  1. Anyone take out $50,000 per year to live?

    gatormac2112 replied to ellarose's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm not attacking you by saying this, but it is a shame that the misinformed are the ones that share their feelings on the issue of organ donation. I appreciate the responses of those defending organ...

  2. Some thoughts on age, personality, and interviews

    gatormac2112 replied to ICUDOUCME?'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm not so sure that you have a "confidence" issue...if you did you probably wouldn't have applied. It sounds to me that you are placing too much importance on getting accepted this year (I know that...

  3. Pre CRNA GPA (I know you've all seen this before)

    gatormac2112 replied to joeld311's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Outstanding post. I was pushed through high school with a C-- average (partied too hard), never took the ACT or SAT and found myself in the ARMY. Found out the hard way that an education was needed to...

  4. UAB 2006...who is there?

    gatormac2112 replied to Phishininau's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I can't claim to be a professor of mixology, but I did get a certificate of consumption during my ARMY stint. They didn't give me any college credit

  5. UAB 2006...who is there?

    gatormac2112 replied to Phishininau's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    1) Birmingham 2) Alabama Organ Center -- Hanceville, AL 3) 2 years SICU, 4 years transplant coordinator, 1.5 years at Papa Johns

  6. Anyone hear from UAB yet? Also...

    gatormac2112 replied to Phishininau's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Don't ask that...you won't like his answer which I know happens to be a yes. All that didn't get accepted, I know you won't give up. The process of getting accepted is largely a crap-shoot I...

  7. who all got accepted to Samford and UAB

    gatormac2112 replied to SANDMAN_RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Phish, It must be nice having a choice, I am just glad to get into UAB after getting the alternate list at Samford. I have a feeling I will be seeing you in class at UAB. With UAB I can get my...

  10. Samford Interviews

    gatormac2112 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Has anyone interviewed at Samford yet? If so, how was it? Did you like the school, the instructors, the campus? How do you think you did? Also, if you are also applying to UAB, what is your first...

  11. Samford Interviews

    gatormac2112 replied to gatormac2112's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I called the Director for this reason and he told me that they didn't do "after action" reviews. He suggested that I decide for myself what my weakness is. I was surprised to get such an...

  12. Samford Interviews

    gatormac2112 replied to gatormac2112's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thats just their lame way of saying thanks , but no thanks. I got the same letter. We will be considered if someone that has been accepted goes somewhere else instead, but I'm not going to hold my...

  13. Samford Interviews

    gatormac2112 replied to gatormac2112's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm still in the mix til mid-January. berry--are you still being considered or did you get a denial

    gatormac2112 replied to gatormac2112's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Congrats jabs and phish! Are you two going to still interview with

    gatormac2112 replied to Phishininau's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I went ahead and called UAB today to find out why I had not received an invite to interview....they had me down for the Huntsville applicant pool for which they hadn't sent out invites yet. I had them...

  16. Samford Interviews

    gatormac2112 replied to gatormac2112's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Unfortunately I received a letter from Samford today stating that I didn't get an early acceptance, but will be reconsidered in January after all of the interviews. I knew that this was likely to...

  17. Anyone hear from UAB yet? Also...

    gatormac2112 replied to Phishininau's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hmmmm....I haven't heard anything from UAB yet. I would be shocked not to get an interview. I would be shocked if phishininau didn't get one as I know his credentials as well. I live in Cullman so it...

  18. CRNA program competitiveness

    gatormac2112 replied to RARN2BE's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Do everything you can to keep from getting C's and everything you can to make the A. If you get a B don't sweat it, but the more A's you get, of course the better. If you had any C's in the sciences...

  19. Samford Interviews

    gatormac2112 replied to gatormac2112's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This upcoming Monday for early applicants, and I believe mid-January for the rest. Probably a few days after the last

  20. Samford Interviews

    gatormac2112 replied to gatormac2112's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would be very surprised to get the early selection as well. I think all of the early applicants had very good credentials and they said they would only be offering early selection to about 10% of...

  21. Samford Interviews

    gatormac2112 replied to gatormac2112's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    We had 8 interview today. I'm guessing they are interviewing about 60 applicants and accepting around

  22. Samford Interviews

    gatormac2112 replied to gatormac2112's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I just interviewed today and I must say I am really impressed with the school, the instructors, the students that I met, and the whole process in general. They are more interested in you as a person...

  23. A in Physiology?

    gatormac2112 replied to OURN83's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm fairly certain this is about getting accepted to a CRNA program, not just a nursing program. C's won't get you into a CRNA program (although I did make 2 in nursing school so I hope that isn't...

  24. A in Physiology?

    gatormac2112 replied to OURN83's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    While not disastrous, getting a B in any of your sciences aren't going to help you. If I were you I would work my butt off and get that A. You'll be glad that you did. Take every opportunity now that...

  25. Past mistakes...Do I have a chance to get into CRNA school

    gatormac2112 replied to Renee_RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I understand your anxiety, but the fact that you got your act together will be more impressive to them in the big picture. If your science grades are good and you get good ICU experience you should...
