There is also a program from UVA that you can borrow around $3000 on short notice to cover yourself until loans come in, then you pay it back with the loan money. I don't there is any fee or anything. Just FYI, I know two people in the program who di...

Congrats to all the new CNLs. I'm you are all excited and full of questions. First of all take a deep breath and enjoy your holiday. Please try to refrain from asking Gina D. a ton of questions via email. She is awesome and so helpful but so so busy!...

I'm in Kaitlyn's class too. They told use 36 would be accepted and then took 43. No guarantee with that, but you never know!! Also, UVA is on an extreme nurse shortage. Morals are not always high on every floor, but I have had great clinical experien...

Hi y'all! I'm in the current CNL class. Don't be discouraged before you even apply. Take time on your essays and truly think about WHY you want to be a nurse and WHY this program is right for you. They are expanding the program every year with my cla...

Hey Aubrey!! I live in C'ville now...its wonderful! I have a condo with my husband but if you plan to come visit I would be happy to help you out! I have a spare room if you want to save on hotel costs for your visit. I currently work for the communi...

Thanks for sending me the link. It still won't show up when I search it, even when I added the group. Weird!

I can't get the facebook group to show up in a search...is it listed as unsearchable?? Thanks!

I'm in too y'all!! So so happy!! I currently live in Charlottesville and have for the past year and half. If you have questions about the area feel free to contact me!! Congrats to everyone!! See ya in May!

My advice is start volunteering if you don't have much experience. First, you see if the medical field is really for you and you get to put that experience as part of your application! Start working on your essays early!! You will feel much more reli...

Thank you for your post!! It has made me feel a bit more relaxed as my interview is on Tuesday!! I have been preparing a list of questions as well, but many of mine were answered at the open house. The open house was my confirmation that UVA was the ...

Thank you for letting me know!!

Are only phone interviews being done or do some people get in-person interviews? I have read over so much information I don't remember if they used to do both in the past and switched to just phone interviews. Thank you!!

I just submitted my application yesterday! Here's to many prayers until decisions are made! This is the only school I'm applying to as well!

Thank you! The labs are require for all of the science pre-reqs. I start MicroBio on Monday. The only option on was online through PVCC, but the lab is live. I should be fine. I've had it before, but it was more than 5 years so I get to take it again...

I just didn't want to take it at the same time as I'm taking Anatomy because I still have to work full-time until I get accepted to a nursing program. Is the lab required with microbiology? I found a course in Ohio that has the lecture portion online...

I saw the new pre-req posted. I am attempting to find somewhere online to take it this summer. I am not considered Virginia in-state resident until July 30 and I really don't want to pay 1200 bucks to take it. My question is, does this pre-req requir...

I respect all of you who strive to work with a disability (mental or physical) because in today's world most people just sit back and collect the SSI/SSDI check. I have consumers who could work if they tried, but their parents put them on a check at ...

Thank you so much! That is very encouraging and helpful information. I will be checking the website! I have also contacted Martha Jefferson to volunteer there for some extra experience while I am taking my pre-reqs! Thanks again!

Once I am able to PM I will ask you the professor's name. I have completed all other pre-reqs. I am going to look into volunteering at a nursing home that I often visit in my current job. They could use the help and I could use all the extra experien...

I have worked in mental health for 7 years. I am currently a case manager for adults with severe mental illness. I am trying to get into a nursing program to become a psychiatric nurse. I agree with the people above...it's the stigma. Once you are di...

Hello! I am interested in the CNL program and will be applying for the Class of 2016. I have been working in the mental health field for 7 years. Is mental health considered highly for healthcare experience? I have also been a volunteer with the Amer...
