Valencia College Spring 2015

U.S.A. Florida

Published

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! :yes:

Thanks a bunch! I'm printing them out now. Yep, lots of signatures! LOL! wow! I better find my shot record. That is pricey!

almost 2 weeks away till orientation! yay! so excited!

well got my physical done yesterday since I had already had a doctors appointment, so that worked out great... I was a pin cushion for the most part. lol. Got all my shot records and just signed up for cpr/life support class for sat Nov 8th. its a long class from 9am-5pm! still have to cough up the money for the drug testing/finger printing and background check. maybe next month since its a huge chunk of money. Thanks for mothers that keep their 30 year old kids shot records! lol...

anyone else start doing their stuff? cant wait to meet everyone!

The only thing left I have to do is have my TB read and what ever my Titers say. I have my shot record, I just don't know where. The finger print guy said that I might have to redo mine, since a couple of my fingers just refused to have their picture captured. ha ha. Wow! Less then 2 weeks!

Everyone getting excited? It's this Friday. It looks like a 2 hr Orientation, then we are sent to the venders who will be set up for us. The only things left on my list is the FIT test (doesn't say how much it will cost), Uniform, polo shirt, nursing name pin. All will have to be done on Friday. The venders will be there until 2pm. I am waiting until next week to get my books, stethoscope, etc. I believe Spring 15 financial aid will be available for our use in the book store some time next week. That should leave the shoes, watches and calculators. LOL!

I can't believe it's finally here!

Hello I just got accepted last week into the program. I also have my orientation on November 4th. It would be nice to meet some people from the spring 2015 class.

Hello tvleon13

I am a little nervous since I just found on Oct. 31st that I will be starting in Spring 2015. I feel that I am being rushed, but I still confirmed my seat. I have a question; Where do you go to register for the CPR/life support class? I feel like I'm behind. I need to catch up. :(

Do we have a facebook group yet, for Valencia Nursing class of Fall 2016? we gotta stick together through this :)

Hi jacquisosa!

I just looked at Valencias site and noticed the class is full for Nov 8th. But they did add another class for Nov 22nd. I'm guessing since there are many of us trying to get it done by Dec 5th and they want us to use them rather than take class elsewhere...lol... Here's the link. Its $40 and they will mail you a book. So make sure your address is correct when you sign up. You ha e to review it and bring it with you to class.

Let me know if link doesn't work. Hope this helps! Glad to see new people on here...its getting so close and I can't wait! BTW I'm pretty sure the fit test says that's its free on our cost list. So I'm hoping that is correct. I will have the money with me to buy one polo shirt and my name tags and patch. I still have to take my drug test so waiting for the money for that but will be soon and that's all I have left to do.

Yay! Can't wait to meet some of you on Friday!!

Oh and I haven't seen a facebook page yet for our class. Let me know if anyone makes one or finds one. I'm always on there even though I'm not sure how much I will be on it when school starts! Eeek!lol

Hi alichona!

Awesome that you will be doing the concurrent program! I haven't seen a FB page. And I just looked and didn't see anything for our class shall I say. I'm not good at starting those things so if Antone is good at it or if you are maybe you can start one. And I think we will be graduating class of Summer 2016. Let me know if you find a FB page or if you make one. Def great to stay connected though this journey...we do have to stick together!!!

Hope to see you friday!!!

Oh you are right, regular valencia nursing will be done Summer 2015, and concurrent takes one more semester for the ASN, and one more semester after that for our BSN, so I won't be totally done until Spring 2017 haha.
