Updated:   Published

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to start this thread for the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) MSN program Fall 2019 applicants. We can use this thread to keep track of the application process, GPA, application deadlines and acceptance or denial letters. Also as a way to stay sane during this stressful time. Support each other during this journey to become an Advanced Pracrice Provider.

I am applying for Fall 2019 MSN Psych Program for PMHNP. I finish my BSN in May 2019 and have my ASN with a GPA of 3.76. My GPA for the BSN should be 4.0 if all stays the same grade wise. My letters of reccomendation are from the program director ar my University, a member of the Faculty team and the Nursing Director of the Surgical Services Department at my workplace. My application letter is APA formatted with at least 3 references and close to 800 word count. Application deadline for the PMHNP track is Febraury 21, 2019.

What specialty track are you all applying to? What are yor GPA scores. Do you plan on taking the GRE? Share any thoughts.

Got my letter. Accepted into the Primary care peds program. However, it says I must do clinical in Oklahoma but the people who have precepted me are in AR. (I live on the border) I know AR is a state they work with. If I cant completed clinical will they help me find preceptors in OK?

Very bittersweet at the moment and of course it is too late to call so I won't know anything until Monday :(

I'm in the same program! The way the letter reads I think as long as you are in a state that they work with you are fine you just have to let them know.

Just got my letter today in Florida. I have been accepted to AGNP.

I am moving in the next few months, and called the school earlier today to talk about that (also got orientation times: 730a-5p) As long as your state is on their list (link in their letter) you just notify them and they will make the changes, you need your BON license.

Has anyone heard anything about the advanced patho class that we take? I've heard that it is very difficult just curious if anyone knows someone who has taken it recently with any advice?

I took it a couple of years ago as a non-degree seeking student and it wasn’t bad. I really enjoyed the class and professor support was great!
