Thank you for saying that! I am so excited! Can I ask what area u are from? And has it been hard to find placement for your clinicals? And do u work full time and go to school?

I live in Mississippi. I work 30+ hours/week. I take call so it varies. I have not had any problems so far with clinical placement. You don't start clinical until the last three semesters. I have my first clinical setup to start next month and just sent out an email yesterday regarding fall clinical and got a positive reply before the end of the day. The one for summer had several applicants prior to mine. I was told I was chosen because I am at UAB. In this area UAB is very well respected.

Thank u for your reply! I can't wait to get started! Can u recommend a hotel to stay at when attending on campus visits like the new student orientation?

Hampton Inn & Suites Birmingham/280 East-Eagle Point is alright, its outside the city probably 15 mins. There is the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Downtown Birmingham that is in the city.

I did too ! I am from Johns Creek, GA. Are you going to June orientation?

I've been accepted into the FNP program as well. I have chosen the July orientation and wondered if anyone had received a packet regarding orientation details? I'd like to confirm travel plans as I will be traveling from the Midwest.
