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.
Nursing Transfer Information Sessions are offered on the 1st Wednesday of the month (excluding March, July and December) at 4:00 in the Office of Undergraduate Admission. RSVP is NOT required for Nursing information sessions.
All meetings are held at the Office of Undergraduate Admission, in the Lone Mountain building Rm 203 at the main campus in San Francisco.
I plan on attending this upcoming session on the 6th, but I have planned all my courses out out till graduation already. I was able to transfer a majority of my general education and looks like I will only need to take the two nurs100 series this fall. Im mostly planing on attending to make sure my unique approach to saveing money will work out in the long run.
Has anyone created an account on the USFCA school app or is this something that isn't very popular?
But (and I don't know how much stock to put in this) I accidentally found out I got into another program by checking my online status, and my acceptance letter for that hasn't arrived either... So at least one letter is traveling around the bay slowly...
lol I think Julia meant to post that on another board we are on. I really hope we find out today. Nothing came yesterday and she never responded to my email. I'm pretty positive there's not much hope for me
