[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes.  Friend was NMSF, 1590, top 5%, tons of rigor including AP Stat and BC Calc.  Applied nursing to UVA and UNC from oos.  Thought scores were good enough so didn't try elsewhere.  Ended up at state university but not even in nursing program.
Now....mistake was only having two reaches.  And nursing makes everything unsafe. [/quote]

OOS is always a crapshoot, sure, but instate, Nursing

If she's not getting into nursing instate, who is?!

Is she permanently blocked from nursing, or just has to apply after first year? [/quote]

Direct entry nursing is VERY competitive. I am in another state with our flagship acceptance rate of 65% but the BSN has 6% acceptance rate. I am sure UVA nursing is even more difficult to get into. I don't know who actually get in. People on DCUM don't really talk about nursing programs. [/quote]

This is really interesting to me.  I thought nursing was like teaching.  Isn't there a shortage of well-trained nurses?  Why aren't the programs expanding?[/quote]

+1 our foundation tried to set up a nursing scholarship at a college and they said no thanks, they have so much money that they are throwing at people to go into nursing and not enough students! If you want to do nursing, you should be able to get that degree for free these days.[/quote]
