Applying for UH Manoa Fall '09 Nursing Program

mcubed45 · Mar 28, 2009

I just want to say good luck to everyone!
I really wish they would start giving credit to people who have actual experience. I was an army medic for 3 years, also had EMT license, and now currently an advanced health aide. And if/when I do get in, my job will pay for half my tuition and books.
My cumulative sucks, pre-reqs pretty good, and NET 85%. I really wish I could have taken the NET again and actually tried. I literally took it the last possible day and actually had to wait for people to finish because I didn't have a reserved seat.
Let me know when you guys hear anything...

KCC is supposed to add a healthcare experience component to their admission critera. idk if it got added yet though. it kept getting delayed b/c of the whole approval process things hafta go through to actually get it added.

I called the student services of nursing and the lady said that letters may be mailed by the end of April.

Btw, Just to let you people know, the admission requirements for spring 2010 and after has changed. I just checked the uh manoa nursing website and they changed the acceptable nursing entrance exams, which is down to only the NLN. They won't be doing the NET anymore which sucks cause the NLN is harder, and I only scored a composite of 111!!!! :cry:

Yea I talked to the admissions people too, they said we should hear something by the end of april or early may. They also said the admission process this semester was kinda intense, that's why we haven't received letters confirming they've gotten our app. I wish they would at least let us know they've received it though. :/

I'm kinda confused by the new admission requirements. By what I've seen, new applicants aren't required to take Chem 151/152?? They're listed as an elective and a DP... I'm very confused. :confused: At least apps are due a month earlier, then everyone will find out sooner. :up:

My bad...The new admission requirements is in effect for fall 2010 and after...I also saw the "general elective and DP courses" as chem 151/152 and it does seem confusing.

Wow...there must be a lot of applicants since they're really busy...I need to bring my gpa up and reapply for spring 2010 cause I don't think I'm gonna get in for fall '09...

More like breaking in new staff. This is Chetana and Tiana's first semester with the nursing program. I have no clue who handled our apps last semester (for spring 2009) but they didn't even have a real pre-nursing advisor when people were going in w/ questions.

So yea. Lots of shuffling around. Sucks they got rid of Kate..

Does anyone know how many applicants there were for fall '09?
Just wondering...

About 108 or so.

About 108 or so.

wow...only 108 applicants? I thought it would be more.

How did you find out?

i talked to a counselor.

It would drive me crazy if I only made it as an alternate...But it would be shocking if I get accepted because my gpa ain't that high.

C.H.808 · Apr 23, 2009
