I knew some people who simply said they wanted to go to their other interviews before they made a decision! Good luck!

Yes, when I went to the financial aid office begging for money lol she told me I should have done the AMNP program because I could have gotten federal aid. Apparently there is a certain amount you can borrow as an undergrad, and can borrow more as a ...

An education is an investment.

Dear OP, I'm so sorry you have found yourself in this situation and I'm sorry that some people have been a little harsh on you! I think I may have a viable solution! I earned a BA in music before deciding that nursing was for me, so I know all about...

I just wanted to say that I applied to the same school 3 times before I was accepted and each time I got the rejection I cried and was really mopey and depressed for weeks! It really does suck! Please just oust keep in mind that a rejection doesn't ...

Hello all! I am transferring from UAB to Jeff State after two unsuccessful attempts at getting into the nursing program over there! I just spoke to the adviser and will be applying with 224.5 points. I had 2 A's and a B in my pre-reqs, and studied fo...

I know this is random, but should I get the raspberry pink, coral pink, breast cancer awareness pink, or plum? I am the most indecisive person ever, LOL.

I got the plum for Christmas and I love it! Thanks, all!

Yay! I can hardly wait!

Hey, there! I just wanted to start this thread in case there are others out there impatiently waiting for an acceptance like me. I would be glad to hear from you, and it wouldn't hurt for us to become acquainted, either. This will be my 3rd time to a...

I got accepted, too, PC0229! Congrats!

Will they let you get a refund on the uniforms at Wallace? You have been waiting a long time so I know you don't want to settle for a school. However, if you are gonna bridge to UAB afterwards it might not make a difference what community college you...

Shopping spree at Office Depot! Cause I am a nerd!

I got in at UAB! Good luck to you all!

I will be doing the bridge, too, if I am only accepted at Jeff State. I was surprised at how simple, and fair, the Jeff State application was compared to UAB's, but UAB is my school of choice. I have heard great things about both schools, though. Goo...

My high school grades had nothing to do with my application, either! But do try to score all a's on your nursing foundations courses so you won't have to worry anymore! You will be fine, I promise. Look online for your school's listing of required co...

I will be 26 when I start my ADN/BSN program, depending on which one I get accepted to. So I will finish when I am 28! I feel old sometimes, but it's irrational! We are only in our 20's! Some people just figure out what they want to do sooner than ot...

Good luck! Keep us posted!

I guess it really is a judgement call. Do you have a page/ word limit? However, here is some of the best advice I found. https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/essay-help-very-139365.html Read 1tulip's advice! It's really helpful!

I am writing an essay for the University of Alabama at Birmingham. It can be no longer than a page. The prompt is: Do you know what nurses do? Do you want to know what nurses do? What is the single, most convincing factor that will get you accepted ...

Good luck to you, too, feeneishia! What classes are you taking this semester?

Well, you have to get your ADN first, take the NCLEX and become a nurse. When you do the bridge program, you just take upper division courses. There is also an RN to MSN for 2nd degree students that have their ADN. If you go on uab.edu/nursing and br...

Thank you! The adviser told me the bridge program is much less competitive. If I only get in at JSCC, I plan on bridging, too! Good luck to you!

@ Livi23 - No problem. UAB requires and overall and nurse foundation GPA of at least 2.75. The application consists of - in order of greatest importance to least - the GPA's, essay, resume, and volunteer work of at least 60 hours. The volunteer work ...

Hey! First of all I wish you the best of luck. I, too, am working on an admissions essay. My advice is to make this essay more concise. The admissions people are going to be reading a ton of essays, so you want to answer the questions in the prompt m...
