   KaeRN replied to nicuRN07's topic in SRNA

   This should help you out, I advise checking out the whole site, it gives a very clear picture of what they want http://main.uab.edu/Shrp/default.aspx?pid=77401 Good luck!

2. UAB anyone

   KaeRN replied to squrrldog's topic in SRNA

   Does anyone, who is already familiar with Birmingham, have any suggestions on apartments for the 9 months we will be there? I am starting now to look for a place because there are so many options... I would rather have some opinions from "the locals"...

3. **How to study for the GRE??**

   KaeRN replied to SoReady4CRNA's topic in SRNA

   I am copying my post from the thread "Is the GRE as hard as it looks?" you may want to search for "GRE" because a lot of people have helpful hints on threads that have already been started. but here is my I would suggest Princeton review! It worked...

4. UAB anyone

   KaeRN replied to squrrldog's topic in SRNA

   Congrats to all! I finally got my acceptance letter this weekend. I feel so much more "official" now :) I am so ready to start.

5. I'm in... with one year experience

   KaeRN replied to Forrest Forrest Gump's topic in SRNA

   Well said! You will do great. I had a very smart and determined friend interview after only 6 months and he also got in. They would have been crazy not to accept him. I think it is very bold to apply so early... and I want a bold person taking care o...

6. Trauma ICU?

   KaeRN replied to piper_for_hire's topic in SRNA

   Piper, I just want to say that I think it is great idea to change units... mostly because I just did the same myself ...lol I just found out that I was accepted to UAB for this fall, and I have no doubt that the way I sold myself on this issue and ...

7. Results

   KaeRN replied to putmetosleep's topic in SRNA

   I would hold on to that sheet given after the exam, myself and at least one other person I know had troubles getting our official card and certificate sent to us. Most people get it very fast, but seems like you have a deadline, so I would be prepar...

8. UAB anyone

   KaeRN replied to squrrldog's topic in SRNA

   So, I finally gave up with the post man ... it has been 2 weeks and nothing. I couldn't handle the anxiety anymore so I called UAB today to let them know I was under the impression that they would let us know one way or the other, but I have nothin...

9. to add advanced patho?

   KaeRN replied to JessAnn's topic in SRNA

   I too am applying for UAB. I think depending on your other sciences the B can play either way. To get an interview your last 60 hours GPA and science GPA average have to be a 3.3 period. Unfortunately for some, this is the strictest part of UAB's ...

10. UAB anyone

    KaeRN replied to squrrldog's topic in SRNA

    I have been working all week to try and keep myself from annoying the mail man... and to stop myself from overanalyzing everything that was said in the conversation. The interview was so short. I still don't know what to think! I was surprised that t...

11. UAB anyone

    KaeRN replied to squrrldog's topic in SRNA

    I interviewed yesterday at the Tuscaloosa site. Did anyone else interview there? I thought it was very short interview. I don't know what to think, can't wait to find out the final verdict.

12. (Vent) Busy night...unsafe?

    KaeRN replied to jbp0529's topic in CCU

    I think I worked at your hospital...lol. SuperSleeper has some good points though chances are you are a strong nurse that they trust in these situations to make the right decisions. I have had many of nights like those above and they can be hectic. A...

13. Why be a CCU/ICU RN?

    KaeRN replied to spottybug's topic in CCU

    Everyone has great points. I think the point I agree with the most is finding an area you love. I did not even have a thought about working in an ICU until my last couple semesters in school. I thought I wanted to work in an ER, but after doing a...

14. Help choosing job

    KaeRN replied to ICUNurseJess's topic in SRNA

    Do not work on the floor! You need to be in an ICU to get the critical care experience you need. And once you have been a "floor nurse" it is harder to sell yourself to most managers over a new grad who has only wanted to work in an ICU and wouldn't...

15. UAB anyone

    KaeRN replied to squrrldog's topic in SRNA

    I am interviewing at the Tuscaloosa component at the end of jan. Nervous, but Ecstatic! Everyone please share how the interviews go I just moved to this area so I asked a million questions during my first visits. From what I gather each of the site...
