USF Transfer Applicant from UC Davis

Published

Hi everyone,

I am new to this site so I was wondering if I could have a few nurses and student help me out with my situation. After posting in a large forum someone commented to start a forum in the CA nursing program forum. I recently applied to transfer into USF's nursing program for the Fall of '11. I am very scared of my odds. I have a 3.3 G.P.A. and have taken a few of the general education courses needed such as statistics and psychology. I have not taken any of the classes needed to start clinical. I am a volunteer at Sutter Davis Health Hospital, work at the UC Davis Undergraduate Research Center, participate in UC Davis Center for Leadership and Learning, and I am a part of the newly started Nursing Club on Campus. What do you guys think are my chances are of being admitted?

Thank you

any comments or suggestions? anything would be appreciated

i will also keep those who are interested in USF posted on my status

I went to USF nursing school, but started in the BSN program as a freshman so I don't know much about transferring. Just wanted to say good luck!

What do you mean by not taking any of the classes to take clinical? If possible, take all required classes to make your application stronger. That is about all I can offer in the way of advice, other than to speak with a nursing school advisor to get their take on your advancement. Good luck.

Overall I really liked the program. I made some close friends and the majority of my professors and clinical instructors were very helpful. Clinicals in the city are cool because you have so many hospitals to choose from and you get a wide variety of patients and healthcare settings. The main thing that I didn't like was the price! Luckily I had a really good scholarship that covered almost everything, but baseline tuition there is ridiculous!

Keep me updated on the progress of your application. :) I plan on applying Fall 2011. Good luck with your application. Don't worry too much about the pre-requisites, but I do believe you need the following courses:

BIOL 113 Human Anatomy Lecture

BIOL 114 Human Anatomy Lab

BIOL 115 Physiology Lecture and Lab

BIOL 134 Microbiology Lecture

BIOL 135 Microbiology Lab

PSYC 101 General Psychology

Have you taken a look at their curriculum? You can find it in a PDF file at the following link:

Hi Giant Panda. I applied for Fall 2011. The application date for the undergraduate nursing program was January 15th. Are you sure you have the right information or are you applying for a different program? I would love to keep you updated! Thank you for listing a few of the classes I need. The email I received listed all the ones they suggested I take while waiting to hear back.

I started volunteering for the same reason, and i just started so i hope it works out. The thing that really helped was, i will do it while i job search, hopefully it helps me network and if nothing else i get to say this is what i did with the time gap while i job searched.
