Mine is Oct. 25th!!! So nervous and excited!!!

@Emilyn14 Congrats! When did you submit your application to Emory? I'm surprised that they've already started accepting. I'm awaiting on one last transcript and I'll have my application submitted as well. Also, did they interview you? I read online that they 'might' request recommendation letters, too. Ahhh!!

@faith_and_favored Does Barry college have a direct entry msn program for non-RNs who have a bachelors degree in non nursing field? I checked their webpage but sadly cannot find anything saying they do. I'm trying to find more schools to apply to in the southeast in case UAB is a no.

@FRronsee-- I'm still torn. There are so many programs that only offer clinical nurse leader so that takes them out of the running. I live in Birmingham and don't want to move across the country, so my options are down to Vanderbilt, Emory, and ECU which all have the FNP route and more--but like I said, I'm very unsure. All three of those programs are extremely competitive. What about you? I really want to see where everyone else is applying to.

Yes, I'm pretty certain that you have to use NursingCas this year for UAB. Unfortunately, I've only seen about 3 schools on NursingCas that have direct entry MSN, so for those of us who are thinking of applying to back up schools... this means multiple applications *sigh* I'm stressing about my stats as well. My gpa is well above the 3.2 but it's not super impressive. But I have read from past amnp threads (from current amnp students) that they don't look at gpa and gre too strongly since it's not the most accurate predictor of nursing school success. In turn they factor in your extracurriculars and medical related experiences. All of you guys seem like you're on the right track! Currently, I'm a pharmacy technician. I'm considering getting a second job more nursing related. I bet PCT and medical scribe will help y'all's application out a lot!

I am, too! I've met a few people around campus who are currently in the program right now and they love it. I have plenty of volunteer hours from being pre-PT my first three years but since I switched so late, I now have a lot of catching up to do in the shadowing department. Although it's not a requirement, I've heard that they want to accept students who are 100% certain what NPs actually do. And I know that the undergraduate nursing program requires at least 60 hours so I'm setting that as my goal.

Hey everyone! I'm currently a student at The University of Alabama at Birmingham. I graduate this December and I'll be applying to UAB's AMNP program this Fall for the Spring 2017 class! I hope this group/thread can be used to help each other out through the application process. Also, to anyone currently in the AMNP program, please don't hesitate to drop in and share your application experience! :)
