  2. University of Alabama Nursing

    Snickett replied to YGPHNM's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I didn't mean to disturb you, but I was referring to the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, not South

  3. University of Alabama Nursing

    Snickett replied to YGPHNM's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Yes it is that bad. A friend of mine went to school there for his basics; he needed an "override" to register for an anatomy class - just like every other nursing student, when he showed up with...

  4. University of Alabama Nursing

    Snickett replied to YGPHNM's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I know several people who attended UA. My advice, don't do it. There are several other programs in West and Central Alabama that will do a much better job of preparing you to be a nurse, and the...

  5. Tossing around a move to Alabama...any suggestions on where to live?

    Snickett replied to justme1972's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Lots of great places to live in Alabama, but stay away from Tuscaloosa- except for football. The crime rate is on the rise, housing costs are horrible, and DCH is the ONLY (acute care) place to work...

  6. Alabama license renewal for new grads

    Snickett replied to Skrawberri's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I just renewed - also a May 2008 Grad. You need 16 hours, BUT 8 are specifically required. The 8 required are ALL online at the ABN website, and are very boring. They take about 4.5 hours to view...

  7. University of South Alabama Accelerated MSN WARNING!

    Snickett replied to luvthahustle's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Buyer Beware. ALWAYS read for yourself. If you look at the program and course catalogs and the schedule of classes, you can figure out how long it will take you to complete a program. As for the...

  8. BSN vs. RN Salary

    Snickett replied to busylizzy's topic in Alabama Nursing

    An "Associate's Degree of Nursing" is a college degree. I gon't know of any organization that will hire a BSN into a "higher position" to "begin with".....sorry to disappoint, but every nurse will...

  10. Would you like nursing unions in Alabama?

    Snickett replied to fronkey bean's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Yes, and we too cn have 25% unemployment like France, or drive to Canada for elective surgeries like organ transplants, or wait 8-12 weeks for a hospital bed like England........oh, yeah, since when...

  11. RN job outside of hospitals

    Snickett replied to Neuro101's topic in Alabama Nursing

    May I suggest returning to college and training to be a Stock Broker or Lawyer. With all due respect, you are burned out with nursing. One should NEVER be in a career for respect or pay, because...

  12. getting into a program

    Snickett replied to weederow's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I am not sure where you live, or if you are willing to relocate/live on-campus, but the University of West Alabama in Livingston has an ADN Program that is fairly easy to get into. They base...

  13. navy nurse

    Snickett replied to Mr. Maverick's topic in General Nursing

    Right now, all Active Duty Branches must have a BSN to be commissioned as a nurse. The Army Reserve, however, still will commission you with an ADN, but I believe you must complete your BSN in a set...

  14. To Bham Nurses....

    Snickett replied to busylizzy's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Does anyone know what knid of sign on bonuses B'ham hospitals are

  15. Would you like nursing unions in Alabama?

    Snickett replied to fronkey bean's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Sorry about the typo- wish it were 1-1 pt ratio; it is REALLY 1 RN; 1/2 LPN; 1 PCA for 8 med surge pts.......fingers are all thumbs sometimes, please forgive, but I still believe that the quality and...

  16. Would you like nursing unions in Alabama?

    Snickett replied to fronkey bean's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Wow, I didn't know the patients in Alabama were receiving less than quality care? Last year my father spent 3 weeks in Baptist Health South CVICU, and I assure you he received EXCELLENT care. I was...

    Snickett replied to fronkey bean's topic in Alabama Nursing

  18. Would you like nursing unions in Alabama?

    Snickett replied to fronkey bean's topic in Alabama Nursing

    What exactly is "the South's resistance to

  19. Would you like nursing unions in Alabama?

    Snickett replied to fronkey bean's topic in Alabama Nursing

    If the Unions' priority was Nurse-Pt Ratio and other safety concerns, then why are they not here in Alabama advocating for that now instead of wanting to establish a union first? There is no law...

  20. Would you like nursing unions in Alabama?

    Snickett replied to fronkey bean's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Personally, I don't need to pay anyone to speak for me. As far as pay, the union hospitals in California pay twice what non-union hospitals in Alabama pay......but then housing and other COL is more...

  21. Salary questions for AL nurses

    Snickett replied to 12breakfree's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I have read alot of posts from some very unhappy nurses. If you are THIS miserable, then why not quit? Go drive a fork lift, or work at Wal-Mart, or go to med

  22. Which is more marketable: FNP or ACNP?

    Snickett posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have a question, and I hope this is the appropriate forum for it. I am currently working towards my BSN, so I have time to think, but was considering continuing on towards a NP cert. I love...

    Snickett replied to dzadzey's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Union Bad, Me Speak for Self Good

  24. Partial Birth Abortions--NOT an abortion debate

    Snickett replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    I have a cousin who was a OB doc for 25+ years, he told me that he has NEVER seen a medically necessary late term abortion. When Hitler did this, it was genocide, when a woman does this it is her...

  25. DCH Healthcare?

    Snickett replied to classygal's topic in Alabama Nursing
