UAB Spring 2011 Admission

It's always good to have a back-up plan with nursing. I applied to UAB with a 3.4 and over 1500 hours of healthcare experience and wasn't accepted. I applied for the fall semester and some say the spring is easier. I'm definitely not saying you won't get in because there is a great possibility you will but I do think it's good to have another plan.

symphie- did you end up getting in? I would love to talk to you about the program if you have!

YGPHNM- Did you apply again for the program? Did they give you a reason for not being accepted? Do you have any info on the program? I am currently applying for Fall 2011 and am planning to take classes ahead this summer as a non-degree student.

I would suggest Jacksonville state or south Alabama or Samford if your going for BSN. If you dont mind doing ADN then going back for your bsn I would suggest bevill. I don't know how your other grades look so I can't tell you about other community college programs to apply to. Usually BSN programs go by GPA and ADN programs are point based. For example- most usually use A&P 1,A&P 2, and Micro. The point scheme are as such- a=30 b=20 c=10. Plus there's a TEAS score involved. I think it's similar to what four year school take called a hesi?? So let's say you had a A in ap1 and micro, and the C you stated above in ap2. You would have 70 points. Plus your teas test score would be a "make of break" type thing. If it was good you would have your pick of schools, if it is bad... Well, there's always a LPN TO RN bridge which isn't bad cause I thought of starting there myself.

erin801- I did get in. In fact, I'm about a month away from finishing up my first semester now. Message me on here and I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about it. :)

Symphie,

I am a Pre-Nursing student at UAB; I will be applying in the spring for the Fall 2012 Nursing term. Would you mind if I ask you a few questions regarding admission?

Thank you!
