Valencia College 2019 Orlando

[OrlandoNursing]

Hello!

I have a question for any Valencia College students in Orlando, Florida. How many of you are currently waiting to be accepted into nursing school for 2019? I submitted my application in June 2018, got wait-listed before the Spring term started. I'm currently waiting to be accept for the Summer or Fall 2019 term. Please share the date you submitted your application, if you've been accepted or any news on the status of your application. Would love to share our experiences. THANKS!

@Batsy Do you know who can go to the March 22nd orientation?

Just the students who get accepted for summer.

So you're guessing, well have our acceptance letters before March 22nd? Thats exciting!

We’ll have our acceptance letters LONG before the 22nd. Looking back at past dates, the students got their acceptances letters exactly a month before oriention, so I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if we heard something in between this week and next week.

One thing to do while waiting is get your physical, shot records together and Basic Life Support class done. It will be a mad rush once those letters are sent out and then panic will set in.

That’s exactly why I’m setting everything up right now. I already have a doctors appointment set up and I paid for the Valencia nursing student CPR/BLS certification in CPR class for March 30 which was only $40.

Wanted to let something be known here guys. Not sure how many people have actually went through and read the orientation letter, but there's so much to know and start doing as soon as possible. So after we get our acceptance letters but PRIOR to orientation, they want us to order our background check, fingerprinting, drug testing, and document manager for our immunization records, which is a total of $188.00. They also allow you to pay that $188.00 in increments of 3 payments. There's a lot more information in the orientation letter than I can discuss here so it's better if you guys familiarize yourself with some of the details starting now. I would hate to see anyone left behind.

Here's the link to the orientation letter!

Yes, also in the orientation letter it stated that Centra care will be preforming immunizations after orientation for our shots. Which is great in case you're like me and without health insurance!

The cost of their immunizations might be a bit pricey, so I'd prepare accordingly. ? Don't forget to see if you can get shot records from old doctors! I'm trying to get a record of titers/immunizations from my job's employee clinic to save time and money.

Thank God my primary care doctors gave me all of my shots and titers already!

Hi guys. Is there a specific form that you have to carry to the doctor so they can record your immunization shots?
