UAB's NP programs

What's up all? I am a recent graduate of JSU's BSN program. I am wanting to pursue a Master's degree from UAB's SON in ACNP. I am currently employed at UAB in a critical care unit and would like to find out some information from the members of this board. My gpa suffered from a lot of wrong decisions that occurred early in my college days as an undergraduate student. From what I gather from UAB's website, they calculate an overall gpa and a gpa from an individual's last 60 hours. Does anyone know if they use the highest one for admission purposes? IF that is the case, would it not be possible to take additional undergraduate coursework to boost my gpa to a competitive one? One last question, how tough is it overall to be accepted into their nurse practitioner programs?

    UAB calculates the GPA based on the last 60 credits of the undergraduate nursing degree so I don't think there is any way to raise the GPA for them. You can take graduate nursing courses as a non-degreed student and apply as a transfer student. They get a lot of applicants for their programs and preference is given to instate applicants, so I would say their admission is quite competitive. I applied for full time admission for Fall 2011 but my application was rolled over to Spring 2012 but I was granted part-time admission.
