USF ABSN 2017

MamaNurseLlama, BSN, RN · Mar 9, 2017

I got denied too. BOOO! Good luck to everyone else though!! You got this!

What is your plan B?

I am going to try a ASN with a local community college. No waste of time here! Then, I can continue to the BSN after getting my RN license.

Congratulations everyone who got it and for the ones who didn't: Don't give up!!!

I applied to a few other schools (for ABSN) out of the area and I am also going to look at Keiser University in Sarasota. The program is about 35K, so definitely a lot more. I am wondering if the other state schools like UF, UCF and Fl State are going to all be as competitive as USF was? ( I did not apply to UF, UCF of FL State, just curious).

I am waiting to hear back from one more school, then if that doesn't work out, then I will go the same route, ASN to BSN......sigh, the STRUGGLE IS SO REAL.

I see there is a USF orientation on March 13. Does anybody know if there's other orientation dates?

CLue2 · Mar 10, 2017

I'm not particularly sure which Orientation that would be. According to the USF Nursing website, the Orientation for the Summer Second Degree Nursing Program is on April 21st, from 7am to 5pm.

You can find the info here: Application Process | USF Health

I am not sure which Orientation that would be, but for the Summer Start Second Degree Nursing Program it's on April 21st from 7am to 5pm if I'm not mistaken. Starting Monday, March 13th, it's Spring Break at USF if that makes a difference.

From what I understand, all the universities are super competitive. UF's application required you to calculate all your science classes and so much more but it looks like they switched over to a centralized application system similar to physician assistant school or medical school applications. UF and USF don't require the TEAS test, UCF does.

I've heard that HCC has a waiting list, although I think they are doing away with that. Another great school is PHSC but it's in Pasco county. They have multiple campuses and nursing classes at each campus. There is also SPC. On the private side, there's UTICA and Rasmussen. Both are super expensive but they have Accelerated BSN programs.

Good luck next week everyone! I hope we find out by Friday!

Just came back from my interview. Try not psych yourself out, the interviewers were very friendly. The girl at the front said we could hear back as early as Thursday. Best of luck to everyone!

Hey! Thank you for letting us know. What questions did they ask you?

Lily D · Mar 20, 2017

The integrity of the interview process should be kept intact so I wouldn't expect anybody to answer that question. Especially knowing that you are vying for a slot as well. Just go in there confident and you will be fine.
