UA MEPN 2020

Updated:   Published

Hi everyone,

I'm considering MEPN application to the UofA next year. I've been in touch with the advisor, Chris Sogge, for the past 3 years. I have a B.S. in Computer Science and a M.Sc. in Biology from Canada . Chris said that I need a pre-req GPA of 3.7 at least to get into the program; mine is 3.3. Do I stand any chances? Did anyone get in with lower pre-req grades? I'm trying to juggle pre-req taking with a toddler. Thanks so much for your advice!

Marina.

Help! I am still not able to complete the Bloodborne Pathogens course. I’ve literally tried all the browsers and still no luck! What am I doing wrong?

You are not doing anything wrong it's their software. After calling the UA IT three times, they manually enrolled me. They said most people are having trouble with it.

Hello! I am a current MEPN student and looking to sell scrubs and books if anyone is interested. I can deliver/ship to Tucson or ship to Tucson/Phoenix/pretty much anywhere. I have Medium and Large tops and bottoms and a large and an XL scrub jacket. Each for $5. Luckily, they already have the patches so you won't have to worry about getting that done (it was a big mess for our cohort last year). Please PM me if interested! I also have all of the FA Davis bundle books.

@Nursing hopeful87 I’d love the medium tops please! I’m in Tucson

PM sent!

Has anyone analyzed whether it'd be cheaper to either buy the FA Davis bundle or buy used books and piecemeal purchase the necessary online access codes? It's hard for me to tell how many access codes we'll have to purchase, but they seem to run anywhere from $90-180 a pop when purchased directly from FA Davis, and that seems like it could add up fast...on that note, does anyone know of a reliable way to get access codes from another source besides FA Davis?

Current students from the FB page have noted that we only need to get access codes for the Basic Nursing and Med Surg books, but then their other notes indicate additional books for which we need access codes.

I'm leaning toward purchasing used books but I'd hate to end up spending more money that way.

Has anyone been successful in ordering their books yet? I have tried to use the bookstore but the link to the books has not been mad available yet.
