I don’t see many posts or threads about University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa) Capstone College of Nursing. They offer FNP or PMHNP or dual degree. I am applying for their FNP program Fall 2020. Anyone else also applying? Or anyone who has gone through their program, tell me about it. Thanks!

The Summer semester is a great start. It wasn’t too bad. I can remember maybe like 5 test a semester. We had 2 campus visits for the whole 2 years. You had to do a video for health assessment.

Not many papers at all but you have to write some throughout the 2 years.

I applied for UA’s dual FNP-PMHNP program for fall 2019 and was waitlisted. I am reapplying now for Spring 2022. I got the email today for the interview. This was not required last time I applied. Is it the typical open ended questions? When I first applied I only had 2 years nursing experience. Im hoping the additional 2.5 yrs experience will help.

Yes. It is typical open ended questions. Not bad at all. Good luck!

If they are bringing you for an interview the spot is yours. They just want to make sure there are no red flags and that you’re choosing the right program for you. 
I made a video a while ago that still applies on interview skills. I love using key points from their mission statement in your answer to their questions. Makes you a stand out candidate! Good luck on your journey.

I applied to the FNP Spring 2022 program at UA. I have not received anything yet and I’m getting really nervous, especially since you got an interview so quick!
