I completed all my prerequisites at HCC - last fall i took Dep, HUN, CHM and Statistics - all online except CHM. Dep and HUN are definitely a good opportunity to raise your GPA (i can recommend good professors if you'd like). CHM and STAT require a bit more work but are totally do-able. I'm sure you can get all A's with a bit of work.

You have been so helpful I thank you so much for sharing. .. yes please PM me with which prof you took. I will be taking the same exact classes this fall. I was thinking taking chm1020C because its a chem class and lab in one. Its called chemistry in society.

And when u PM me cn u tell me if the teachers gave a review before test and their teaching methods

Also how was your online class experience. I never took an online class .. was it all online .. or hybrid.. how difficult was it? I have 3 kids and I work, so im worried about the class load.

I was able to get March 28, but I registered on Friday.

I was also able to secure a spot for orientation on the 28th

Hi everyone! I was accepted into the second degree program starting this summer as well! Look forward to meeting everyone on April 11th. FYI...I called the orientation office today and they have opened up more spots for the March 28th date. I was able to register today, so if you haven't, try again and you should be able to. He did say the spots fill quickly, so register as soon as possible.

Duplicate....oops

Does anyone know if you have been wait listed if you need to sign up for an orientation date just in case?

I had sent an email to see if I could get the March 28th date here is what the reply is.

Hey Elicia

You don't need to attend orientation because you have been accepted into the college of nursing. They have their own orientation seperate from us. I am going to go ahead and cancel your reservation for you. Here is the form for the refund request

What? That doesn't make any sense, because on the CON website it says to attend general orientation first and then nursing orientation because general orientation is required first. One of the nursing advisors at USF that I spoke to today via email confirmed that general orientation and immunizations need to be taken care of prior to signing up for nursing classes.

From the CON website:

[h=3]USF Orientation[/h] If you are a brand new University of South Florida degree seeking student, welcome! You MUST attend the University's General Orientation in addition to the Nursing Student Orientation. You can register for Orientation online at Welcome to Orientation | University of South Florida. It is strongly recommended that you attend the March 28, 2014 USF Orientation to ensure you can register for classes at the Nursing Student Orientation. If you are unable to attend the USF orientation on that date, you may attend on May 8, 2014 but you will not be able to register for classes until that date.

:) that's interesting, isn't it... sounds like yet another example of miscommunication between USF office of admissions and college of nursing. And someone evidently has no idea what the process is. I'm pretty sure that all new students (who have just been admitted to USF) have to attend general university orientation. My understanding is that only those who have been admitted and attended orientation in the past don't have to do it now.

You DO need to go to the general USF Orientation. I don't know why they said you don't but they will block you from registering classes in Oasis if you don't. You need to go to both orientations.

I was confused with this conflicting Information so I did ask him to confirm what he was saying. Here is the reply:

Hi Elecia,

I looked up your information and would like to finally confirm for you that you will need to attend a USF orientation program in addition to the Nursing Student Orientation. You are still coded as pre-nursing in our system which means that you may still need some pre-requisites or that nursing has not fully accepted you into their program yet. For more information on that, you would need to contact the College of Nursing. I apologize for all of this confusion. If you have any questions please feel free to email us or give our office a call. Have a great day!
