   melrnbcAL replied to TeresaNelson's topic in NP

   Question about the Fitzgerald PMHNP review course. How as the final practice exam? was it all based upon the workbook? I don't want to pay for any repeat for just ceu's.

2. Uab- amnp how many accepted each year?

   melrnbcAL replied to lbuac's topic in Alabama

   If you have an ADN already..they do award a BSN if you have completed the hours and It takes a little longer to get you MSN. You still have to complete all those prereq's, along with the other. The AMNP is very fast paced, so fast, they do not rec...

   Nope, and that is exactly the way I am about to completed my MSN degree. I have a projected graduation date of Dec 13 and have received 3 offers for positions contingent upon program completion, passing the boards, and become certified. A Degree is...

4. Advanced Pathophysiology

   melrnbcAL replied to sammy2415's topic in NP Students

   You are correct, and I was being honest about how hard and obscure the exams were, even with that info above it is no guarantee you will do well. You do have to have some background/knowledge to even contemplate/understand what is being asked. The se...

7. UAB NP program

   melrnbcAL replied to bsnanat2's topic in NP Students

   They use the latest Huether/McCance for Patho and Bates' for assessment. They do not currently have a Mobility program for BSN-DNP like they do for the RN-BSN-MSN mobility/bridge programs. I was able to knock out nearly 12 hours with undergrad studie...

   melrnbcAL replied to a1eyedbandit's topic in NP Students

   Increases your chances, they have had a record number of applications, from the grape vine, all over the nation. I only applied to my #1 choice and made it in, but I am in-state, and work at the hospital connected. Also my track is not a overly popu...

9. Anyone applying to UAB MSN program?

   melrnbcAL replied to drewrucker's topic in Post Graduate

   They calculate both and take whichever is the highest. But sadly only those that are used to complete a nursing degree, not any fluff, or extra. I too started out low from years ago, foolish, and just trying to make it through to the finish. I worke...

    I would suggest you get an older version of the patho book, cut out the index, tab it up and have in a seperate binder/folder. I purchased an uptodate book via online from the evolve site. Did wonders, easy to search, especially for test. They are ...

14. UAB MSN FNP Program for Spring 2012

    melrnbcAL replied to Lize321's topic in Advanced

    I did a double post, this is the edit. I am hoping everyone gets accepted. They have had a record number of applications and I know due to the potential of over saturating the area with BSN students they are decreasing, potentially, the amount by 20...

    I was at work Sat, some little voice in my head told me to check the mail as I drove past the box, but just did not do it. I had to work yesterday so when I saw everyone was receiving letters...I asked my son, who was coming down to B'ham to check a...
