<p>Can anyone tell me about how the the U of A Tuscaloosa school of nursing ranks? My D wants to go there. She has a 34 ACT and ranks 7 of 491 in her class. Is this a good fit for her? She is from Illinois and I believe she would qualify for a full tuition scholarship. Any thoughts on the program in Tuscaloosa?</p>

<p>Thank you for your help.</p>

<p>I don’t know if undergrad nursing programs are ranked.</p>

<p>I know that Bama has an excellent nursing program with brand new facilities located across the street from the medical center.</p>

<p>The program has those robotic patients that exhibit various symptoms. </p>

<p>*The Simulation Center for Clinical Excellence, located on the second floor of the new facility, has six rooms, each containing a METI or Gaumard simulator for practice scenarios. </p>

<p>The simulators are life-like mannequins that can be programmed for various conditions such as stroke or heart attack and exhibit symptoms similar to live patients, enabling nursing students to gain critical experience before the stakes are too high.

<p>The students enjoy a 99% pass rate on the national exam.</p>

<p>Yes, your D would get free tuition! </p>

<p>Bama has a lot of students from Illinois! this year’s freshman class is over 50% out of state! The university is about 46% OOS.</p>

<p>the campus is gorgeous, the academics are strong and the people are friendly.

<p>Have you visited? You should. The city of Tuscaloosa was named “most livable city” in the United States this year. It is a very nice good-sized city. </p>

<p>The campus sits along the Black Warrior River and there’s a lovely paved and well-lit RiverWalk along the edge for biking and jogging.</p>
