Valencia/UCF Concurrent Spring 2019

Published

Hey guys,

I'm starting a thread for anyone planning on applying to the Valencia/UCF concurrent nursing program for spring 2019. The applications open online in 10 days (but who's counting?!)

I've also applied for the Valencia traditional program, but plan on doing the concurrent program if I am accepted. I'm thrilled to finally be done with prereqs and the TEAS, but now begins the agonizing waiting period. How about you all?

Congratulations to you guys!!! All of your hard work and time you spent waiting wasn't for naught.

Hey Shaybears,

Have you been able to sign up for a UCF orientation slot yet? Everything is set up for the Valencia Nursing orientation, and the UCF nursing orientation (both on the same day) but we have to do a UCF general orientation as well (I've been receiving emails almost every day) and have been told its an online orientation and that they haven't opened it yet.. I'm curious if you're waiting on this too or not.

Hey Scobyroo!

I signed up for the general transfer orientation that contains both an in-person and online component sometime last week. Did I sign up for the wrong orientation by chance?

I'm not sure. I've been on that site, and when I signed up and put the concurrent program as my major, it tells me there are no sessions available. I called the student orientation office and they told me they haven't released the online orientation session for the major yet; and that it will be Nov 2nd online.

I don't know that you scheduled the wrong one, since it let you schedule it. The website won't let me.. I was told to look out for an email or to watch for the slot to open up on the registration website.

I may have done something wrong.. not sure.

I emailed UCF Nursing after I replied to you to verify which orientation we should sign up for. Once they email me back, I'll let you know what they tell me. I'm hoping I didn't sign up for the wrong one, but if I did, maybe there's a way to fix it?

By the way, have you signed up for Castlebranch yet?

Yeah, everything has been approved for me now except for the fit test (which is at orientation anyway) and the CPR certification, which I should be getting next week.

Definitely keep your orientation reservation until we figure it out. The main reason why I guess I'm hoping for online orientation is because its so much cheaper than the in-person orientation.. it seems silly to spend all that money to have an orientation at UCF's campus when we'll never step foot there again. I hope they get back to you with a clear answer soon.

I didn't reach out to the nursing Dept, only the orientation people. We'll see what nursing says.

I just got an email from UCF orientation saying the session has opened up. It's the Nov 9th session we already knew about.. so we only have to sign up for that one, and not a separate online or UCF campus orientation. They charge us $35 for it though.

UCF Nursing didn't get back to me yet. I received that email last night and I was able to get it switched without having to double pay yay!

Awesome! Yeah, after I registered and paid for the orientation they sent another email pointing out that this session counts as both the UCF nursing orientation and the UCF general orientation.. That answers all the questions we had haha, which we knew that from the beginning. All good now though!

It did also mention that we have to do a short online thing too before orientation.

I'm not really sure what the schedule will look like, since we haven't had orientation yet. It is the Valencia West daytime nursing schedule with the addition of whatever UCF course we have that semester. Sorry I can't be more helpful as of yet.

As far as my scores and such, I had a 4.0 for my nursing prerequisites, and I think about a 3.6 general GPA. My TEAS score was 96.

Thank you for your answer. I should retake my TEAS since the last time I took it I was not ready and got 76 :( I am not good at testing. Your TEAS score is awesome. Do you have any suggestions for me to improve my score?
