I got my early request yesterday! So excited. Everyone told me two semesters early and that is what happened! See you all on Friday!

Awesome! Thanks! See you guys on Friday!!!

Can you tell me what the hours are for those days?? and do they ever schedule anything on Friday or Saturday?

Froggie14 · Nov 3, 2013

This semester it was 9-1230 MW & 9-4 TR w/ 1 hour lunch 12-1.. Pretty sure that will be the same for you guys. We didn't have anything scheduled for Friday's or Saturdays.

Awesome! Thanks! How long did it take your background check to come back?

Congrats to all of you! I'm so excited and very nervous at the same time! Look forward to meeting you all on Friday :). I have not started my background check . Has anyone started doing all that? I already have my CPR card and have most of my vaccines up to-date. Currently, I am living down south so i will have to move back to Orlando closer to Spring semester.

Did i read that right ?.. No class on Fridays? I'm guessing until we start clinicals?

Thank you so much for your advice! :) I've been wanting to know a little bit more about the program from a nursing student's perspective.

I talked to you a while back and remembered you told me it took like 4 months to finally get an acceptance letter form them. well its been over 14 weeks for me and i emailed them last week and they said they have my application but that they are behind. ugh the wait sucks! I too am applying for Spring of 2015. So are you starting in spring 2014 now? if so thats amazing! thats 3 semesters early! let me know if you have any details!?..lol..and congrats!

I originally applied for Spring 2015 but accepted for Fall 2014. Today I got an email asking if I wanted to start this Spring if there were open seats. I hope I get in!

The wait definitely won't be as long as they say it is. I didn't I don't even have to wait a full year. I was feeling really down about starting so late but this really came out of nowhere. As for your application, they take forever but don't worry as long as you have all the requirements you're in.

@ciaomaria

Thats so insane that you didnt even have to wait a full year!! I am still waiting like I said. I was hoping for atleast Summer 2014. but anything is better than spring 2015. I am excited for you! let me know how everything goes at your orientation on fri. So i know what to expect! yay!

I set up my certified background stuff today and went and did my fingerprints as well. My drug test form isn't ready to print yet so I couldn't do that. I'm going to have my doctor sign what immunizations she can next Monday and then this Friday (at orientation when CentraCare is there) I'm going to see if they can do my flu shot and possibly my TB test and my chicken pox titer. I have to get the physical too. I'm getting my CPR certification on Sunday and hopefully I'll have my card back ASAP.

Whoop whoop! It just seems like so much to get done...I'm definitely jealous of all the people who've had time to do this for longer than us.
