UNF Summer 2014 BSN hopefuls

Published

Hi everyone!

With the deadline only a little over a month away, I figured we all need a place to stress, hope and worry! I just took my first stab at the TEAS and hit the average score of the past few years (335). I have a 3.9 GPA. One pre-req left. Applying for ABSN. I'm scheduled for a second TEAS attempt next month. How is everyone else doing? Drooling over stats as much as I am?? Any interview preparation plans?

Thank you, I found it! I'm not really nervous, just more excited than anything! So what led everyone to want to be a nurse? I'm guessing for some of you this is a second career because of the Accelerated track!

Happy you found it! This is a second career for me but, like lexi said, it feels more like the step I wanted to take in the beginning! I was a biology major (veterinarian) turned psychology major (healthcare!) and I instead ended up staying with the Vision Care company that I worked for while I was in college! With the birth of my son, I felt compelled to finish what I started and even more compelled to take it to a totally hands on career after experiencing inpatient care as a patient for both me and my son. It was the most powerful inspiring experience of my life to date. I have never felt more sure of life's purpose ever before!!

I think (and Lexi can probably attest to this, as well!) that as a second career / experienced person everything is so much clearer because you have lived a little, and you know what works and what doesn't. Life changes when you start a family!! Especially when tiny feet are watching every move your big feet make! I'm so excited! I hope we all get in because I have so enjoyed chatting with all of you!

I do get those weird emails about the audit but i am 100% i submitted everything on time. So I try not to worry. Plus I have not yet received an email stating I'm missing something so that's good!

that's a perfect way to describe those emails: weird! They confuse me and freak me out all in the same breath because what are you saying? Did I forget something?! ha ha!

HellooNursh- Glad I'm not alone... but.... you are only on your first freak out moment!!? ;) I keep telling myself to breath and relax.. the app is in and can't do anything about it now except wait! But, that is definitely easier said than done. Definitely nervous and excited... can't wait to hear something!

HaHa! I have been following the application process by the T and bugging Nursing Admissions plenty with my questions so I've not had a reason to freak out. lol But, good news is my audit updated today. She is good, that Beth! :)

Hi guyssssssssss, I'm applying for the Summer BSN program too and am FREAKING OUT! lol, as I'm sure many of you are. Yikes, I have never felt such stress in my life. Although I'm the type of person that WOULD apply to the most competitive nursing school in FL, at least it seems that way haha.

Welcome to the stress forum! :) I'm sure you will be just fine! Hoping for Regular or Accelerated? Feel good about your scores? I feel like this particular cohort is scary because you don't know what to expect since you can take TEAS more than once. You pray everything stats wise stayed the same so you have a chance!

Did anybody else take the TEAS twice? Any massive improvement in your score? That wasn't the case for me. It improved but not massively.

Helloonursh, I hear ya about stalking admissions, I'm right there with ya lol. And nope for me, I just took it once, got a 90.7, and called it a day lol. I was hoping for a little higher and I did the worst I had ever done (vs pre-tests) on the math section so taking it again did cross my mind... but I'm hoping my score will be enough. Welcome new folks! We can all panic here together ;) at least the deadline is finally here so we can start counting down to hearing something!

I'm so nervous and excited! This will be the longest 4 weeks ever! I sent my dad's wife flowers today. She has been watching my son while I take prereqs and work. Told her the deadline is today and I couldn't have made it this far without her!

Yeah exactly! My TEAS was a 352 and pre-req GPA was a 3.66, Which sucks because I didn't even know I wanted to go to this school until recently, when I found out that I REAAALLLY want to go to UNF, and am now stuck with the grades I got. I had a 3.7 overall but I know that doesn't count. I'm applying for regular track, just got my AA and very proud since I am the first in my family to go to college. But I think that what was said already was accurate, that we are the psychos stalking the forums and probably a good chunk of the other students wouldn't care that much or find it necessary to retake when the national avg was so low..
