  2. UAB-Fall 2007

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

    The other components more than likely haven't finished their interviews yet...Huntsville component didn't interview until end of January last year. Don't worry, take it easy, and good luck in the

  3. UAB interview

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

    We have 68 in our class, roughly 30 in the Birmingham component, the rest from the regional sites. Not sure about number of applicants. Good

  4. UAB Letter!

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

    Did Phish tell you all to drop his name? :chuckle

  5. UAB interview

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

    I'm in my first semester at UAB and am very happy with the program. The instructors are very laid back and helpful. If you are interviewing for the Birmingham component the interview is very relaxed,...

  6. UAB letter

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

    Good luck Bama! I am in the UAB program right now and it is great. Don't worry about the 10 pounds and don't freak about the interview, it is not a grill session by any

  7. school time blues....

    gatormac2112 replied to changed1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I can't complain....I'm actually enjoying class and the studying hasn't been a hassle like I remembered it being in undergrad. Only 5 weeks in and a long way to go, but so far so

  8. goldman equation/gibbs-donnan equilibrium

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

    i have no idea about the gibbs-donnan equilibrium as i haven't studied that, but i'll give the goldman equation a go. i am not a science wiz so please correct me if i am wrong. a ton of cell functions...

  9. Am I too old?

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

    The easier way to look at it is this: you won't retire until you are in your 60's, so that leaves you with roughly 30 years of worlking left in your life. Would you rather do it as a CRNA or an

  10. UAB, MCG, Mercer, MUSC, UNCC- Opinions??

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

    I agree with Phish....but we are only in our 2nd week. The interview process was low-pressure, all of the instructors and the director are extremely down-to-earth and friendly. I feel very good about...

  11. Need some advice

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

    Most programs will give you instructions telling you who they want references from, i.e., immediate supervisor, nursing instructor, etc....just ask. Don't bother trying to get "impressive" people to...

  12. To repeat or not to repeat! GRE question

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

    It really depends on the program. If you are strong in grades and experience then I would say don't worry about it. If you are applying to UAB I don't think they care about GRE scores, just so long as...

  13. UAB...who starts this month?

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

    Phish--I can get the recording...we will get together to figure out how to best get them on paper. See you

  14. Applying to UAB

    gatormac2112 replied to 1CVRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Wrong. I interviewed this past January and wasn't asked a single clinical question. We discussed my clinical background, but I wasn't grilled on knowledge at all. Also, the interview isn't in front of...

  15. UAB...who starts this month?

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

    I'm there dude. I have only purchased 2 books, the Clinical Anesthesiology book by Mikhael and Miller or something like that (I already owned it before I knew we would need it--bought it on ebay for...

  16. Alternative Loans - here's what I've found

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

    Do it now while you are employed....you need to have income to apply even though you won't be working for the next 2+ years. Better to be safe than sorry, and the interest your debt accrues over these...

  17. Alternative Loans - here's what I've found

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

    I don't think doing your FASFA in June is too late, but I wouldn't wait any later than that. UAB's deadline was April 1st, but I didn't even start filling that stuff out until mid-April and I got my...

  18. Alternative Loans - here's what I've found

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

    I don't even know what my credit score is, but it is probably pretty good as I have paid off HUGE amounts of debt without ever missing a payment. I was finally debt free when I got accepted to...

  20. Alternative Loans - here's what I've found

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

    Received my check for $25,000 today from Wells Fargo....just 4 days after faxing my application to them, including the weekend. Again, no fees, prime

  21. Alternative Loans - here's what I've found

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

    Yes, you have to apply for the loan each year....I didn't think about the personal loan next year and the fact that I won't be working. Shouldn't be a problem though as my wife works and has great...

  22. Am I wrong to say?

    gatormac2112 replied to blee1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I wouldn't take it out on the nurse with the goal of becoming a CRNA....I would have a talk with the unit manager and voice your concerns about hiring someone that only intends to stay a year to get...

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

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

    Well first let me say that I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis and that I hope and pray for your recovery. As for the financial burden, the family is wasting their time talking to the...

  24. Alternative Loans - here's what I've found

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

    I just did the Stafford loans through UAB....as far as I know there aren't any fees associated with it. Not sure why someone would go through a bank or lender when the school can handle that directly....

  25. Alternative Loans - here's what I've found

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

    Thanks for the tip Phish. I am going to see if any of the options without origination fees pan out. So far as I can tell, that comes down to just Sallie Mae Tuition Answer and Wells Fargo Education...
