Hi, can I ask why you are transferring to UAB? Was your experience at Troy not a good one?

So how did everyone do this spring semester at Troy? Although some of the posters have said that the teachers were less than helpful, I have found that they were extremely helpful. I would say this past semester was very successful. I took Research Methodology and Leadership for a reference. I am scheduled to take Biostatistics and Nurse Theory this summer.

So excited I have my interview next week!!! Now I have to prepare a little for it! Let's keep each other posted during this journey!

No, still waiting...hopefully, in the next 2 weeks!

Thanks, girl!

Well, I am not sure if they do for the MSN/FNP program, but for the BSN-DNP /MSN-DNP program we have to be contacted for an interview.

Tellemae, have you had your interview yet? I have not taken advanced pharm or patho yet. I am supposed to be taking research and advanced nursing theory starting next week. I will see how that goes.

Emailed your yahoo address. :)

I am taking my classes with Liberty University Online. How about you? Where are you taking your classes? The classes at Liberty run for 8 week sub-terms. I love their format! I wish I could have a waiver for the GRE. No one at the school has mentioned it as an option for me. I really think that it is difficult for one test to determine how well a student will perform as a student nurse practitioner. I took the TEAS test before nursing school (still did not do great in math) but I graduated from nursing school with honors. I don't understand the high requirements placed on these pre-entrance examinations.

Hey, Nursebyfaith! Do you know how the GRE compares to the MAT? I wish I could have a waiver for the GRE. My problem is I did below average on the math portion of the exam. The verbal portion I did fine. My gpa is 3.84 :) I am registered to take two classes as well...Nursing theory, and a research class. These begin in October and finish in December. The director of the program said that these should transfer in without any problems. I live in San Antonio, Texas. Where are you from? I hope we are both accepted. I am worried about my math scores. All I can do is pray now. Taneka

Nursebyfaith, I just took the Gre today. Wow, that was hard! How did you do on the Gre? I wish that they did not take that exam into consideration. My gpa is very good, but it is because I work very hard for my grades. One of the faculty there told me that they are reconsidering having that exam as a requirement. A lot of schools do not require it any longer. Forgot to mention that I applied to Troy for their Spring 2015 admission.

Hi, I live in Texas. Nursebyfaith where are you from? Did you submit your application for January

Hi, Everyone! I am also planning to apply for the January/Spring class. I was so pleased talking with Dr. Spulock (director of BSN-DNP program) I still have to take the GRE. Have any of you taken the GRE? I am nervous about that exam.

. Congratulations! Very happy for you!

Tasha, I am so excited for you!!! Congrats, girl! You are going to be a wonderful FNP! Taneka
