A little old lady bent my ear and told me "lawyers have clients, I am your patient." She told me this when my instructor said client in front of the patient. 5 years later...I have NEVER called a patient "client" and make it point to tell any nurse a...

If you are interviewing at UAB soon and get accepted....good on ya! DO NOT start on probation. Retake the GRE/MAT as many times as you have to so you don't have that probation cloud over your head. WHY? You will have Gross Anatomy (4 hr class that wi...

Picu.......I'm using the force!!!!

IMHO.....Having your own insurance is one of the best things you could do for yourself. A coworker of mine is an attorney/RN and she stated: 1) tell no one you have your own insurance . The hospital has absolutely no legal authority to make you provi...

First and foremost, this thread has been quite valuable as a resource. Secondly, UAB's financial aid office has been...um....less than stellar. I have tried to find out what info they would need to know since I would have a greater need than my FAFSA...

Thanks for the replies. To answer the question about the SOP on pressors.....there is no SOP. I believe the educator ( who is "educated" with a MSN) had a pulmonary vasospasm occur years ago and that has been her rule since she has been around for so...

Got my letter today for the Montgomery component! Thanks to Phish for all the insight.

I received my UAB interview invitation letter today. Now I have to shave, lose a quick 10 pounds, and dust off the suit! I am pumped!!!!

So Knuckles got one too...almost a full sweep. I am optimistic about this for all of us.

I have taken the GRE again and this time made over the minimum (1030/4) that most programs require. I believe I am competitive in every aspect but the GRE. It seems the GRE is my Achilles heel. Any advice from future, current, and past CRNA students ...

Thanks to everyone for the input. Right now the grad school paperwork is twice as much as the CRNA program. I guess the old military adage applies,"do it once, do it right, all else is gravy." NSDQ!

I signed up for the CCRN test before I looked over any material. WHY? If you have decent test taking abilities you will pass the test. Any CCRN review will help. I suggest a 50/50 approach. Work on test taking skills and synthesizing info rather than...
