UMSON Fall 2015

Published

REMINDER!!! The deadline to submit your Fall application is nearing. As of now, the deadline has not changed from February 2 (short of 4 weeks away).

This is my second time applying--I was wait listed for the Spring term. Currently, I am studying to take my TEAS exam again on January 27th. This exam was the only portion of my application I was not confident in. I scored a 70% without refreshing my memory on key concepts by studying before hand. I did find the test to be a "you either no it or you don't" kind of thing so from personal experience--STUDY!

I have no outstanding prerequisites and my sciences are as follows:

AP1. -- B

AP2. -- A

CHEM -- B

MICRO -- A

I had the privilege of chatting with the last group of students and found this forum to be quite helpful! Please use this post as a way of communicating, sharing experiences, and giving advice. Hopefully, we will be classmates in the Fall!:)

Nover,

I would call and ask if I were you to be sure though ...

Hey all,

I have a few questions about the requirements before classes begin.

1. how/where do I get HIPAA certified?

2. what is the code of conduct requirement and how do I satisfy that requirement?

i want to have all m ducks in a row before the semester begins so i'm not too stressed out and can just focus on my school work. Thanks to any and everyone who can help me with these questions.

Have you made a certified profile page yet? If so, those links are listed under the drug and bloodwork requirements.

No, i havent made a certified profile yet. Thank you for shedding some light on that for me. Do you know how long it takes approximately to get HIPAA certified? like a few days/weeks?

For those that got accepted, did you have any C's on your prerequisites? I'm taking precalc right now(What the heck was I thinking taking it over the summer) and I'm afraid I may get a C. I'm trying hard. Everything else I have are all A's so this is freaking me out. I may need to retake it.

I called admissions and the lady does not know what she's talking about. I told her I took English 121 at AACC which othe class do I need to take she said 115 or 116 which is for nonnative speakers. I told her that and she kept saying no this is the class wth. Anyone else take classes at AACC for English?

@nover have you tried going up there in person? I found it helps more than over the phone and email. If you bring course descriptions and show them the description for what you are in and the descriptions for the two classes you possibly may take they can give you a def answer. Trust me. I did the exact thing last month for English I was taking at my community college here. They can grab someone that does transcript evals and give you an answer on the spot.

Thank you blessedNhopeful. I'll try going up there tomorrow. Also how do you signup for the SSIP thing? I accepted late and now I'm totally in the limb about everything. Where do I start? Do

i make a certified profile first? I just paid my deposit last week.

I haven't done it yet but I think it's just an online like module we have to do so shouldn't be a huge deal. Hopefully lol.

Has anyone from Baltimore campus heard anything about scholarships? I got my fin aid but was hoping that perhaps they haven't finished awarding all scholarships...I know they offer max 2500/semester in merit scholarships so I'm biting my nails lol praying that my loan aid will change in the future.

here is UMSON's scholarship info:

@blessednhopeful I didn't have Cs but I think we are supposed to finish all pre reqs with a B or better right?

@nover https://www.nursing.umaryland.edu/admissions/accepted/

this page has everything you need to do. the link to register for SSIP is on there but it looks like all are full cept for one that's for a certain group of students. I would email the SSIP email provided and let them know you need to enroll in one of the sessions.

Hey aspiringnursedd how did you find out about the financial aid? Where can I check how much I will be getting? Totally clueless here.

I had a C on my transcript but not in a major course. It was in medical terminology.

Last semester Hippa certification was an assignment in one of your courses 1st semester. Its just a quick online quiz. No biggie and not a grade. Just completion.
