1. University of Miami Accelerated BSN May2009

   lnzywilson replied to BH8844's topic in Florida

   Don't freak out too much about the laptop situation... You only need the laptop for testing purposes where you install "Lockdown" browser that prevents cut/copy/paste functions within blackboard when you take online exams. The HESI/Evolve program is ...

   She lied... for the 08-09 school year we had 80 and we are down to 64 in the last term... About half of those dropped before class actually started and the other half either failed or dropped out after first term...

   lnzywilson replied to BH8844's topic in Florida

   So last may, they bumped up the scholarship deadline without notifying people... so make sure everything is done and ready to go by the first day of orientation. Also have an interview outfit picked out- it will be a panel/group/individual interview.

4. University of Miami Accelerated BSN May2009

   lnzywilson replied to BH8844's topic in Florida

   Hey guys, I bought a mac after the first accelerated semester- they didn't come out with a HESI clause until second semester... and I just rent out a computer to take the HESI tests with. No big deal... they also have computer labs so you can take th...

5. Question on doing pre-reqs for nursing in OSU

   lnzywilson replied to cheeza4u's topic in Oregon

   The main thing to consider is how OHSU accepts students. I believe it's 70% GPA, and 30% essay and Letters of Rec. I didn't even apply to OHSU after being declined from Lane Community College's nursing program, and I was 1 term from graduating from O...

   lnzywilson replied to ice2015's topic in Florida

   They provided us with a HESI book free of charge. HESI is made by evolve/elsevier and most of the nursing books used are from the publisher evolve/elsevier/mosby because they provide the pre-made powerpoint lectures as well as the testbanks to accomp...

   The summer session runs the full 10 weeks. Classes are considered summer I and summer II. Final exams are considered the HESI ( i didn't have a HESI for pathophysiology or for research) and they are given during the final week schedule. My final in p...

   lnzywilson replied to ice2015's topic in Florida

   As of right now, I don't know yet. Supposedly they are having open labs this semester to try and help us prepare... Chad is the person who basically taught us pathophysiology because I had Diego Deleon, and he would skip over 15 slides because he "di...

   BH8844, Yes, I think 600$ a month is unreasonable for rent. Miami is expensive to live in, even in the ghetto. You have to evaluate how close to school you want to live, and how much time you want to spend in traffic. There are cheaper areas the furt...

    Ali, Having a family will be very difficult for you. Especially a three year old. I hope you have a strong family network, because trying to leave school at school will be impossible. You run at a high stress level at all times, and trying to cook a ...

11. Looking for ABSN program which is better? UM, Barry, MDC, FIU or NOVA?

    lnzywilson replied to Den1978's topic in Florida

    UM is very well respected. But as will ALL accelerated programs (I have a friend who just finished at Regis University), there is a problem with administration, coordination, etc. You can apply without finishing all of your pre-reqs, but you had bett...

    lnzywilson replied to ice2015's topic in Florida

    I would recommend doing a 3-4 month summer lease if you are unsure where you want to live. That way, by the time your lease is up, you will have made some really close friends and can decide if you want to move...etc. Then you can decide to stay on y...

    lnzywilson replied to alejandro175's topic in Florida

    If you are going to live in S. Florida, you will need a car. There is no way around it if you live in Miami-Dade County. Yes, there is the metro that runs by South Miami Hospital (part of Baptist Health), Doctors Hospital & University of Miami Ho...

    lnzywilson replied to lnzywilson's topic in Oregon

    I think I need to call them and get more information. When I looked at the "FY 2008 Awards by state" on that same main page http://bhpr.hrsa.gov/nursing/loanrepay.htm... Oregon was on the list of receiving funds so I assumed it would work. I hate rea...

    I am set to graduate May 2009 from an accelerated BSN program, and am moving back home (Eugene) and am hoping to find work at Riverbend, Peace Health. The postings that I saw on the website most have 1-year minimum experience, including the ICU inter...
