UAB AMNP Cohort 2018 Applicants

Published

Hello Everyone,

I created this discussion for those of us who are applying to the AMNP program for 2018 to ask questions, share information, etc.

Hi there! So glad you created this! I'm in the process of completing my pre-reqs now and plan to submit my application this summer. I'm done with my nutrition class as of tomorrow and will complete my four remaining sciences this summer and fall.

I will be taking my nutrition class this summer, which will wrap up my pre-reqs.

Have you started your application yet? I tried to start it the other day but it said there was a different link we were supposed to use but I did not see it.

I have not started my application yet because I did not if you are allowed to start it and then just come back and work on it as you please. I am assuming that you can. Do you know if that is how it works?

I am applying at the end of this summer. I am doing my prereqs at UAB and will take physiology and chem this summer and nutrition and microbiology this fall. I took anatomy, developmental psych, and chem this spring and I loved all of the professors at UAB. I am just a little lost on the resume and what exactly they want to see from an applicant. Any info anybody knows on that would be great. I graduated with a 3.6 GPA in Advertising, and got all As on my prereqs so far

I am applying at the end of the summer too. I'm graduating UA as a Psychology major in December. 3.3 overall and pre req with CNA experience. I took the GRE too. I'm applying to the second degree BSN so hopefully I'll get into one of the programs.

Hey y'all! I'm currently in the process of applying as well and I plan on submitting by the end of summer! I'm taking one prereq this summer and the last one in the fall! I'm excited and nervous about applying but best wishes to everyone!!

Does anyone know how many apps they've gotten this year or how many they're accepting? I've read the threads from the past few years but I was wondering if anyone knows anything current.

Hello. I stumbled along this thread because I was trying to find a list of my classes next semester and this page and the new curriculum popped up. Lol. I am currently in the program and would be happy to help any way that I can! It is still very early but I'll try to keep up with the thread. Lol.

Thank you so much! Any feedback is awesome. I'm honestly most nervous about my GPA & at the time they review apps I'll only have had a year of full time CNA work. I feel good about my GRE, essay and LORs. Really hoping to get accepted to the program but if not I'll try and do 2nd degree BSN and work up to my masters.

How do you feel like they looked at you & your cohorts applications? Was there one or two areas of emphasis or do they consider everything? Also what was your experience with the interview like?

Hey! So at the time I applied I had a 3.5. BUT I also have friends who got in with 3.2s and there may even be people with lower GPAs. I would really focus on why you want to be an RN. Show your personality, show that you are passionate and be genuine. I worked for city government in recreation before starting the program. That has absolutely nothing to do with nursing but my degree is in health informatics. So CNA experience is great. In the interview they ask questions about your ability to handle stress and they really want to know why you want to be a nurse and if you can work well with others.
