Valencia College Spring 2015

[boragirl02]

I just found out that I have been accepted into Valencia's Spring 2015 Nursing program!!! I heard from someone that it is possible to start a semester or two before your scheduled start date.....is that true? Also, can someone please tell me how much the uniforms (shirts) and other expenses are prior to the start of the program? I know you have to wear khaki pants...what about the sneakers? Is it all white or can it have some color added to it? What is the usual schedule for Nursing 1 and 2? Thank for any response you can provide! I can't wait to start!

Hello,

I have a few questions for the students who started the program this year. What was your weekly schedule the first semester? How many times a week did you have class and clinicals? Also, are any of you guys able to work part time? Is the program doable?

Thank you!

Hi Kdomi005,

I recently attended a nursing open house where current Nursing 1 students shared that classes for their first semester are:

Lectures on M/W from 9a-1230p

Lab on T/TH from 9a-4p

Then there is an additional 4 hours required for lab practice. Can't recall at the moment the precise term used for these hours. These hours are completed on your own time.

Some of the students that were present shared that they worked part time - anywhere from 16-25 hours per week.

Hope this helps!

Hi all!!! I have a Master's Degree in Education but really want to switch careers. Education is taking its toll. I just want to teach kiddos but it's not about that anymore....anyhow, I want to apply to Valencia's R.N. program but have been reading scary stuff about the waitlist. Does it really take a crazy long time?? Thank you!!

There is currenly no waitlist at Valencia so most students who apply usually start within a semester or two after applying. I am about to graduate from the program and I just want to warn anyone who wants to study Nursing at Valencia...... its easy to get in but really tough to stay! They "weed out" students in the first and second semesters. Im sure this not only happens at Valencia though! Best of luck to you!
