University of Miami Accelerated BSN spring 2015

[fitchickadee]

Hello everyone, I just wanted to start this thread for anyone interesting or planning on applying to UM for spring 2015. I am finishing up the pre-requisites I need...doing micro class and lab. So far those are the only things I know I have to take. I'm extremely nervous, mainly because of the waiting game to see if I'm accepted or not.

I had to take over class, so I am not too happy about that either, so that also makes me a little down.

Also when I called the other day, someone said they are changing the application process, did anyone else hear that information?

Are you guys finish with all your pre-requisites?

Do you know how much repeating a class puts you in the hole for not getting accepted?

I applied mid October and I have not even received a Canelink email. I have contacted the school several times and last week they said I should receive something this week, but it's the end of the week (Friday) and still nothing. How about you?

Try to sign up for Canelink yourself, maybe there's something there. I did, even though I haven't received my Canelink email either.

Hi everyone, congrats to all of you who were accepted! I was recently accepted to the master's family nurse practitioner program at UM- I also did the accelerated program a few years ago so I know exactly what you will be going through and how busy you will be with studying. I'm from Boca and I am currently working at a hospital in Miami but now that I have been accepted to the FNP program, I will have to move to Miami for sure. Looking to live in the Brickell/Downtown/Miami River area or Coral Gables :)

Hi Everyone,

Congrats again to everyone who got accepted. I look forward to meeting you all in person and learning with you!

I haven't received anything about background checks or fingerprinting. I'll call them tomorrow. Do we also need to be CPR-certified before we start classes? I'm trying to plan out everything I need to before I head down from NYC.

I, too, am looking for a roomie. I don't know if I can get or send PMs since I just signed up. Thanks.

Yes, we must be CPR certified before you start clinicals. UM only accepts the AHA BLS for Healthcare providers course. Try to find one that offers a student discount if you can.

Hey Kayla! Do you have any input or advice for those of us entering the accelerated program this spring? Any feedback would be great :)

[pipmunk]

I'll second this. I would definitely appreciate some advice.
