UCONN CEIN 2019

I applied for the August deadline, does anyone know when the emails will be sent out with acceptances/rejections? Or approximately when?

Hello everyone! I was accepted for the August deadline. I am looking for the health forms we need completed to enter the program. For the other deadlines, did Heather send them to you after you got your ID? I still need to receive my ID number. I found these forms on the website https://nursing.uconn.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/939/2014/12/Clinical-Rotation-Health-Review-NURS.pdf but I wasnt sure if that was only for the graduate school nurses.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hello Everyone,

Congratulations to all of you for getting accepted. I was also blessed to be accepted in program in the Stamford campus. As of now, I am in the process of getting my health requirements done. Although, I am uncertain where I have to upload that information once I am done. I am using the pdf file that ------------------- sent me (https://nursing.uconn.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/939/2014/12/Clinical-Rotation-Health-Review-NURS.pdf. ) so I guess that is the document the student is supposed to submit; but as mentioned, I am not sure exactly where. If anyone has done this already (or is in the process of) can you please shed some light on it. I cannot miss a deadline as my acceptance was only provisional since I am taking two of the pre-requisite classes now. So missing a deadline can jeopardize my acceptance status. Anyways, if anyone else is going to the Stamford campus, I will meet you there. Also, since I read all your threat, I discovered the UConn Cein 2019 group--can you add me lol. Thank you and have a good weekend!

Hi I’m trying to apply to the 2021 cohort, I graduate in December 2020 and will have all my prereqs done spring 2019 including medical terminology. Taking Pathophysiology in the summer just so I can get a head start. Does anyone know someone who has been accepted with a December graduate? Also what classes do they tell you to study for during the October to January period? Really don’t wanna wait a year

Hi Priscilla, Yes! I know of one for sure currently in our class and 2 others that i believe either graduated in December or May 2018. So its certainly been done before! They actually assign a ton of reading for the first classes in January which are fundamentals of nursing and pharmacology, but it is certainly doable. What takes the most time between October and January is getting clinically compliant (paperwork for immunizations and all that stuff). Best of luck! My email is [email protected] if you have any further questions.

Ohh great! That just took off a whole lot of stress. I emailed Nancy but she didn’t reply. Thank you!

Nancy or many other instructors likely won’t get back to you tbh. They comb through a lot and during admission time, they tend to go zero dark thirty mode. To answer your question, yes a few people definitely had outstanding classes and still got in. It’s really all about your overall strength of application. GPA matters but what matters more is them seeing that you can accept the pace of the program and understand the content. So experience matters, so does your essay. I remember being in your shoes last year, I’ll try to help answer any questions I can

Yea tbh...I’m finishing a semester early cus after the spring I’ll only have 4 classes that I’ll need to take but I’ll be done with the preteqs tho. Thank you!

Hey all! Question for those who have graduated from the CEIN program that are parents of little ones! I applied for the 2021 cohort and am assuming I'll need to put my daughter in a full time program. Can anyone give me an idea of what the hours/typical day looks like?

THANKS!

Hi There,

I don't have kids but I can tell you what some of my classmates with little ones did. So depending on which campus you are at you will have class the same (full) day each week. This day will likely change over the Summer then revert back for the fall semester. For example, we had class on Fridays. During the Summer it was Wednesdays, then we went back to Friday in the fall. In terms of clinical shifts, those will vary with each rotation. You could also be scheduled for either first or second shift (no nights). Since there is not really any consistency throughout the entire year in regard to the schedule, I know a couple of people who hired au pairs for the year. Class days are always 8:30-6 and clinical days are typically two 8-hour shifts per week. You will usually have the opportunity to switch assignments with someone though if needed.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

Thank you! And is one day a week typically a study day? Just looking at the sample schedule that was given at the informational session. It says one day is "preparation for classes" and another is clinical resource lab that's a half day.

Au pair would be interesting and will look into that! Thank you!

My family had an AuPair, and it was well worth the investment. You need flexibility with this program, it is intense and still trying to be a mom. Summer your schedule changes every four weeks, snow days you do not need to worry about schools closing and if your child is sick, they are living in your home, so they take care of them. They get sick at school, your Au Pair picks them up and brings them home. Our Au Pair did kids laundry, cleaned their rooms/bathroom/playroom and kept the kitchen pretty tidy. She also did the grocery shopping and the cooking and packed their lunches (with guidance of course). It was challenging at times having someone in your home, but looking back, it was worth it.
