Anyone applying to UAB MSN program?

Published

Hey just wondering if anyone is applying to UAB's MSN program. I'm applying to their FNP program, but still unsure as to whether or not i'm making the right decision about school choice. I'm specifically wondering about the time commitment. I work full-time and am wondering if I would still be able to keep my full-time job and do the distance learning format full-time as well. Also, cost is a major issue to me as my husband is racking up a gizzion dollars in dental school loans. Any info would be awesome.

I've heard nothing yet. With each day that passes, I loose a little hope. I just really thought we would have heard something by now. I'm running out of patience. I just want this so bad. As we all do, I'm sure!

I haven't heard anything either. Worry, worry, worry. Either way it goes, I need to know, because I'm getting sick just thinking about the possibility of not being chosen. Your chances are way better than mine I have a 3.0 gpa, only 413 on MAT, and 7 years nursing experience. But I still want the official word so I can make a plan for my life. Good luck to all of you.

So, I couldn't wait any more. I contacted someone at the school, and they said they would be mailing letters out next week and to be on the lookout. At least now I have a better idea when we will hear something. This waiting is so hard. I also asked about how many applicants they had and how many would be accepted, but he said they do not give out those numbers. I wonder why? Any thoughts?

I like your time frame better:) I was told this a.m. that it would be on or before 11/15/10....leaving themselves a lot of room there. I originally submitted my application at the end of May right after I graduated from the BSN portion of their mobility program. Good luck on admission.

I just can't believe we haven't heard anything, yet. I know we will soon be laughing (or crying) about this whole ideal, but I just wish it was over already. Surely they realize we are suffering in the uncertainty of not knowing. They must have considered the fact that those who will be accepted must get on with registering for next semester and those who are not must go on with their lives and initiate "Plan B" (or in my case "Plan C").

I am checking this blog 3-4 times daily just to see if one of you has received a letter, yet. I will definately post when I receive mine, until then...the anxiety continues.

Didn't get in either. Didn't realize how devastated I would be. This sucks. Going to try for Fall 2011, but don't want to wait that long. Going to start looking into other schools. Any suggestions? Good luck to the rest of you!
