   Any waitlisters receive news on the waitlist yet? I'm guessing no but thought I'd check in.

2. Applying to BSN

   mcluvin replied to EGD530's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yes, some do place you in a cohort you best fit based on completed and transferable coursework. A couple of schools in my area do this for students with 4 year degrees (but you have to make a special request and it's only if space is available). I am...

3. UMFK ABSN acceptance!!

   mcluvin replied to cryoung's topic in Maine

   Hi Ryan, I wondered if you could tell me how flexible classes are at Fort Kent for ABSN (online classes). I was recently accepted to ABSN but I live in the Southern part of the state (I have a family and can't move them). Is there any distance learni...

   I accepted the slot as well. USM is my only option as I can't relocate and UNE ABSN is ridiculously expensive. Here's hoping!

   Congrats! Great news! That's three on the waitlist so far. Did they offer to consider you for a spot in the traditional/transfer program starting in fall as well?

   Hi gcano93, Did you ever get off the waitlist? I was waitlisted for 2020 and unsure of what to expect. I'd appreciate hearing about your experience on the waitlist for the ABSN. Thanks!

   Got my letter and waitlisted, so I feel a bit better. Hopefully a spot opens up. With 50 slots I am sure someone may pursue other options and let me squeeze in. Any other waitlisters on here?

   maybb, how did you find out you were waitlisted? Did you get your letter in the mail already?

   mcluvin replied to mcluvin's topic in School Programs

   Well, I'm definitely sunk (again)...no green check mark and it seems accepted people have them. This was my final try to get into USMs nursing program. Congrats to everyone accepted. I hope you all appreciate how lucky you are and do very well in the...

    Congrats. I checked earlier today, but still a green circle. I am pretty positive I may not get accepted. But like I said before, I'll just have to roll with it.

    It seems far away but today is November 1st and the weeks are going to fly by...we'll know the decisions before we know it! Very exciting! If I don't get in though that will be okay as well; as we all know, ABSN programs have become very competitive...

    Hi. I was unable to find a discussion thread for applicants for USM's ABSN class of 2020. Anyone else out there patiently waiting to hear back from USM?

14. Good Economy / Opportunity for Nurses

    mcluvin replied to Shelwanderer's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Maine. Maine RNs make below the national average for nurses and yes the cost of living is high, mainly due to taxes and inflated rents (in the Portland area). Nearly all professional jobs in Maine are underpaid relevant to cost of living. T...

15. CNA as a student - should I?

    mcluvin replied to sym92's topic in General Students

    Do it. In Maine, we take a 3 month course and I have been working as a CNA on an oncology floor for over a year now and I have learned A TON from nurses and other CNA's about basic nursing care that was not covered in an entire 3 month CNA course. I ...
