Yes, I did go there. No, I do not know of anyone who received a scholarship like the one you speak about. 50 K for 2 years that would be a heck of a scholarship. The Dean has changed since I attended UM and the program is longer. They have lost some vital staff but I am still very pround.

Hi, I sent you a Facebook Invite. Did you get it?

hey christina. Thanks so much for your help! I was able to get the backround check and i'm getting drug tested/fingerprinted next week. Also, apparently the cpr has to be through american heart association...so i have that scheduled too. I just think it is so weird that no one has sent any info to us to do these things and they are due at the school by April 15. I also sent in my scholarship application...so I will play the waiting game now. Can't wait to meet you all sooN!

Will do...thanks!!! =)

sorry for my late reply - but I haven't received no notice from your message!!!I really don't know if the American nursing school is recognized in Italy. How is the structure of an American nursing school? Do you go to university? Here you need the "maturità" (general examination for university entrance) and then you study for 3 years "science in nursing". Obviously you have to know Italian!Good luck!

Hey there...yes the ABSN program was normally only offered in May of each year, but because of the numbers of applicants UM decided in 2008 to offer ABSN program commencing fall. I start in August im super excited! I received my acceptance packet 2 weeks ago & now im trying to find scholarship money! Lets keep intouch & good luck to you!

Hey! Thanks so much for your help. I called again (for the billionth time) on friday and finally got some answers. It is totally disorganized. Oh well, i hope things are better when we are in the program. I'm getting really excited to be down there. Do you live close to campus?

Hi Swim... thanks for the friend request! I'll actually be down there that weekend finalizing my housing situation, so hopefully I can make the little get-together

P.S... Is there a way I can private message you? If not, can you please send me your email? Thanks!

hey Christina. I found a studio apartment about a mile from campus. I'm very excited about it, but I will not actually see it in person until I move down there. Have you recieved anything in the mail about drug/background check? I recieved immunization forms for the school but it looks like there are specific forms on the school of nursing. Also, do we have to complete the CPR before the program or are they offering it? I have been trying to call the school about these questions but no one ever calls or e-mail me back. I'm getting worried this is a reflection of the program. Help

I have gone to "contact info" but I do not see the place where you can send a non-discoverable email/IM to friends here
