University of Miami ABSN program scholarship

Published

Good morning everybody.

I applied and got accepted into Accelerated BSN of UM. Now the next step is ABSN scholarship that they offer which covers your entire tuition and books for the entire year in exchange for working with them for 3 years. I need feedback from anybody who has got this scholarship. While the upside is you get a guaranteed job and come out of school debt free but I was interested in the downsides of this scholarship if there are any.

Below are some queries that I have. Feel free to add if I missed anything.

- Can I work at any other hospital simultaneously if I sign a 3 year contract with UM?

- How many hours they give you per week?

- What's the salary?

- The work is tough or easy compared to if I don't sign a contract and work anywhere else?

- What are the limits of the contract (i.e. what breaches it? Can I ask for more days of work or less days of work?

- Any other downside I should he aware of that I have missed considering?

Any feedback regarding this scholarship will be appreciated. I went to med school (but didn't finish) before starting this ABSN program so I already have some loans under my name. Any feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks to everybody in advance :)

Ooo. Great questions!!! I will try perusing the internet to see if I can find any information. I'm hoping to apply for this scholarship as well.

No use... they only give out one scholarship each cycle and there are 30+ applicants... so it's no use to research this if we are not going to get this anyways... thanks though
