I've been looking online for guidance with University of AL FNP program. I just received pending admission following my background check and drug screen and was wondering if anyone has any preparation guidance for Fall. I work full time with children so I'm most likely going to go part time but I would reallyyyy like to go full time! Any advice since working part time is not an option? Has anyone else started/completed this program and have any guidance. My biggest fear is paper writing because I loathe writing papers.

Hey did you apply for Fall 2022? I’m still waiting to hear back from them since completing my interview. I was wondering if you heard back online or by mail?

Hey! Yes, I applied for Fall 2022. I received an email reporting acceptance upon completion of my drug screen and background check. Now that those have been completed, I'm still waiting on the official letter. I did my interview last year but ended up hospitalized from covid, and I was clearly still not better by my interview, so I think that's why I received my email so soon after applying for this upcoming Fall. I've heard that if you're getting an interview you're pretty close to a guaranteed acceptance unless there are red flags (like me being barely able to talk LOL). So if you are realllyyyy wanting the UA and for some reason it doesn't work out reapply for the next coming semester!

Ahh okay! I’m anxiously waiting! Sorry to hear about that covid experience, that sounds miserable! Glad your better & able to start this Fall! FNP program right? I keep checking my status online but it just says “pending department review”.

Well keep me posted :))! And thanks it was definitely horrible and took monthssss to get back to close to normal! Ahhh yes I was just telling my husband that I'm anxious to have my bama email setup and everything. If you need anything let me know!! Oh and yes FNP, oh but I chose part time track because I'm terrified to stay on full time (which is the only option at my job) andddd do school full time with two kids LOL

I sure will! 
Oh I can relate to that, the covid effects lasted so long! Horrible! 
I believe I did the part time program too! I have a one year old & work as well so I definitely have to be able to time manage everything! I’ll keep you posted on when I hear something ?

Hey Yall! I am so glad I finally found a thread for the fall semester. I also applied for the fall program and received a "pending background check and drug screen" email 2 weeks ago. I am not waiting for the official offer. 

I have aimlessly searched other areas to see if I could find any advice from previous students, but most things I find are just regarding admission and acceptance. If you guys find any groups of previous students, let me know, and I will do the same!

Awesome!! I do remember that when I was not chosen I also received an email so as long as you don't have an email they're still working on things ?

Okay sounds good! Yesterday my status on my app changed to this “awaiting decision confirmation” not sure if that’s good or bad ?

Hey! Yes I’ve had a hard time finding anything as well! I was hoping there was a fall admit FB page or something too! It’s nice to know other people in the same program, but this is all I’ve found! Congrats on getting accepted! I’m anxiously waiting still!
