Stay far far away from this program. It is easy to get in but hard to pass. The teachers are terrible and make you feel terrible about yourself and your practice. The dean says they want to help but they don’t. The nurses at the hospitals are terrible. We had a black guy (English wasn’t his first language but he was wicked smart and spoke very well) in our class and one of the nurses (our clinical teacher) in the OB rotation Picked on him, was mean and even yelled at him. He wasn’t even allowed to go into any patient rooms, he would have been a great nurse, wayyy smarter than I am. I am surprised this program is even open, I think I only made it because I put my head down and chugged along. But if you can avoid this program, I would. The teachers and your classmates are backstabbing, so I wouldn’t trust anyone but yourself. Goodluck!

Hi all! Has anyone else applied or submitted an application for the UCAN 2019 program? I didn't see a topic started so I thought I would start one. I am super nervous because I heard its super competitive. A nursing advisor told me that most applicants have a 3.6+ and have had a ton of health care experience, and their bachelors is a science related degree. I submitted my application and it was verified March 20th, so hopefully that's early enough for them to look at me. I heard that if you submit it too late you don't even get looked at. Thanks, Riley
