My financial aid contact told me that loans aren't going to be dispersed until the 5th of January.

I think you have to apply for the parking pass online. I found the people at the transportation office to be very helpful when I called. The permits are kind of expensive (plan to spend a couple hundred bucks a year) and some are more expensive than others. Anyone who is taking the Metrorail to campus has to apply for your special discount monthly pass in person (50 bucks a month unlimited). You can take a shuttle from the Metrorail if you're commuting. I'll be riding my bike to campus though. If you register your bike with campus police, they give you a free U-lock! I actually cannot believe the textbook list prices. I paid maybe $120-200 a semester for books and supplies every semester in ugrad. Clearly, we should all write textbooks after we graduate.

Hey everyone! I've decided to withdraw my admissions offer from the nursing school. I've really loved my time at FAU but I think it's time for me to head somewhere new. I want to wish all of you the best of luck. I've really enjoyed participating in this thread. It really made the process a little less stressful. You guys are wonderful and I know you're going to be amazing nurses!

I'm not even looking at Blackboard until I'm done with finals. The stress and lack of sleep is really crazy right now. Be prepared to be frustrated, because we're not going to hear final decisions about scholarships until later in December (right around Christmas) and in early January for others. Hang in there everyone.

I got my financial aid sometime over the weekend through Canelink. It took them several weeks to get the package prepared since I last called.

I'll second this. I would definitely appreciate some advice.

Yes, we must be CPR certified before you start clinicals. UM only accepts the AHA BLS for Healthcare providers course. Try to find one that offers a student discount if you can.

Debblasko, you may have to wait a bit for scholarship. Since we are only offered preliminary admission, I don't believe we qualify for scholarships and financial aid through FAU yet.

I'm going to be at the noon CPR class. It's good to finally get that requirement out if the way.

YAAAAAY!

I'm in! Celebratory dance!

I'm in! So relieved!

Is it good news Debblasko?

Hi Debb, I only put in information through NursingCAS so as long as that information was sent, you're fine. UM changed their admission process and this is the first year they are using NursingCAS so there may have been some confusion.

I have a tiny heart attack everytime I hear the little notification on my phone that I have a new email. PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY!!!
