Anyone applying to UAB MSN program?

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

Hey just wondering if anyone is applying to UAB's MSN program. I'm applying to their FNP program, but still unsure as to whether or not i'm making the right decision about school choice. I'm specifically wondering about the time commitment. I work full-time and am wondering if I would still be able to keep my full-time job and do the distance learning format full-time as well. Also, cost is a major issue to me as my husband is racking up a gizzion dollars in dental school loans. Any info would be awesome.

I'm in!! FNP part time :)

I submitted my stuff to certified background last tuesday and I got an email today that my MMR was not approved because it does not have the address on it. I just uploaded the individual page (p1) so I guess I just need to upload all three pages to each requirement? Is that what you did? I haven't been approved/disapproved on any of the others yet. I was able to make a blazerid, but I have like four holds so that I can't register. Just waiting on everything to go through! Patience...

i uploaded all my immunization stuff in one document/pdf - which includes multiple records documenting my immunizations, and then applied it to all of the requirements that were listed that were appropriate.

My first semester will be patho and issues...I've faxed the paperwork, done the background check, and going to UDS tomorrow. Nervous about starting the medical clearance stuff as it looks pretty confusing. But all the questions answered on here have been very helpful as I am just now going through all of this :) And I think the facebook group is a great idea...I'd love to get to know everyone else starting school!

Luvlee: It took me 2-3 days after turning in the first 4 documents to set up my blazer account. I had called the SON office prior to that and they told me once those first 4 were received I would be able to set it up after a few days and I was able to do that. Also, I was able to go ahead and complete all of my financial aid requirements.

I also set up my immunization tracker by uploading everything as one document and applying it to all of my requirements. The only thing that was not approved was my meningococcal section. You must put N/A here if it is not a requirement for you. It cannot simply be left blank. I had to resubmit with N/A and am awaiting to see if it is now complete.

JK: We have the same classes next semester. I too think a facebook page for our class is a great idea. I think that would be an awesome way for us to compare, encourage, and help eachother.

One more thing...I got the patho and issues books. The Patho book is HUGE!!! The good news is everything in it so far is familiar from previous classes, but there is a lot of content. The issues book is much smaller:yelclap:

Specializes in Adult/Gerontological NP-post masters.

I've decided to go o UAB instead of USA for the anp program...post masters. Talk about going back and forth in my head. So far I have submitted the acceptance forms ,ferpa, CPR, and license. I did the background check and the uds. Im now trying to upload the health forms. I'm scheduled to take adv. Path in the fall too. What book do we need? I don't have that information yet. Thanks Dana

I've got my blazer id registered.

It's lanpwin@uab

When can we register for classes?

I'll figure out the facebook group as soon as I can.

for advanced patho, the book ISBN is

Author:MCCANCE

•Edition:6TH 10

•Publisher:ELSEVIER

•ISBN:9780323065849

i think i have to add people as friends before i can start a group because it requires me to invite people... and i am not facebook friends with anyone starting UAB MSN Fall 2011.

Specializes in Level II Trauma Center ICU.

Congratulations on your admission to UAB guys and gals!! I would say good luck but I don't think you'll need it ;)

Luvlee--maybe if you try to invite a close friend or something so that it will at least let you create the group? And then we can all find it and join?

And thanks for the book info! does anyone know what the book info is for the issues class?
