I currently attend UWA, and if anyone else wants some info I know a few things. UWA is easy to get accepted to I had a 2.5 transfer GPA when I was accepted to the school and to the Pre-nursing program (or pre-professional). Before getting accepted to the Nursing program YOU MUST earn a B or higher in: English 101, A&P 1-2, Physc, Dev. Physc, Microbiology,Art 101, and CPR (if your cpr certificate has expired you are required to retake the class). You must also take the HESI A2 (english only exam) and at the least get a 62%. This is something they just started doing because a lot of pre-reqs from the past year are not required. If you are planning on going on to further your education to a RN-BSN or RN-MSN program you should take other pre-reqs for that program. University of Alabama has a distance by bama BSN program with guaranteed acceptance threw UWA (and if you pass the NCLEX). A lot of people don't choose this option. UWA doesn't give a lot of student support nor does their advisors. So coming on to this site helped me a lot. Its a deserted town and a lot of people tend to leave after their second year, but i am choosing to stay because it's not competitive at all THANK GOD! You do have to drive sometimes a 2 hour drive to clinicals because everything is so far away from Livingston. Take any pre-reqs at a community college. Its accredited. You MUST have a B in all nursing and pre-nursing classes! A C IS FAILING! Which I really don't mind because I want to get into a great RN-MSN program anyway! Hope this helps someone!
