University of South Florida Accelerated BSN

[*PaintedSky*]

Anyone have any insight on this program? I'm in the process of applying and would love to know about the school!

Sunflower, I have a doggie I am bringing all the way down to FL. He's two years old. I'm kinda worried that I won't be able to give him as much attention as I have been able to so far, but at least its only a short time in the scheme of things. I am worried tho...

Anyone else besides Sunflower19 and I going to be at the 7/21 orientation?

[Sunflower19]

hmm I wonder if I can get the Hep A at USF since, I wont be in WA to be able to get both here? If its required BEFORE orientation, I'm in a sinking boat.

They don't do Hep A at the USF health services but they do it at the immunization clinic (I'll give you the address and phone number if you need it!) And the accelerated advisor said that as long as you are in the process of getting the vaccination shots (like at least one of the Hep A's out of two) then as long as it shows when you are supposed to get your next shot its fine! :) I only got one of the Hep A's so far because I thought it was optional

[S22006]

you could probably get the one in WA and then in 6 months or whenever get the second one down here!

[S22006]

I think the hep a was $34 or something like that-- prices went up a little from the sheet they gave us

Does anyone know how many times we have to take the HESI exam? I know we are taking it on aug 27th but I was wondering if there were anymore times? I read that some schools require you to take it 3 times and the third time is to allow you to walk and get your diploma!

[NP Sam]

I don't know but I'm sure we will have to take an exit hesi if we are taking one in the beginning. Are we supposed to study for it? I mean I will anyway but is it expected?

[S22006]

I'm not sure, I'll probably look over some things and find things to practice with. I really don't want to have to do those workshops if I get under a 75%

[Sunflower19]

what is hesi?

Hi Sunflower19, I bought a ICD-BX700 Sony digital recorder at Wal-Mart. It records up to 288 Max. Hours in LP mode. I believe it cost about $39.00. It is very easy to use and, yes, I will be in the 2010 Fall session. See you there!
