pythered 1 Post Sep 20, 2016 I'm applying for May 2017. I'm worried because I'll still have classes in progress. A&P2 and pyschology. I work full time as an accountant and volunteer at UNC hospital one night a week.

Bioboo 20 Posts Has 1 years experience. Oct 7, 2016 I applied for the Jan absn as well. Last year the letters will mailed out the day after Columbus day, I would imagine the end of next week should be about right. They say to contact the office if you don't receive any notice by Nov. 1st. Good luck!
Jessicaannie 8 Posts Oct 11, 2016 I'm so ready to see if I got in or not. I can't stop thinking about it.
KAffeegirl 40 Posts Oct 11, 2016 Years past they got the letters last year, but watch they won't come until the 30th haha.
longor11 9 Posts Oct 11, 2016 Currently waiting to hear back as well and beginning to get anxious!I graduated a year ago in exercise physiology with a 3.5 cumulative gpa and a 3.8 in the required science classes and have been working as a personal trainer ever since. I only have around 50 volunteer hours that I completed during college at the saving grace dog shelter near my home in Raleigh. However, I held a part time job all throughout my time in school and volunteered to be a peer tutor in anatomy at the campus for a semester. I also participated in an independent research program where we mentored overweight and obese teenagers around the community. Other than that, I just wrapped up my Nurse aide certification but have no job experience with it yet. The only other nursing exposure that I have is some job shadowing I did with a couple different doctors who I train at the gym and were nice enough to invite me to their hospitals. Not quite sure how I stand but keeping my fingers crossed that I'll hear some good news this week or next. Does anyone think I'll have a good shot at getting in? I've read posts from people in the past years with 4.0 gps and tons of CNA/ hospital work.Feel free to share your stats if you don't mind!
Jessicaannie 8 Posts Oct 11, 2016 @longor11 I think you have a good chance of getting in. They are big on volunteer work. The nurse aide certification is great too. What made you want to do nursing? I hope you get in.
longor11 9 Posts Oct 11, 2016 Thanks Jessica! I find professions that have a lot of meaning towards other peoples lives and their health to be more rewarding than most others. To me, that's something I can wake up and enjoy doing every day. Business and sales get on my nerves quite frankly haha and personal training is something I can always do on the side. Throughout college, I considered physical therapy, environmental science, and nursing.. ultimately deciding that nursing and work in a hosptial was the route I wanted to go. I have me eyes on getting my masters as a nurse practitioner! So, UNC currently sits on the top of my list of absn schools since its close to my home in Raleigh. We shall see-Ryan
