UTHSC Memphis ABSN Program

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Has anyone else applied to the accelerated BSN program at The University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis for the fall of 2019? I have applied and it's driving me crazy waiting to hear something back. I asked the admissions office and they told me applicants would begin to hear back about interviews sometime in February. Judging by previous posts regarding this topic applicants have had interviews in the past as early as the first week of February and even gotten acceptance letters as early as February 19th. I am wondering it will be any different this year due to the program changing from a 17 month program to a 12 month program. Also, this year you must have already obtained a bachelors degree; whereas in previous years you could have applied as long as you had completed your pre-requisites and 60 credit hours. I would also be willing to assume that because now you must have a bachelors degree to apply the number of applicants will decrease. I'm 25 and I am so excited about starting a career in nursing, I can't wait to hear something from UTHSC!

haileyannm that’s very odd considering they have already told applicants they would be communicating with us about admission decisions on the 15th or February.

Right on the email they sent prior to them calling for interviews they said we would know on the 15th. I wonder did they push back the date now or something.

If they push the date back I will be disappointed. I have had a mental countdown clock running in my head since I interviewed! ? I don't know how much longer I can take. I am overly excited and want to know!!?

I would think sometime before or shortly after lunch. My phone will be glued to my hand all day for sure! As soon as someone else hears something let us know! Good luck everyone!

Hello Guys:

I too applied to the ABSN Program @ UTHSC. Do you all know how long they will be contacting applicants and conducting interviews? I completed everything , have an MBA and Master of Education ( Teaching and Leadership).

Anxiously awaiting some news.

Did you ever hear anything back?

Anybody heard anything?

Nothing yet. It’s driving me crazy! I might call the admissions office if I don’t hear anything by around 4:15 to verify that they still plan on contacting applicants today regarding admission.

I just called Student Affairs and they said decisions will be released today sometime before 5.

Wishing everyone luck!! I’ve been checking my email like crazy all day!!

I was accepted!! Just got the email.
