Hi everyone! Is there anybody else out there applying to the University of West Florida for Fall 2012 BSN?

Hey! I am not applying but I just wanted to wish everyone out there good luck. I am currently in the program graduating on May 2012. I got my accepatnce letter May 3, 2010. My gpa at the time was 3.5 and I had not finished all the pre reqs wen I applied. I had about 60+ community service hours. Hopes this gives you an idea ??? Good luck!

Congratulations on your acceptance! Do you know what the average GPA's were from when you were accepted? And how were clinicals and the program as a whole? Thanks!

i'd say 3.5 was about the average. I hated the program while I was in it but now that I look back and am talking to students of other nursing programs, I actually think it is a good program. Clinicals were very awkward at first. You feel out of place, in the way, and clueless! I was so scared first semester in clinical, but thats all apart of nursing. I am still nervous to this day but my skills have improved tremendously. I think awkwardness is the best way to describe clinical! you dont know what to do and you're nervous. First semester is just doing tech work, ya no like bed baths, linen changes. You give meds with your teacher and must have your drug cards with all drug info on it with you. You start at the bottom of the totem pole but the program is a great experience

This wait is making me so anxious! I had a good TEAS score 93, but my overall undergrad GPA was only 3.0. My prerequisite GPA was 3.88. I have regrets about mismanaged priorities in my early college days. Ah. I hope the review board considers recent studies more heavily. The May 17th deadline is quickly approaching! Has anyone heard anything yet?? Good luck to all who applied for the coveted 40 spots!

I talked to a lady named Dale about the program, and she said that they added 10 extra spots, so instead of only accepting 40 they accept 50. She also said because of them changing to the prereq's having to have been completed, many people didn't qualify so they only have about 100 applicants. So hopefully that means we have a better shot! And with your TEAS score, I'm sure you'll have no problem!

Oh yeah, I called yesterday and they said they might have decisions out by the end of next week!

A 50/50 chance is definitely encouraging! I had no idea how many people were being considered. It's wonderful extra spots were added. Thanks for the info!

I'm getting soooo anxious and nervous!! Your comments about changing it from 40 to 50 made me feel better. And the fact that there are only 100 applicants is relieving. I just hope that one of them is me!!! I wish they would let us know already!

I didn't make it in :/ I'm pretty bummed. I was selected as an alternate but I really doubt that's going to make a difference. Hope you all had better luck!

I got alternate too. i'm sending it back the letter today. i'm sure if they got in at uwf they got in other places as well and maybe they will chooce to go somewhere else. good luck to everyone that made it! let me know what your gpa/ teas score was if you got in just for referance!

I am sorry to hear that you did not make it. I got in and am very excited! I already turned in my letter to claim my spot. But you never know, there may be people that don't accept their spot at UWF and go somewhere else!
