  1. Broward College May 2011

    Mel328 replied to couturediva's topic in Florida Nursing

    I got accepted, too! Still waiting on FAU... if I don't get in there, I'll see you guys in May

  2. Fl schools that accept online prereqs?

    Mel328 replied to jessimarie22's topic in Florida Nursing

    I believe all schools will require you to do your labs in person (anatomy 1 and 2, micro, chem). I took three of my pre-reqs online, though, and didn't have any issues with any schools I applied

  3. Univ of Miami Accelerated BSN 2011 Applicants

    Mel328 replied to PacoUSA's topic in Florida Nursing

    when I applied last year, I found out in March because the school I was taking pre-reqs at hadn't sent in a form. Don't sweat it too much. They won't send a decision until they have

  4. UM Accelerated BSN Program May 2011

    Mel328 replied to yunas_mommy's topic in Florida Nursing

    It was the same last year as well. They literally give you four weeks to get everything together so I would start getting my shots and everything up to date if you don't have them done already. I sent...

  5. UM Accelerated BSN Program May 2011

    Mel328 replied to yunas_mommy's topic in Florida Nursing

    see my previous response. They definitely won't let you know until the application period is closed so start checking about a week after

  6. UM Accelerated BSN Program May 2011

    Mel328 replied to yunas_mommy's topic in Florida Nursing

    FYI: I applied in December for the fall start date, received phone calls in early March because the dean at the school I was attending (FAU) had not faxed in a form yet. I logged in and saw my status...

  7. UM Accelerated BSN Program May 2011

    Mel328 replied to yunas_mommy's topic in Florida Nursing

    I was accepted to UM's accelerated program without having completed chem. Check your my UM page - I found out I was accepted because I had to log in for financial information (I'm a former employee)...

  8. Univ of Miami Accelerated BSN 2011 Applicants

    Mel328 replied to PacoUSA's topic in Florida Nursing

    I've spoken to a few people who started the program this semester that I met here. They all said it was very demanding and very intense but a good program. Didn't sound like there's any time for work...

  9. How much should Nursing School be?

    Mel328 replied to Yesenia01's topic in Florida Nursing

    That sounds right for a career college, but they tend to be a waste of money. You're much better off going to Broward College or Miami Dade College. If you're going to shell out 60k for a degree, at...

  10. University of Miami Accelerated BSN - Class of 2011

    Mel328 replied to ~Tinkerbell~'s topic in Florida Nursing

    I was accepted for May, but I deferred my enrollment to see if I got into a public program before spending $40k on tuition. I've spoken to a few of the students who started this semester, though,...

  11. University of South Florida Accelerated BSN

    Mel328 replied to *PaintedSky*'s topic in Florida Nursing

    I actually haven't sent in my essay yet... that's why I was shocked that I got an acceptance letter. I have no meddical experience except an internship at the morgue when I was 16. My background is...

  12. University of South Florida Accelerated BSN

    Mel328 replied to *PaintedSky*'s topic in Florida Nursing

    Are you sure that's how they decide? I had applied to start this year, but deferred because my grades for Anatomy 2 and Micro wouldn't post until after the deadline. I still had Chemistry to complete...

  13. Univ of Miami Accelerated BSN 2011 Applicants

    Mel328 replied to PacoUSA's topic in Florida Nursing

    I deferred my enrollment, so unless I get into FAU (or if I get a scholarship), I'll be at UM in

  14. USF tutition

    Mel328 posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    I've been accepted to USF and UM for next year and am trying to decide which one to go to. I realize that USF will have significantly lower tuition, but I wanted to know if anybody knew how much it...

  15. USF tutition

    Mel328 replied to Mel328's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks!!

  16. USF tutition

    Mel328 replied to Mel328's topic in Florida Nursing

    The USF amount is for one year as a full time student. So double it and add on another two thousand for clinical fees, over-credit amounts since I'll be in the accelerated program. Plus the fact that...

  17. USF tutition

    Mel328 replied to Mel328's topic in Florida Nursing

    Wow... so basically USF would cost me only 10k less (my living expenses in Miami are very low, since my boyfriend lives very close to the campus) plus I'd be done faster at UM and, therefore, be able...

  18. USF accelerated question

    Mel328 posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    I originally planned to apply to USF for this fall but had to defer my application until next year because I didn't finish chem until two days after the deadline to apply. I just got back from...

  19. Broward College August 2010

    Mel328 replied to NMG86's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks!! I definitely have over a 12... I don't know what I got in ENC way back when I took it close to ten years ago... but I'm good on my sciences, did very well on the HESI and am a Broward...

  20. Broward College August 2010

    Mel328 replied to NMG86's topic in Florida Nursing

    I was wondering if someone could tell me exactly how the point system works. I can't find any information about it on their site. I'm applying for the fall semester next week and I have a good GPA and...

  21. Broward College August 2010

    Mel328 replied to NMG86's topic in Florida Nursing

    I took the HESI at FAU and they gave us paper and there was a calculator built into the program. The test was simple, as long as you passed A&P. There were actually a LOT of mistakes written into...

  22. University of Miami Accelerated BSN Fall 2010 start

    Mel328 replied to Bubbles125's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have a 3.8 overall and a 4.0 in my science pre-reqs. I went to a private school as an undergrad and am doing my pre-reqs at a public school. I didn't get my acceptance letter until after it was too...

  23. University of Miami Accelerated BSN Fall 2010 start

    Mel328 replied to Bubbles125's topic in Florida Nursing

    Kendall is boring, suburban and full of bad traffic caused by bad drivers.. The Gables isn't very lively, but it's very safe. I personally just hate Brickell/downtown in general, but a lot of people...

  24. University of Miami Accelerated BSN Fall 2010 start

    Mel328 replied to Bubbles125's topic in Florida Nursing

    It says on the acceptance letter that the class has 650 people in it... but that seems impossible, considering the registration site for the fall caps the classes at 80. So somewhere between 80 and...

  25. University of Miami Accelerated BSN Fall 2010 start

    Mel328 replied to Bubbles125's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm starting UM in the fall. My GPA was 3.8 overall with a 4.0 in sciences. According to the acceptance letter, there was about a 20% acceptance rate for the fall semester this year. During the info...
