UF Accelerated BSN, Summer 2018

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Hi all!

It's pretty early on but I'd love to meet and chat with the potential applicants for this program. I also think it'd be great to have this forum in case we stumble upon application questions and such. Maybe some successful applicants in the past may pop in to say hello as well!

What are your feelings about this program or even UF in general? Are you applying to other programs? Where are you from?

@gskpriya96: That does sound really nice! I like that theres a lot to do/ great restaurants in Tampa, but for students without a car, it can be hard to get around. If and when I get out to UF, I hope to not need to use my car too often and it sounds like that may be the case. :-)

And that's great to hear about the teachers! I hope the nursing program will be the same way, although I wouldn't see why they wouldn't be. I'm excited for the program because I believe we will have lots of opportunities to work with one another as well as our teachers. :-)

@Minimalka: I have heard good things about the teachers in the nursing program and that they really do care and help. So the main struggle is to get into the program and then we will see how the rest goes! Also, do you think that we have to wait for the post bac app to be processed before we start the NursingCas or can we do that simultaneously?

@gskpriya96: That's really great to hear! It's a great school/ program so I would expect nothing less! I hope we all make it, I'm super nervous. Also, I actually do think you need to do the post bacc first/ get accepted into the university. If you don't do this ahead of time, it could slow down the process from what it seems. My goal is to actually have my application/ transcripts out by June 1st for the program (I'm not sure how long it will take to process, so I figured 2 or so months would be good timing since the application itself is open August- December).

Have you heard differently?

I remember my friend talking about it I think.. But I am not entirely sure. I do remember her saying that to not wait till later and its best to get it done sooner. But I would have to ask her again and also email the advisor about it.

Thanks for the kind words, guys! Makes me feel a lot better about the application process. What is Kenneth's email? I don't see anything under the contact section of the admissions website. Anyway, looking forward to doing this all together as a team!

PS - living arrangements are plentiful and vary in terms of price range (just depends on what you're looking for), but the town itself is great. Quaint and full of Gators lol I'm excited with the prospect of going back even though I haven't been there in years!!

Here is his email: [email protected]. I'm looking forward to working together with you guys and to get to know you guys!

Sounds great!!! and yes I look forward to it too! I hope other people find the thread as well in case anyone needs help with the applications and whatnot. How cool would it be to all get in and be classmates but be able to say we met on this forum?! :-) HAH!

That would be an awesome reunion and meeting in person haha :)

Sooooo I emailed Kenneth and he got back to me like a a day or two later. Literally bullet points and 3 sentences total. :/

And yes, I have to retake statistics :( gonna try to find a good teacher at my school now and take it this fall!

Ah dang thats a short response, but was he straight to the point and were the answers clear?

I hope the answers were at least clear! I emailed him last week and got a similar, short response. He's probably just busy, but hopefully it was to the point. :-)

It stinks that you have to retake stats, but hopefully it will be a breeze!!!

BTW, have either of you started your application and sending in transcripts yet? I'm a little confused on how long it will take to get this all processed, plus I saw online that there was already a passed deadline for pre health under grad admissions. I would assume this likely doesn't apply to our program? I may email Kenneth about this. :-(

I am waiting to do my application because I am taking couple of classes right now. Where did you see the deadlines? This whole thing is nerve wrecking... I have to email him..
