Valencia College/UCF Concurrent Spring 2022

Published

Hi VC/UCF Concurrent Spring 2022 applicants!

I'm currently finishing my last two pre-requisites (Micro + Nutrition) in Summer 2021. Then, I plan to apply for the Spring 2022 Concurrent Valencia/UCF ASN/BSN program.

Who else plans to apply for the Spring 2022 concurrent program?

@Stephen Heglundthank you. Is this the UCF portion? I see some courses that indicate 0 credit hours,  but the heading indicates 6 credit hours. Does the heading indicate how many credits you can take, and we select up to that amount?

Also, are you able to provide us the actual schedule as far as the time?

Hi Schamard,

See the parentheses after some of the classes? Those are the credit hours if they are not listed in the far right column. Since this form is a UCF generated plan, I do not account for VC hours in that section. But I do know the demand as listed in the (#) notation. Each student takes all the classes as listed during each semester. The heading credit hours are UCF classes only.

As for the timing of classes/clinicals for VC, no, I do not have that information. You would have to get that from VC and I am sure it is not finalized yet. Students are typically assigned into groups from which they establish the time/location schedules.

For the Fall admission cohort, all UCF classes will be online. I have not yet determined what will be done for the Spring admission cohort, but we will most likely return to at least one class in person at the VC West campus (Pathophysiology). But that is yet to be determined.

Hello Stephen,

Thank you for that information. No they haven't finalized the schedules as of yet. So what you're pretty much indicating, is the list of classes under each heading are all the classes that will be taken during that semester along with the VC portion.

@Schamard Caneus Congratulations! That's a huge feat -- and one you're excited about, I am sure. 

Are you comfortable with sharing your stats in regard to GPA and TEAS? I'm always interested, if so. If not, no pressure. I hope to be right behind you with acceptance to Spring 2022.

Congrats on taking the next step! I know it feels good to finally be done with pre-requisites. I too applied, and have listed my stats below:

Overall GPA: 3.81

Perhaps we'll sit next to each other in Spring 2022.

All the best!

Regarding FT/PT concurrent options:

If you decide on the FT track and finish ASN courses within your first 3 semesters, will you be able to graduate, take your NCLEX exam, and begin working before the other 3 semesters are completed?

That is exactly correct. In fact, that is true of all of the Concurrent options UCF offers which are the Full or Part time VC tracks, the Full time or Evening/Weekend tracks at Seminole, and any state college's ASN program through our Florida College System AS to BSN Concurrent option.

Any student in any ASN program in a state college system school can start taking BSN classes while still an ASN student. Once they complete the ASN, they can sit for NCLEX, pass it, and start working as a Registered Nurse before completing the BSN.

Our communities need BSN prepared nurses and UCF is doing everything possible to get students to that point as quickly as possible instead of having to do the ASN and then the BSN afterwards.

I hope we all get in! I'm so nervous! I applied for both the SSC/UCF concurrent and the VC/UCF concurrent. I would prefer the SSC program but would be happy to get into either one.

TEAS:89

My overall GPA at UCF is 3.3 but my SSC transcript says 3.5. I'm not exactly sure which one it is based off of. SSC takes grade forgiveness courses off, I believe, hence why I have 2 different GPA's LOL.

Science: 3.4

Non-science: 3.5

Goodluck to everyone applying!! Hopefully we'll all be sitting next to each other next Spring ?
