Nursing applicants
What will be your responsibility to others as a Jesuit-educated, BSN professional registered nurse?
Editor's notes
- Decide early what kind of early you want. USF has binding ED I and ED II and a nonbinding EA, and ED I and EA share the Nov. 1 deadline, so the real choice in October is whether you're ready to commit.
- Your activities list does real work here. USF asks you to show how you'd contribute to its Jesuit mission of being people for others, and it says family duties and jobs count. With letters optional and only nursing applicants writing a supplement, list those responsibilities plainly.
