BUNDLE-ONLY BONUS: PROFESSIONAL PATHWAYS CAREER KIT
Knowing UM is half the job search. The other half is knowing where to apply and how to get noticed. Three downloadable guides, available only in the bundle, cover that half:
Your UM Career Map: UM job titles and settings, how your nursing background transfers, which certifications matter and when, a 90-day job plan, and interview prep with staff-role and behavioral questions.
The UM Resume Toolkit: a UM resume template, summary formulas, a bank of resume bullets, a keyword list, and a 10-minute routine for tailoring your resume to every application.
Where UM Nurses Get Hired: a directory of employers that hire UM nurses in nine settings, from national health plans to specialty review companies, hospitals, and the VA. It also lists the Blue Cross and Medicaid plans in all 50 states and DC, the job titles each employer uses, and one-click job searches.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will the bundle help me get a UM job?
The courses give you the UM knowledge employers screen for, and the bonus guides show you where UM nurses get hired, how to present your experience, and how to prepare for interviews. No course can guarantee a job, but you’ll know exactly where to apply and what hiring managers look for.
Do I get a certificate for each course?
Yes. Each of the three courses issues its own BRN-approved CE certificate on completion, for a combined 9.0 contact hours.
Do the Professional Pathways guides count toward CE?
No. They’re bonus career resources, not CE courses. Your 9.0 contact hours come from the three courses. You’ll find all three guides in your account as a separate “Bundle Bonus” course.
Is this accepted outside California?
MedScholaria is a California BRN-approved provider (CEP #18046). Our CE is accepted for license renewal in 33 states plus DC. See the full list at medscholaria.com/nursing-ce-state-acceptance, and check your state board for any topic-specific requirements.
How long do I have access?
The courses are self-paced with no expiration pressure. Complete them on your schedule.
I already bought the intro course. Should I buy the bundle?
If you own the intro course, your best value is usually the flagship course with your alumni discount. The bundle is designed for nurses starting fresh.
Do I need UM experience to start?
No. The bundle is sequenced from foundational to advanced. An active RN license is the only prerequisite.
I finished a course. Am I done with the bundle?
Probably not. The bundle contains three courses plus three bonus guides, and Course 3 is the longest at 5.0 hours, so it’s easy to finish it and assume that was everything. Check your account for the other courses and your Professional Pathways guides; they’re already paid for.
