1. FIU ABSN 2019

   catek replied to Melrosewood's topic in School Programs

   Hi Andrea, So far, we have had a few ups and downs, but I definitely recommend the program. You will get out what you put into it. It is a FAST program, and if you do not like to be rushed or overloaded with work, it isn't the route to take. If you n...

   It's not over yet! There are other people trying to make the decision between one school and another. I wouldn't give up hope! Fingers crossed for you!

3. FIU ABSN 2019

   catek replied to Melrosewood's topic in School Programs

   I think I've made my decision to go to FIU. Trying to figure out the best way to let UM know. I PMed you with my e-mail address if you want to communicate directly. I'd love to get to know everyone before we start, maybe through a Facebook group. Hav...

4. FIU ABSN 2019

   catek replied to Melrosewood's topic in School Programs

   Hey! Just got a letter of acceptance from FIU. Have you thought anymore on your decision? I am struggling between the two as well. Everyone is saying the 40k isn't worth it, but that simulation hospital seemed like a great learning environment. Very ...

   catek replied to Melrosewood's topic in School Programs

   I received an e-mail yesterday - interviews are on October 8th. Very excited/nervous and can't wait to meet you all! I did think the email subject line was a bit misleading, and I thought I didn't get in when I read the first few lines.

   catek replied to sierra_foxtrot's topic in School Programs

   I was accepted into the spring 2019 ABSN program and would love some information on it as well. I have a weekend job that allows me to study, I just have to sit at a desk. Will I be able to keep it, or are there clinicals on the weekends? Any informa...

   catek replied to lilit829's topic in School Programs

   I took mine online through FIU - signed up as a non-degree and it was a good course. Just be prepared for a lot of reading :)

8. UM ABSN SPRING 2019

   catek replied to lilit829's topic in School Programs

   I was accepted too! I called yesterday regarding the deposit to be sent and they said the acceptance letters we received were from the university, and SONHS will be sending letters out today. I got a vague answer about the check - did anyone send any...

9. UM ABSN SPRING 2019

   catek replied to lilit829's topic in School Programs

   I applied to both. FIU is a lot cheaper. I am really hoping I get into either one - they are the only two places I applied. If I get into both, I have no idea what I will do. We wont find out about the interview for FIU until September, from what I'v...

    Now that the applications are submitted, does anyone know if we should expect to receive confirmations or anything from FIU anytime soon? I'm nervous now that the deadline has passed.

13. UM ABSN SPRING 2019

    catek replied to lilit829's topic in School Programs

    I finally submitted my application Wednesday, I have been holding off because I am nervous about the required deposit. I've done a lot of research on financing for a second degree, but has anyone settled on what they believe is the best loan option y...

    catek replied to lilit829's topic in School Programs

    Did you submit the TEAS? I know FIU required it, I am applying there as well. I wasn't sure about submitting it to UM since it isn't required.

    I think the UM Accelerated Option Deadline is August 1, at least that's what nursing CAS says. You can still apply!
