Thank you! Good luck in FIU. I took all the classes i need for FIU and did not even apply. They really discourage you there. When do u find out if u got in?

Hey Carygt3,

Well I didn't apply to FIU because their program is four years which is too long;however, I applied to MDC and I still have to take the entrance exam before September 1st just the reading portion. We'll see what happens.

Thanks :). But yeah, they can be discouraging..I was told that about 160 students were applying, while there are only 50 seats to fill. I believe I will find out end of may to around june.

Oh well yes, if you don't have an AA or the pre-reqs done, then it is technically 4 years in total. Which exam do you have to take? CPT, TABE, TEAS?

So its less than four years if I have all the Pre-Reqs done?? I have my Bachelors in Biology from Barry University, I have all the pre-reqs out of the way. I have to take the cpt reading portion for Miami Dade College.

Since you have a previous degree, ithink you comply with all the pre-reqs taht FIU requires,except maybe the intercultural communications and intro to nursing classes.

Look i found this in the FAQ:

I am an applicant who has a previous baccalaureate degree (not in nursing). Am I required to meet the FIU’s core curriculum, Gordon rule, and CLAST (the general education requirements)?

No.

Take a look at the site:

http://cnhs.fiu.edu/nursing/undergraduate_basic_admission.html

So technically..you will be applying straight to the nursing school part of the degree which is 2 years.

I suggest you make an advising appointment with Ramiro Lopez (he's our nursing advisor) in the Nursing Dept. Here is the number/location:

HLS 2 Room 485 University Park Campus

(305) 348-7703

Hello:

I read that you applied for Um fall2009. So did I. I am actually accepted into the program, hope that you are too!!! Well, hope we can make friends since we are probably gonna be in the asme class.

By the way have you get the packet from the Shcoll of nursing yet????!!!!

GatorCane · Jun 7, 2009

hey there's a group on facebook for everyone that got accepted....you should join, it's called "[color=#3b5998]university of miami nursing (accelerated bsn fall 2009 cohort)". congratulations!

Thanks GatorCane, but if you are entering the accelerated program then you started in the summer right?? I thought UM's fall program is only regular (meaning 4 semesters instead of 3, as the accelerated) Anyhow Thanks a lot for your feedback!!!!!!!!
