Did anyone sign up for BLS certification course from one of the links they suggested in the pre-matriculation checklist? I think the correct one is "Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers CPR|AED - EXAM AND SKILLS" in the "gearupwithcpr" suggested source, but wanted to see if anyone else did this and got cleared by admissions? Base price is $90 but after adding on Adult First Aid Training, AHA Manual, Pocket Mask, no show fee it seems to total around $200? Does this sound right lol (RIP the wallet)

Can’t help with all of this but I found a free link to the pdf AHA manual on Reddit. Just search it on google and put ‘Reddit’ in the search and it will come up from some nursing subreddit

thanks haha I think I figured out a cheaper way to do it too
 
does anyone know how long it takes for the health clearance to be processed and checked off the pre-matriculation check list?

I could use some advice. I interviewed back in October and was waitlisted around the same time most people were. Prior to being waitlisted, I submitted a letter of intent saying that downstate was my top choice and I would go if admitted. I also went on a tour and reaffirmed my interest via email after the tour. However, I haven’t really been in communication with the school since that tour back in April. Is it worth following up now? Is calling the school advised or is that a bit pushy? I have a DO acceptance, and I need to start thinking about moving to that area in the next week or so. Can anyone give any advice?

I should add I never received any info about Net ID or whatever it’s called (it’s so weird how some people did and others didn’t, makes no sense)
