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.

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!

I'm so ready to see if I got in or not. I can't stop thinking about it.

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!

@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.

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
