Valencia Spring 2021

[CristianeFilgueiras]

Hi, everyone! I just applied for Spring 2021 at Valencia (Yeah! I'm late, but covid got me stuck with TEAS requirement). I want to make a thread for those who will apply or already applied and try to get updates. Let's keep us updated and help each other!

@Marie0617 so your classes are evening zoom 530-830? T and W. I applied for evening cohort. Just wondering if I can still work

Nice! What about working? Do you think it’s possible to work 4 days per week?

I would say it depends... is it a necessity? And how are your hours? I work 5 days/week 5 hours each day from home (Part time). My job and my boss are very flexible so for now its working perfectly.

Studying will take ALL your time and im not exagerating. You will be reading and studying almost if not everyday!

I know of some in my class that had to quit their jobs to do better in exams. Like I said it depends and in my opinion it will be harder.

I heard nursing 1 is hard even though you study every day. What your advice for us to be prepared? What can we study in advance? It’s amazing to hear from a nursing student. Thank you for take your time to tell us.

Yes, it is! It is hard but not impossible. I can recommend studying Dosage Calculations!! Super important and even when you start this is something we teach ourselves. Self-taught. I would also recommend reviewing anatomy at least an overview of each body system. And review your medical terms/abbreviations. If you struggle with time management please find ways to help you because this is KEY!! 

You're welcome! I was in one of these groups when I first applied so I know how anxious you all are feeling.

Girls, tomorrow will hopefully be the start of our new chapters in life! Fingers crossed ?

[Cassidy, BSN, RN]

Last year they heard on Monday! Fingers crossed we might hear today! ?

I really hope that we start finding out today! Good luck to everyone!

The orientation and compliance page is not updated for Spring 2021 as yet. I am using that page update to be a sign as to when acceptance letter is about to be sent out. I'm not getting my hopes up for this semester though given when I applied.

Good luck to all of you!!

Question: Did anyone get a letter after the May 15th deadline? Because, I got one after Feb 15th but nothing after that.

They didn’t send out letters after May deadline because they had to push Summer cohort to this fall. We should hear from them this week or next the latest.
