  1. I just got my first camp job (YAY!) and immediately started working on the license endorsement since I have just 26 business days before I have to start. I am super nervous, looking at all the different 3-9 business day steps!! Am I crazy to think th...
  2. Update for anyone else in this situation: Original submission of docs for licensure was May 31. I received my full license (not just temp practice permit) on June 6. What?!? On June 1 I got an automated email from them stating that I hadn't listed...
  3. Worried about license endorsement being too slow

    Update: I logged in tonight and I have a license! Not just a temporary one, a real one!! Yowza, FAST!!
  4. Worried about license endorsement being too slow

    Update: FBI fingerprints were received by FBI last Thursday, and I got the results by email on Wednesday, so less than a week. Application now submitted and awaiting review... fingers crossed!
  5. Update for anyone else worried about this: I just spoke to the BON and they said that for applicants from Ohio, California and Arizona (the states that aren't able to send their CHRC) you only have to do the federal FBI check, even if you have lived...
  6. @heather789 did you figure this all out? I'm just starting the process and have only 26 business days to get the TPP... the background checks from 2 states plus FBI are giving me a minor heart attack. One slowdown is going to make this not work! Wha...
  7. ABSN UMASS Amherst 2016-2017 cycle

    You won't know by orientation, but during N100 (the 2-week class in August) they will have someone from Elsevier come in and talk about the package. You'll have your course list for the fall before then-- I had already bought most of my books by then...
  8. ABSN UMASS Amherst 2016-2017 cycle

    I've loved my clinical rotations. You are with a group of usually 7 others from the program, on a particular floor of a hospital. The group of 8 has one clinical instructor, and you'll get assigned to a particular patient for each clinical week so yo...
  9. ABSN UMASS Amherst 2016-2017 cycle

    I just saw this-- sorry! We are in class 2-3 days each week and have 1-2 clinicals each week. Fall semester it was 3 days of class, 1 clinical. Spring was 2 days of class and 2 clinicals. Typically classes are Monday and Tuesday, sometimes Wed.

    @mickey_123 I'm enjoying the program! It goes really fast. You don't get to choose where you do your clinicals-- it will be assigned each semester and could be as far away as Worcester. Sometimes they let you switch with other students, sometimes not...

    hi all, I'm a current ABSN student at UMass if you have any specific questions. Congrats to everyone who got in!
  12. Med Couture... shrinkage?

    I'm getting my first scrubs in preparation for starting nursing school in the fall. I tried on every brand and style of bottoms at my local scrubs store, and really liked Med Couture. The problem is it fits perfectly right now-- fitted in the hips an...

    I'm sorry, Lily... waiting is so hard! Hopefully you'll hear sooner rather than later!
  14. ABSN UMass Amherst 2015

    I got an acceptance letter today!! Yay!
  15. ABSN UMass Amherst 2015

    I heard back from Cynthia today after leaving her a message last week... my letter went out last week so it should arrive today or tomorrow. So those of you who haven't heard, they are still being sent out!
  16. ABSN UMass Amherst 2015

    Those who have heard... were you all given until Mar 9 to respond?
  17. ABSN UMass Amherst 2015

    I don't know, whitamills, I interviewed on Feb. 19 and still haven't heard! I just emailed the woman who interviewed me, so maybe she can tell me something. She told me I'd hear in early March.
  18. ABSN UMass Amherst 2015

    [sorry]
  19. ABSN UMass Amherst 2015

    I called today to find out when I should expect to hear... left a message. I'll let you know if I hear anything. Glad there are several others waiting, too... I was starting to feel like the only one!
  20. ABSN UMass Amherst 2015

    I still haven't heard either, and I was told in my interview that I was a very strong candidate. I don't like that they're staggering the letters... I know several people who have done the program (I live locally) and one of the criticisms I've hear...
  21. ABSN UMass Amherst 2015

    I think you'd have to ask admissions about that. I would guess they would take the highest grade, or the most recent.
  22. ABSN UMass Amherst 2015

    good luck allylyn!
  23. ABSN UMass Amherst 2015

    I'm trying to be patient, since I know they haven't made all their decisions yet, but it's SO hard to wait!! Is today the last day for interviews or do they go all week?
  24. ABSN UMass Amherst 2015

    smc is UMass not your first choice? Where else did you apply?
  25. ABSN UMass Amherst 2015

    congrats, Jewels! I think you interviewed the 18th, if I remember right? I did the 19th, so maybe I'll hear tomorrow...
