UCF SUMMER 2015 Accelerated Nursing Program

ahenderscheid · Mar 20, 2015

Btw I don't think that's true... How do you know that just out of curiosity? Because i talked to one of the advisors today and they told me that not everyone got in last year off the waitlist

I spoke to two advisors saying that was the case. They said everyone wait listed got in for the 2014 pool of candidates. But that's what I was told, it could be wrong.

I spoke to Mrs. Washam (I might have misspelled her name ) she said the email with all the additional info will go out next week. She said to focus on gathering our immunizations BLS from American Heart Association and financial aid. Just a heads up, there is a form that second degree students have to complete in order to receive financial aid. You have to meet with someone from the nursing department because part of the form must be filled out by the school of nursing.
The form is on UCF's financial aid website.

Thanks. I didn't know about the form. I am getting on the ball with financial aid this coming week. Also, the nursing advisor at the general transfer orientation said an email will go out before the nursing orientation telling us what exact sections of the classes for summer session we need to enroll in.

Glad someone started this thread specifically for this track. I came here wondering about the email as well. Exciting and nerve-wrecking at the same time!

Hello everyone! my name is Stephanie I was accepted to the 2015 accelerated nursing program. I am currently a teacher and I am leaving me position to attend nursing school. I am very nervous and excited all at the same time. Has anyone signed up for the HIPPA or HIV certification classes yet?

Valladrama · Mar 22, 2015

Hi, Stephanie, and congratulations! I haven't signed up because I'm kind of afraid to sign up for the wrong thing since they haven't send any "official" information. Are you planning on taking it through UCF?

stephsig90 · Mar 22, 2015

I feel the same way, I don't want to sign up for the wrong course. I am planning on doing it through UCF. I can't wait to get the email with the list of everything that we need to get done.

First of all, I would like to congratulate everyone who has been accepted to the 2015 accelerated nursing program! For those of you who did not get accepted, don't give up. I applied last year before taking chemistry and I did not get accepted.

I wanted to see if anyone who is planning on attending the 2015 UCF accelerated program would like to get together before the program starts. I want all of us to be successful in the program and in our future nursing careers.

My goal is to successfully complete the program while staying happy and healthy. We are going to have a lot on our plates so I think it is really important that we all support each other on this journey. If anyone is interested in trying to get together before the program starts please let me know.

I know it and I feel like we won't have much time to get everything in. Talk about a mad dash to the finish line.

Valladrama · Mar 22, 2015

You can count me in.

I will be attending the April 10 orientation as well and I would love to meet up before we start with anyone interested! Also would you guys be interested in starting a facebook group?

stephsig90 · Mar 23, 2015

I think a facebook group would be a good idea. For everyone who is interested in meeting up before orientation please send an me an email on my personal email [email protected] so I can organize a date.

If anyone was wondering we do not need to complete the HIPPA and HIV classes until we have started the program.
