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!

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...

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 ...

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.

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...

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 :)

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...

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.

It does, I couldn't find the admissions section, finally found it! Now I feel better that I at least have a section. I hope I'll be in the next round!

I submitted 6/27, was verified 7/3, but haven't seen anything for "admissions" show on my Canelink yet.

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...

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!

Congratulations! I was considering applying to UM as well, but the price point is really scaring me away. I have looked into scholarships, but do not think I am qualified for the big ones. Were you able to get assistance or scholarships? Thank you fo...

Thank you very much for your input, Gram Stain (ps I LOVE your name!). This is great advice, and just the information I was looking for. It is hard to find much information about the program itself beyond the admission requirements. I am so happy to ...

Hi LaAura! I am getting my application together for the FIU AO '19 cohort, and was wondering if you ended up going. I am trying to get my financials in order, and am curious if it looks like a weekend job is possible while in the program. I took the ...

Congratulations to everyone who got in! I am finishing up pre-requisite requirements, and getting my application ready. Just trying to figure out the financials of going back to school full time. Have you guys gotten a read on if work on the weekends...

I'm trying to apply for the 2019 session, and went to one of the information sessions. They did say they let in 30 and were expecting 150 for this year, which really scared me! That is super selective. I was trying to find another AO program to look ...
