is the hardest!

Let me know if you have any other questions :)

Thank you SOO much ! I feel way less stressed now. I will definitely let you know if I have any other questions ! (:
