UAB MSN Summer 2016 Hopefuls!

[BHMNurse]

Hi everyone! I am a student in UAB's RN-BSN program and in my final semester. I applied to the FNP program for Summer 2016 entry. I'd love to meet with other MSN Hopefuls for entry in this semester! Good luck and hope to find some folks to endure this stressful wait until decisions are made!

Hello BHMNurse,

I am considering UAB's FNP or even the Adult/Gero program. I wanted to know what types of issues occured with some of the master's courses, if you don't mind me asking.

Well, I'm accepting at Samford because I have already taken some Master's classes at UAB and have not been pleased thus far. I just received a one page letter via mail telling me that I was admitted. It took forever to get verified! I applied very early, as soon as the application was released. Good luck!!

thanks! it took me 6 weeks to get verified!

The instructors are just not very attentive and there isn't a standardized grading scale. What one instructor grades as a perfect paper 100/100 another instructor grades as a 70/100 because they did not like your wording. It just isn't for me, but maybe I'm just needing a change. 😉

So for the non- standardized grading scale, does that pertain to unit exams as well?

[BHMNurse]

No. Just papers. Papers earn you the majority of points in these classes.

I got an acceptance letter in the mail yesterday as well, just said that more information would be forthcoming by December 11th. BHMNurse- what was the specialty you were admitted for? Hopefully they'll give orientation dates for specialties soon.

Congratulations! How long ago was your account on NursingCAS verified?

Congrats! Did anyone apply to primary pnp?

How long after your account was verified did you receive your acceptance letter?

Anybody received anything in the mail for ACNP/RNFA or heard any updates?

I've been perusing older forums on the program and it appears last year many people did not get decisions until mid-December. The previous e-mail we received said perhaps even January. Despite mailbox stalking and multiple daily attempts to login to Blazernet I am not quite at the point of freaking out. Hopefully it will be a nice Xmas present.
