CNL Applicants - Spring 2016

[anthroinscrubs]

Hi, nurse-hopefuls! I've been following along on all of the threads from the previous semesters and thought it might be nice to start fresh for the new round. Applications are due in about a month and a half and I was wondering how people were feeling?

My baccalaureate GPA is a 2.9, but my pre-requisite GPA is a 3.73. I also know I have a really strong personal statement. I'm hoping that will make up for my undergrad gpa.

Is anyone else getting nervous? The last thing I'm waiting on are my letter of recommendations so I'm hoping those come in soon...

Wishing you all luck!

Hey, kmun911, what happens at orientation? I'm going to be out of town that day, so I'm going to miss it. Am I missing anything really important?

[kmun911]

Orientation or SSIP?

Orientation..I would say your not missing anything critical. Its more about the policy and procedures of the school. Myself and my classmates had more questions after orientation. To be honest with you, I got the majority of my information from previous students and allnurses.

SSIP..Helps you brush up on A&P and medication calculation dosages. Its a great opportunity to meet classmates, go over expectations for studying, register for class. I feel like I got more out of SSIP.

Hope this helps!

It does help, thanks! I meant orientation, not SSIP.

Hi future CNL's:

Just wanted to let you know I will be selling all of my first semester books. In awesome shape, no marks or writings. Let me know if your interested. I want to say all books for 1st semester cost about $1000 on Amazon.

I hope everyone is getting geared up!

hey, i am interested. Does this mean you are selling them for $1000 as well?

I rented/bought all the books on chegg.com for less than $300. I got them about a month ago because I wanted to be prepared for spring haha

I bought all new, hard back, owned not rented, I bargained shopped and Amazon was the best price.

I would like to keep them since I know they would be a great reference, but I have to be able to afford next semesters books.

There is also a facebook group for books. UMB SON Book Exchange

Hi Everyone,

I have been searching for the link to the Spring 2016 CNL group and I am glad I found you.

I also got accepted and have met with someone from Financial Aid this week.

His name is Richard Legendre and he was very helpful.

Have any of you attended the SSIP already?
