Valencia Nursing Program 2016

Published

Hey everyone,

I recently submitted my Nursing, Traditional application on May 11th! I have met all the requirements for the program for the past 2 years! However, I decided to hold off until my daughter started kindergarten. (I also have a two year old EEK!) I am so excited to hear back already!

For previous applicants/students: How long did you wait to hear back from them? How is the program overall? Is there any advice you'd like to give? Anyone remember or know what the first semester's schedule is like? Also, since I have completed my A.A, financial aid is saying that I have too many hours and need to submit an appeal form. Anyone else have to do this? Or, is there any scholarships that I can look into? Any advice would be a great deal of help!

Ahh, I'm so excited and nervous!!

Hey! I'm in my second semester at Valencia. The program is HARD and overall it's alright. I did the concurrent program application so it took about 8 weeks to hear back from them. My first semester schedule I had class MTWTH 9am-12pm then T/Th lab from 12pm-4pm. I did fill out the appeal form and I received financial aid. The process is super easy and you'll get approved as long as they see you are actually motivated towards your Nursing degree.

Hi Rosa- good luck to you as well! Did you have to reapply for the Fall since you didn't attend in the summer? Do you recall how long it took to hear back on a decision?

It took about 5 weeks... they call me and I explained to them that I wanted to start on the fall and they say that they would be contacting me during the summer closer to the fall since they were trying to fill up all the spaces for the summer term first....

Yay! I am happy you all found my thread! I have been researching like crazy to find out more info about anything I possibly can lol I am so excited and nervous too! Hopefully we all hear back something soon! I attended an information session a few days ago, and the advisor said that if you submit your application on or before May 15th, that you are most likely to be admitted for the Fall term. Which spiked up the anxiety level! But I am sooo excited to start already!

Kdomi005, I really appreciate the info! If I'm not mistaken, you fill out the appeal form once you have been accepted to the program, correct? I wish you the very best of luck! And look forward to hearing about anything else you can help us with! :)

Hi Julio! Good luck to you as well and everyone else! I'm still waiting! I heard from another member that they contacted Valencia and that if we don't hear anything back by the 20th to give them a call. Hopefully we hear something back by next week! I'm so excited and hope to meet you all!

Abbareto,

That correct, that is what the answer center told me, that it's once you're accepted you can completed the FA appeal form. The deadline per the website is Aug 12.
