I noticed that there isn't a thread yet for all of us who are thinking about applying next summer for UF's Accelerated BSN. I know it's only June but I can't be the only one who is already stressing about the application process, the essays, not being good enough, etc. ?
Hopefully this thread can be a place where we can ask questions and support each other throughout the process!
A little about me: I currently attend UF as a Health Education major and would love to stay here and study at the Gainesville campus, but if I get into the Jacksonville one I will gladly go there! They're also requiring the HESI exam this year and I was wondering if anyone knew any tips and tricks. I've only ever heard of the TEAS! I find it so interesting that this one tests our anatomy/physio knowledge, but also kinda frightening because anatomy at UF was a nightmare for me LOL.
Hi guys! Late the the game here, but I am currently a student in the Gainesville ABSN cohort graduating in 2020. Happy to answer any questions you still have! Best of luck to everyone:)

hi! Do you know how many students apply to the Gainesville campus/ how many get accepted? Also, do you recommend this nursing program? Thanks!!
also, sorry for the late post- obviously everyone’s already taken the HESI for the application. But, you have to take HESI every semester to pass, & I would suggest doing as many practice questions as possible. They require you buy the HESI/NCLEX prep book from Elsevier on admission, & the sections in it are helpful throughout the program. There are many online apps & programs you can purchase that give you a wide variety of practice exams & questions which have helped many of us who are currently in the program!
As far as recommending the program...that is completely subjective. It is definitely not a good fit for everyone. It’s extremely difficult & you MUST be 110% prepared. This program requires your full commitment every single day. I have watched people slack off for a single exam in one class & end up being dismissed because of it. It takes more self-discipline than some are willing to commit, but you just have to keep pushing through.
Has anyone completed the assessment yet? If so, what is the format? Is it free response? and how long did it take most of y'all?
Thanks and good luck ?
I just took it about an hour ago & it’s basically ranking statements that align most with you & your values in & out of the workplace. It took me a long time because I kept getting distracted, but it really shouldn’t take SUPER long
