Does that form have to be filled out before we apply or just before classes would start?

It looks like after you are accepted and before you start clinicals. I believe it is an Arkansas Board of Nursing mandate that you have a minimum of 2000 hours before pursuing an advanced nursing degree.

For anyone that has completed their application; did you get an email to log into GUS, the student portal website? In the email it said that there was possibly a to do list of stuff but when I logged in there was nothing to do.

What should be included in the professional statement?

Applicants are expected to submit a concise statement (no more than 250 words) addressing why you are pursuing a Doctor in Nursing Practice degree in the UAMS Nurse Anesthesia program, and what motivated you to seek Nurse Anesthesia as a specialty. Include future plans and contributions to promote the nurse anesthesia profession.
