Fall 2015 University of Minnesota Master of Nursing Applicants

ham0702 · Apr 22, 2015

Hi all,

I received an email with the checklist and had been keeping an eye on this thread to see if anyone posted anything but no one had, if you didn't receive the email here's the checklist:

Accepted Student Checklist - School of Nursing - University of Minnesota

Looks like we will not be registering until the summer, and sounds like they almost have our sections picked out alreadyâ€¦? All are somewhere from 7A-4:30P Mon-Fri so at least until clinicals start it would leave evenings and weekends free.

I am already trying to get everything possible done on the list ASAP so that I don't run into any bumps!

Does anybody know what kinds of scholarships are offered? I'm working on the scholarship application. Just wondering what my chances are, and for what?

Did you mail yours in? Fax? I was planning to drop mine off.

BTW, I got in!

Mirounga, I'm sorry we're losing you to Emory but I also have to thank you. I think I may have gotten your spot!

Here is a list of all the graduate level scholarships that are offered for the School of Nursing, there's a link to the scholarship application on that site too.

Graduate Scholarships - School of Nursing - University of Minnesota

I believe the application is all online, I didn't fax or mail anything in, I just needed to enter my student ID number for the site to verify that I was a school of nursing student, and then I entered all my information.

Has anyone else submitted their immunizations/record, but are not seeing it updated in the portal? I mailed in the form on May 8 and emailed OHS this Monday and still haven't received a response. In the meantime, I've received auto generated emails about my immunizations not being updated. Is anyone else having any issues?

ham0702 · May 23, 2015

I don't remember when I mailed mine in, but I remember it took almost 2 weeks before it updated on my OHS portal.

It took a couple of weeks for mine to update as well, but it did eventually get put into the system and now I'm not getting reminder emails any longer (thank goodness).

Good to know, thank you!!

For people who have already gotten their immunizations cleared, do you need an actual doctor's signatures for all of them, or is a print out from the doctor's office okay? Also, what kind of documentation for your MMR did they accept? I have immunization record for this, but it's really old and from another state and parts are barely legible. If you have already been accepted to a MN college in the past (and thus had them checked previously), do they even need this, or are you already covered by your previous admission status?

I was there this AM in the U Health Center to get my annual TB.. and trying to sort my form out. I had all the requirements done at the last Hospital ED I worked in but for some reason not all of my records are transferring and I have to get three vaccinations on Friday because the documentation I had wasn't enough. I think you could probably take the form with the old records you have into your PCP and have them just check & copy it onto the form and sign it. I don't know if anything would be transferable from MN colleges in the past. Good luck!! :)

So far I have found out that doctor's office printouts that use the Epic system (most do) are fine without a signature, but immunizations from previous enrollments do not count, because non-Health students records can be accepted even if just self-reported. Still not sure about the MMR documentation because the immunization processor was unavailable when I stopped by today.

But, I took the opportunity on campus to get fitted for my first scrubs! :)
