Was looking around and couldn't find a thread for this.

Has anyone else applied to this program & which campus did you pick for first choice?

Would love to hear back from fellow applicants :)

Not if you have other coverage. They just want you to have coverage, either through them or on your own. If you have your own

you have to provide proof (insurance card, etc.)

hey all. does anyone know when we have our financial aid meetings? i already sent in my deposit and I'm guessing we get a call after that with our packets. I'm going with the wells fargo medcap loan to supplement the tuition. how bout you all?

@rosiebee15,

This is how it worked for Sacramento. After paying my deposit they sent an orientation packet, but it did not contain financial aid information. However, I was only accepted last Monday, so someone who was accepted earlier may have more insight. From my understanding, at orientation the financial aid people will be there to answer questions. Also, because I am eager to get started and loans are necessary for me, I checked the SMURF and it shows information about your financial aid. Hope this helps...a little :)

I was looking at the Wells Fargo and Citi bank health professions loans. Not sure who I am going with yet.

Hi rosiebee15... I know my financial aid person is setting meetings for Monday in San Mateo. You should try to schedule yours as well.Also, did you just get accepted to the SMU ABSN Spring 2013 in San Mateo? If so, you should join our FB Page. A lot of these questions can be answered there.

I started a new topic for this but thought I would post it here as well...

Hi all! I just graduated from the ABSN program last week. I've received some emails through allnurses about the ABSN program. I compiled many of my responses into a google doc. Check it out if you're interested in the program and let me know are other topics you'd like me to add/questions you'd like answered.

Best of luck to you!

Great info trexc42! Congratulations on graduating! I'm hesitant to ask, but is it possible to get a weekend off during the program for special events, such as wedding? Thanks!
