University of Miami Accelerated BSN May2009

ice2015 · Jan 3, 2010

the one year accelerated program is extremely challenging. I know that i can speak for all of us in the may 2009 class and tell you that you have to be completely committed to do the one year program. It is alot of work. The material is not hard, it is just alot of info at one time that you need to absorb.

Is there just one referene form to get filled out? Is it the same for both the 2 year program and the 1 year?

Hey everyone! I was just wondering if anyone knows the NCLEX passing rate for this program? It's amazingly difficult to find. I went to the Florida state website, but their information is so darn confusing!

Hey guys,

I am applying to the Accelerated program for Fall 2010. I have two questions:

1. What was your GPA from your first Bachelor?

2. Your GPA for pre requisites?

I have a 3.1 from my previous Bachelor, and a 4.0 so far on pre-requisites (chemistry, nutrition, statistics, Developmental psych, intro psych) I am currently taking the rest of my pre-requisites.

What are my chances? :confused:

:yeah:Never mind! I GOT ACCEPTED!!! :smokin: I think that all this GPA thing is just a hyped thing. I got in with a 3.1 gpa from previous bachelor.

If you were a slacker during your first Bachelor's, and then did very well in your post-bac prerequisites I think that is more important to them. I had a 3.0 in my Bachelor's and did my pre-reqs as post-bac and had 3.95 with them.

If all goes to plan (knocking on wood) I'll be graduating in May.

Hi swimicatz, I have been searching all the threads for any information concerning the fbi fingerprinting clearance as I am currently being told that my clearance is still missing. I plan to start in the Fall/August 2010--the American Databank agency confirmed they were received and sent to the FBI July 2nd. I read one of your post concerning this and wanted to know if you ran into any delays or troubles with this? Thank you so much for any information or advise you can give!! The school is not being very helpful....

So much has happened since then I don't exactly remember all I can tell you is I had to have my fingerprints done twice because the police officer in training didn't do them properly and they were unreadable... sorry I can't be of any more help. Good luck!

Hi Hoya2009. I'm in the exact same boat. The FBI didn't receive my fingerprints until July 2nd and I haven't been cleared either. I just got back from the school of nursing and spoke to the associate dean and said to not give up hope. She said they've never dropped anyone from the program for that reason, but another guy said that they would let students know whether or not they will be dropped during orientation. Looks like it's a waiting game until then...

I too had my info received by the FBI on July 2. American Data Bank now says it takes 8-12 weeks. I'm getting worried. Anyone have any other feedback on theirs?
