UAB MSN Fall 2019

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.

Hi I got accepted into the NNP program. If there is a facebook page please attach the link ?

Has anyone heard back about acceptance to a subspecialty or the MSN DNP seamless progression option? Thanks!

I applied for the seamless program option and I haven’t heard anything. I think I remember reading that we would find out approx 2 weeks before class starts! ?

One of my friend in the program found out she was accepted in the seamless dnp track, I would call the school to ask! I had to call to fix my background check clearance so sometimes they just need us to follow up, doesn’t mean you weren’t accepted.

When I checked my mail Monday I had an acceptance letter in there. I also received an email from the school today confirming.

May i PLEASE ASK for those accepted in 2019

What was your GPA? post-BSN? post MSN?

Hands down the most awkward essay of my life! did you guys have an abstract portion as well? I haven't submitted my essay yet because I have been so confused on how to even begin, but I finally finished it!

I discussed some personal experiences as well as goals as related to the PMHNP track. I described what choosing this track means to me based on my life. I quotes statistics and information on the needs for mental health providers in underserved areas, as well as my intentions to use that knowledge to help those in my homecountry too.
