Has anyone else applied?...what were your TEASE scores?
hey guys! this is my first post but i've been following this thread since it started lol. I applied for traditional BSN spring 2011 at baltimore campus. I just want to share the news that I got in too (it's a provisional-admit though, I am currently finishing up my electives at AACC)! I just found out a few minutes ago and I immediately went straight to this site to see if you guys heard from UMB as well.
CONGRATULATIONS to all who got in as well! and i'll keep my fingers crossed to those who are still waiting for decision. I look forward to meeting you all!
Hi Grey Lady,I was wondering if you could give any advice to students who have been accepted. What are some things we can do to prepare for school?
Congratulations! After you have sent in your deposit and acceptance of offer form, you will receive a packet from the Office of Admissions with a whole lot of things to do and that will also trigger the start of many emails from me. If you want to get ahead, however, there are a couple of things you can do. One is to get CPR certification but it has to be American Heart Association or American Red Cross, Professional Health Care Provider or Professional Rescuer. There will be CPR classes offered for new students at Shady Grove in December and those dates will be sent to you. The other thing is to start getting your immunizations. The form you will need to use is on the UMB website and is called Student Report of Medical History Form. It will list all the immunizations we require including two (yes two) TB skin tests within the last 12 months. The form will be included in your packet but you could look at it and start getting any immunizations you are missing. The other think is to make sure you can attend both days of Orientation. It would not hurt to review your Anatomy and Physiology and maybe even look at some medical terminology websites. But the main thing is to start finishing up any loose ends of your life - paint the porch, organize stuff, buy gifts and cards, and generally set yourself up to do nothing but school for the next two years. And read blogs from students on this site, of course.
