USF applicants 2013

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Anyone applying to USF's (University of South Florida) nursing program?. I feel discouraged because I heard how competitive and rigorous it is.I have a 3.7 GPA. finished about half of my pre-reqs, got A's in all of my science courses. A B in statistics, ethics, and humanities:sarcastic:. I'm currently an ambassador at a community college and volunteering at a hospital. If those aren't good enough to get in the program I don't know what will lol. Is anyone here a USF nursing student? I would love to hear your experiences. I hope I can at least get into USF or my community college. If those fail..then it's off to or technical for me!!

I added those of you on FB that I could find (we should make a group or something) and I'm all signed up for the July 17th orientation as well. Do any of you still have to get CPR certified?

We still have loads of time for the CPR it says make sure it's active before the first day of classes...

I'm certified in CPR, but it expires in July of 2014. I don't know if they want me to renew it now or wait till it expires. I'm going to call and ask.

I have to get my CPR eve though my situation is awkward right now. Lol. I called office of admission they said that I have to do orientation so I signed up for the 17th.

I don't want to be all over you guys such as adding you guys on facebook cause I still don't know if I'm gonna find a spot in the program so I take it slow for now.

Anyone who can answer this for me ...currently I Live an hour away from Tampa but I don't have my financial ducks in a row ...now I may or may not be living in my current residence but I won't know till mid -end of July. So for the intent to enroll form should I just put my current residence then ? I'm afraid they're going to base my clinical placement on my current residence and place me far away...but it's all in the up and up I guess..

Not sure where you live but yes your clinical placement will be based on what county you live in... technically. That being said, I live in Pinellas and do clinicals in Hillsborough. You are in a hard spot but I would list the county where you believe you will be living when classes start.

Once assigned a clinical site, you are there for all of nursing school. As of yet, I have not seen anyone get their clinical site changed.

@PalmHarborMom I live in Hernando County so in trying to figure out if they would do an hospital near the campus or what...because I will be living in one of the off campus apartments ..it's just not gonna be soon enough ...it says to list the full adress so should I play it safe and list my current residence --I don't know if they look into it as much ...??
