It's started to finally cool off here in Charlottesville and the weather has been absolutely gorgeous -- 80's and sunny every day! In a few more weeks, I bet it will be perfect weather for scrubs :)
Just wanted to check in and answer a few of the questions that have been posted recently.
Q: What do you suggest to show interest in nursing through your application?
A: There's no single right thing to do to show your interest in nursing as long as you do it somehow! I am an out of state student too, so I can give you my experiences but there is a wide range of things you could do to show your interest. For example, healthcare-related extracurricular activities, such as volunteering in a hospital, are a perfect way to show your interest in nursing. My local hospital has a "Volunteen" program over the summer that is a good way to get involved. But there are tons of different opportunities and ways to show your interest. You also want to be taking the highest level courses that your high school offers. Here's the link for the FAQ's on the School of Nursing's website.

Q: Does the School of Nursing or UVA in general take second semester college freshmen transfers?
A: The School of Nursing does not accept second semester transfers. Here is the link on the SON website to answer more questions you might have as an external transfer.

On the other hand, the College does accept midyear transfer students. Their website says there are about 35 slots for January admission with a few hundred students applying each year.
Hope this helps and keep the questions coming!
Enjoy your week!
