UCF traditional bsn 2020

Published

I know this is kind of early, but I just wanted to know, for the people who are applying to ucf's traditional bsn program for 2020, what are your stats? I was looking at the forum for last year's applicants and that got me really nervous since many of those people had some pretty amazing stats, and some didn't even get accepted. I plan on applying to either Daytona or Orlando campuses, though Daytona is my first choice

CONGRATS on getting accepted into Cocoa! Are you going to accept the offer at Cocoa? And ya, I noticed that they do give preference to UCF pre-nursing students, which kinda makes sense, but it sucks for transfers who may have higher stats and they don't get invited.

Yes I will be accepting the cocoa one! It does make sense. I was a little sad at first but now I'm excited about this new journey.

CONGRATS everyone who got accepted to UCF Nursing!

For me, I got waitlisted for both Cocoa and Daytona campus(Cocoa was my first priority).

For future students, Here are my stats

overall GPA: 4.0

TEAS: 80

I think TEAS is way important than GPA. I took three times for TEAS, but due to English is my second language, I couldn't increase the score. And I kinda expected it.

I wish you good luck on getting off the waitlist! Keep in mind that they’ll be a few people that fail/don’t complete the drug test and background check or completely decline their acceptance and attend elsewhere. It also helps that you have a regional campus as your first preference. Sending positive energy your way ❤️

Hey y’all,

First congratulations to all! I’m a junior nursing student at the Cocoa campus. I couldn’t help but comment, students who were waitlisted through the regional campuses have a good chance of getting off the waitlist. Some people in my cohort were accepted from the waitlist, so keep your hopes up! If anyone has questions about the curriculum, clinicals, labs, schedule, I’ll try to answer it based on what we do in Cocoa, (might be the same for Orlando/Daytona).

Thank you! Any input would be greatly appreciated. What is the actual schedule like? What are labs and clinical like? Give us the lowdown! ?

Typically, you have classes Monday's and Wednesday’s then labs. In Cocoa, they’re pretty generous with your schedule, they will not give you two long days. My schedule was typically 8am-4pm on those days. Labs were fun, they teach you skills, injections, assessments, foleys (fun). For the first semester, they will not throw you in the deep end for clinicals. Essentially, you have HPAL clinicals (community health) and then 10 8-hour shifts of long term care (for essentials). Long term care for us were five weeks, Thursday and Friday during the second half of the semester. You will not go into a hospital setting until Adult 1, Spring semester. Bummed we couldn’t finish, I do miss seeing patients ?

Nope not yet. I'm assuming they'll send it out soon though.
