I created this thread for anyone who applied/applying/got accepted to USF BSN or program. If anyone has any insight, words of wisdom, or anything else that might be useful, it would be much appreciated. Here is a little info about myself to kick this off...
I am currently living in the SF bay area and Im finishing off a few courses before I transfer to a 4 year college next semester. I applied for USF's BSN fall 15 program and here are some of my STATS:
*Academics: I have a 3.8 in my prereqs and a 3.5 (overall) GPA.
*Experience/Volunteer Work: I am a Army veteran with 8 years of experience in health care. ( I have worked in the ICU & ER, at Brooke Army Medical Center for about 6 months. Went on several humanitarian missions which consisted of providing medical aid to rural communities in developing countries. I've also done a tour in Afghanistan, working in a combat support hospital.)
* Personal statement: Writing has never been my strong suit... :-/.. but I wrote it in story format (based on my deployment) and how the values of the military compliment USF's core values.
*Letter of Recommendation: My human anatomy instructor (PhD)
Lastly, I'll keep everyone posted on my application status if any future students want to use this thread as a point of reference.
Just to get some information I just sent an email to the nursing transfer department asking them how will receive our decisions by email or mail . I am sure they would be so tiered of seeing all our emails and receiving calls regarding transfers:(.
Ok I emailed the counselor that had my application switched and informed me last semester that all acceptances had been sent out when I hadn't heard. I said I heard we would be notified by April 1 but were all the acceptances already sent out. I also asked if it would be by email or mail.
Oh ok great. I didn't email the counselor directly. It was just a general email for nursing department. So, i guess you will recieve a quick response from the counselor:) .Lets see what they will tell us.
