focker-male nurse

I am going to assume that you, the original poster, are already an RN with a previous degree in Biology. In this case UAB (Birmingham, Alabama) accepts degrees other than BSN's. The school I am going to attend (Samford University) only accepts BSN's...

I was accepted. Good Luck Jess. I hope you get a call. A friend of mine was an alternate at UAB and she pretty much counted them out this year. So she applied to Samford with us and gt an interview. In August right before interviews she got a call to...

Be up front with your new employer especially you nurse manager and charge nurse. On einterviewer for CRNA school said she liked that I made my intentions known to my employer (which was mentioned in my reference letter). Otherwise if people ask be h...

I was just wondering if any RN's out there have been employed as new grads and went through UAB's intern program. I graduate in may and think it sounds like a great way to get exposure to all the different ICU's. Do they take RN's with ADN? How long ...

August 27th in the AM . You?

I got my invitation to interview today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:hpygrp::dncgbby::dancgrp:

I applied for Samford. I just hope I at least get an interview. Good Luck to all!

Congrats! That's good to know because I am headed down the same career path. I love neuro right now and don't want to change but my main goal has always been to become a CRNA. Again, KUDOS! matt

Does UAB RN-BSN program have clinicals? Because Jacksonville State does not.

Thanks alot. It does not sound too appealing. I will probabaly just pick an ICU and stick it out. i guess I could always transfer to another unit if I am not happy. I REFUSE to do homework. I thought the program rotated through all critical care are...

still great...may work there after graduation.

This is my last semester of nursing school and on top of clinicals we pick area to preceptor. I requested CICU but all that was available was neuro. I will be doing 150 hours this semester with a preceptor. At first I was scared to death but now, af...

need help from experienced RNs on how i might maximize my salary and earning potential when i graduate as RN in May. Is it negotiable, do you have to take what they offer? What is the highest youve heard someone start out at? I need to make as much ...

Hey cardiotrans! I am in my last semester at CACC. And I plan to attend JSU for the online step program. And then I plan to go to UAB or Samford for my MNA. Take Care. matt

Just to update. I have had 2 days under my belt and must say that I love it! My preceptor is a great teacher and is well respected on the unit. I know that this will be an invaluable experience. last visit we had a patient come back from surgery with...

A friend of mine's wife works in ICU there and he said their shift diff is $5/hr. she works weekend days I think and they are on 12 hour shifts, I did my clinicals there last semester. Nice facility.

Thanks for the great tips, Elkmnin06, they will be most helpful. Sorry about the buckeyes devastating defeat last night.

As far as hard #s youd need to call JSU, Im not sure. I took nutrition online at the university of alabama but as far as chemistry i am not aware of any online programs mostly because labs are required.

congrats

Sure. jacksonville state university has one. look up Jacksonville State University also UAB University of Alabama School of Nursing at UAB JSU is cheaper and only requires inorganic chem not organic, UAB requires both. And UAB also requires pathophys...

here is the program i was speaking of: Nurse Education Partnership

Heres something to consider.. LPN is 3 semesters and ADN is 5. The classes are exactly the same the first two semesters so its not much easier. I would encourage you to consider applying ADN, if you get into it and decide its too much to go on you ca...

Check with St Vincents.. I belive they started a program that is through Jeff state Community college and you can work for them while you attend nursing school. I think it takes 3 years but if you need to take a slower less painful pace then that mig...

Sounds great. WOW! waiting list is 2 years long? I go to a Comm College here and got in 1st try, guess alabama aint that bad after all....lol. I graduate in may and then I wil begin the 1 year step program for my bachelors which is completly online a...

I think, after your last post, you'd be crazy not to take the uni job. A prophet in his hometown is without honor....which means if they didnt respect you as a tech/nursing student, they won't respect you as a nurse. leave graciously and be happy! ma...
