UofM accelerated nursing , May 2014

Hello everyone,

I got in for the May 2014 accelerated bachelors of nursing program, just got my answer about a month ago. today i received the letter asking for Immunization, FBI clearance, drug testing, and CPR/BLS certification. I am surprised i haven't seen/heard anything about those requirements before, even though i spoke with the school representatives a lot in the last month. I read some forums and students there said it took them over a month to get the fbi clearance done. =/ can anyone from the may 2014 class tell me how long it took them to get everything done? and how much did it all cost? I heard it was along the lines of $200.

also one more question, i went on the AHA website and there are a few of the CPR AED, and BLS courses listed. i am not sure which one to do. there is a BLS for healthcare professionals course and looks like it has CPR included in it, is it acceptable to just take that one?

thank you!

I received information about those requirements two weeks ago. It shouldn't take long for everything to get done as long as your in Florida from what I hear. Most of my stuff are done i'm just waiting on my results from my prints and the info for drug testing. The background check is $169. And the certification is "BLS for Healthcare Professionals" and that cost me around $50. Hope this helps!

Thank you nikkitas! I'm going to look for the Facebook group. Was the bls for healthcare professionals enough to cover the CPR/bls requirement? Or will I still need to take a separate CPR course as well?.

I also have to take the CLEP for human growth and development (mine only goes up to adolescence), so what I saw all the extra requirements I got a bit worried
