University of Miami Accelerated BSN Program

Published

Hi there! I received my acceptance letter for the Summer 2011 Accelerated BSN Program at UM. I was just wondering if anyone who is already in this program could give me some insight on how they like it. Some of my main questions are is it possible to work part-time throughout the program, and is it difficult to obtain scholarships, etc.? I am from Miami, but I currently live in Ohio, so I have been going back and forth as to whether I should stay here or go back to where it's sunny. :) Anyhow, if anyone who is going through the program or has heard anything about the program has any info they can give me, it would be greatly appreciated!! THANKS!

Hi Grace,

How are you?

I have a question. I read somewhere that we need to pay for a background check, but I have not received any information regarding to this matter. I just received some information regarding a second deposit to be paid by February 28th. Do you have any information about it?

Thank you very much!

Heyy, Actually It is on the certificate. Its the UMbackcheck website and its $95.

you cannot sit for the nclex examination until you complete the program..nclex is the exam for your state licensing to practice.....

iridium, on fb there is a group for the may 2010 accepted students you can request to join, they still all talk and post about their experiences so its a good place to go. group name is something like university of miami Accelerated BSN May 2010 cohort

also, for you guys that have been accepted. congrats!!! :) if you dont mind me asking when did you guys send in your applications?

I am going to the University of Miami on Monday to pay the $500 deposit. As per the fingerprints and the drug screening, I just received the forms today. I called and they said that as far as I started the process, I will be fine. I just want to make sure that I will not lose my spot because the process with the fingerprints is not complete. does anybody have the same situation?

Thanks!

Hi I just found out today I got into the Accelerated BSN program for the summer.

I was just curious to thoughts on the program. I graduated from UF with my BSBA last year and will have to pay for this program entirely through financial aid then pay it back myself. I was just wondering thoughts on if it was worth it or not.

I also applied to Jacksonville University and it is the same price but I am from Jacksonville and could save money on living expenses here, but I do think UM has a better program.

Also, where do people live that is near campus and relatively reasonable. Thanks!
