When do they offer interviews? Who all here applied? I applied to the Mobile Component. I am applying to 3 schools this year and UAB-Mobile is the hardest out of the three programs I am applying to. I have a 3.53 GPA, 1030 on the GRE, 4.0 Graduate GP...

Who cares about what other people think. A few years ago I stood in front of my nursing class and told the class I was going to be a crna. The haters were among the group, same response within my ICU family, and from this board a time or two. They al...

I wouldn't appeal it only because CRNA schools are very stubborn. You don't want to make a bad name for yourself next year. Believe it or not, you might be surprised to know the references one uses could be the very reason you don't get in...people ...
My Stats: 3.56 GPA, CCRN, 2 years of ICU experience, 1,000 GRE, 4.5 Writing, 24 hours towards my MSN with a 4.0 Graduate GPA. A CRNA school I previously interviewed (and told during the initial interview,I was one of their top picks for the incoming...

UAB is a no for me....The Mobile Component only accepted 2 students! Ouch! And may not even take students next year out of Mobile. The interview was poorly set up and they scheduled all 6 interviewees at the same time, 1515. However, the interviews d...
May I asked when did you find out about OLOL? I interviewed there as well and from what I was told, this is there last week of interviews and letters will be mailed out in the weeks to follow (Mid February). Congrats!

msrn25, are you from Mississippi? If so, where? I did not apply yet to LSU because I am still in a statistics class and have not received my final transcript from them. I also have an interview with Our Lady of the Lake next month. How was your inter...

My letter came this past Thursday. I interview January 25, 2010 in the afternoon at the Spring Hill Hospital in Mobile....in the letter, it says they will notify me within 24 hours of their decision. Very nerve-racking. I will post a follow-up of wha...
Hello, My manager told us today in the break-room that techs are luxury to "our" ICU. We only have two techs Monday through Friday 7 A to 3 PM with NO weekend or night coverage for 32 beds. We have two Icu's and this is tech coverage for both of them...

Received this email today: "The UAB Nurse Anesthesia Program has sent out letters to all but the Mobile, Pensacola and Tuscaloosa Applicants. If you have any questions regarding your letter please call the program office at xxx-xxx-xxxxx" So ya'll k...

That is correct, I wish I remembered the program in more depth. Basically, they will pay up to 4500 a year for two years. Then you are obligated to work in Mississippi for two years. ANY WHERE IN THE STATE! For every year they pay, you work a year in...

I agree with all the above plus: The bacteria blocks the neurotransmitter sites in your cardiovascular system that control blood pressure; Levophed (norepi) infused is like throwing a handful of darts at a dartboard and hope at least one molecule of ...

"I've been told that I'm not a team player, and that people in general do not like me because I'm aggressive and independant, too focused on the details, and have 'an authoratative tone' when discussing concepts." Sounds like my first Peer eval in th...

Sounds like you did one hell of a job. What did the monitor show rhythm wise? Obviously you are on heparin for an acute coronary syndrome? I wonder what his EF was? Systolic or Diastolic Dysfunction? Since the cardiologist signed off, I amusing he re...

A routine use of Levophed is 40-100 mcg/min in some patients? WOW! Where are ya'll getting this information to validate it as policy? And if you use 150 mcg/min of norepi, what is ya'lls concentration? Our policy states a max of 30 mcg/min and if an...
I studied the weekend before the test (tested on tuesday, watched two DVD's a day for 3 days), study just the Laura DVD's and did about 300 questions from the CCRN test book bank and passed with 110 out of 125. I have been only a nurse for 13 months ...

I check the mail every day. I haven't heard anything yet. I even check my online application to see if it would show up on the internet first. Good luck guys. We should here this month if we get interviews.

Quality of the education? That is totally up to the individual. Both programs are good. I work with USA, William Carey, and Southern Mississippi graduates. Like any program, some students excel in the work field while others seem to barely get by. I ...
J Deep 23, You either choose CRNA or AA. You do not have to be an AA to then become a CRNA. AA is governed by the AMA while CRNA's are part of nursing. Since you are working on your BSN you should get your CRNA and not the AA. Also, AA do not work IC...

JBrock, I don't think students consider the number admitted as to whether or not one should turn in an application...most students rely on the location of the campus. My point was Houston is a VERY large metropolitan so you would think they would ha...
