Hello all,

I am planning a move to Alaska this August. I'm currently a sophomore in a nursing program but have not started my clinicals yet so switching programs isn't a huge deal. I'm planning on applying this week to meet the February 1st deadline, but I saw on another post that there is a waitlist. Is this true for both the associates and bachelors degree? I'm currently a 4.0 student, but I'm still concerned about being placed on a waitlist. Any help would be great!

The only way your going to get a really good answer you can rely on is to call UAA School of Nursing.

I'm alarmed that the 4.0 student had not figured that out maybe........

I don't understand people sometimes. Why are they afraid to pick up the phone and call? Seems the art of personal communications is dying thing. Still don't understand why people sitting in the same room as me feel it necessary to send me a text message.

Considering other discussion forums have people stating that 4.0 students get waitlisted for 18-24 months, maybe a 4.0 student can't. How about you drop the ****ty attitude because if you don't have something helpful to say then don't say anything at all. People post on these boards for advice, not to be demeaned. I live 4200 miles away so I'm sorry if things like my life and time differences make calling people a little troubling. So if there is something helpful you'd like to add then I'd love to hear it, otherwise stop adding to the cliche that some Alaskans can be rude.

At 1:00 p.m. Virginia time it's 9:00 a.m. in Alaska. How would anyone on this forum know what the official wait list would be? Lose the attitude, take responsibility for your own self. Learn how to use the phone. Don't call on Monday. It's a holiday. The phone number for the UAA Nursing school program. 907-786-4550 Hope that helps!!!

His advice is true though that it would be best to call the school directly. Good luck and hope you don't have to wait too long.

Maybe I don't want to move to Alaska if everyone will be as rude and unhelpful as you all are.

You have asked advice but don't like the answers. The only way to get a correct answer is to e-mail or call the school!! You can arrange a time to call, not that difficult. How about you drop the attitude and don't expect this forum to do your homework for you.
