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.
I live about 25-30 minutes ago so I will be commuting to school. Yeah my letter said clinicals in 2016 and it will take me 7 semesters to graduate because the first semester there we need to complete all the prereqs. I wonder which prereqs they're talking about since I've done my anatomy, physiology, micro, and psych
They have a few classes they don't accept as transfer and a few courses that are specific to their university's graduation requirements. I think we may need to take their nutrition, theology, ethics, and intro to nursing kind of class.
I live in east San Jose and am not 100% sure if this is a realistic commute at just under 2 hours with moderate traffic. Would any of you consider living in dorms or would everyone look into off campus housing in Daly city or the outskirts of SF?
. Nope not decided on housing. Are any of you guys planning to commute ? Anyone from San Jose?
