University of Miami Accelerated BSN-2013

U.S.A. Florida

Published

Hi ALL,

I wanted to start this thread for all those who applied and are interested in applying for UM's accelerated BSN next spring (Jan 2013)!!

Has any one applied or been accepted yet?

Please reply

I think it's different for me, because since I am a re-admit student, it shows me as already enrolled as a ABSN student. I'm soooo confused cause I would like to get started on all my required items asap, but I don't see it anywhere. I'm just going to have to call first thing on Monday.

No one here is going through the same thing right??? ahhhh. lol

Has anyone made the facebook group yet???

Also, Elsevier (the company that provides the HESI exams) does not provide support for BootCamp and does not recommend running their testing software on it, nor on any PC emulator. Therefore, technical support for notebooks running BootCamp will be very limited at the School level as well. Students who take HESI exams on a Mac through the BootCamp software or via any PC emulator do so at their own risk. If a student still decides to use an Apple laptop despite this disclaimer, they must make sure that it meets the following minimum requirements with sufficient time prior to their first HESI exam:3.06GHz Intel Core i3 processor or greaterMac OS 10.6 or higher4GB RAM or greater 300GB Hard Drive or greater8x DVD+/-RW Drive802.11n Wireless LAN cardBoot Camp software properly installed and testedOn the Windows side Install Windows 7 or highermake sure that Internet Explorer 8.0 or higher and Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 or higher are installed Be sure to "Activate" the copy of Windows installed.Student laptops must be fully functional prior to arriving to class for an exam or quiz.

I live in west kendall, so I'm trying to decide whether to commute or not, but it will all depend on my finances.

For me that I live relatively in center of Miami, I prefer commute because I just couldnt afford those places and I am not going to able to work when start the classes. I heard that Dadeland and Brickell are prefect for UM students. I don't recommend you Coral Gables area because is really expensive. Also, we need to communte for clinicals in hospitals that are twice a week. If you or one of you decide to move close DT , maybe we can commnute together. :yes:

Congrats to all those who were accepted, I as well will be starting in January 2013! Like some of you, my fiance and I are looking to move down to Miami and would love to find roommates to cut some of the costs. I will mention I moved from Miami to Palm Beach County once finishing school so I have a pretty good idea of where to live and how to get around. Please let me know and congrats again.!

Hi Starvilla,

If you don't mind me asking house much do you pay for rent. I have begun looking and it is terrifying me. :nailbiting: I understand that Miami is a popular city and that housing is really expensive but I had no idea. I am looking for a 2/2 or 2/1 with a 1000.00 month max... Do you know any real estate agents that can help me?
