I'm a little late...but i'll still respond! I am currently a senior at UAMS and I also work there as a CCA (Clinical Care Assistant). It's a nursing student position but we basically do the same work that a tech does. If you get with the right nurses, most will allow you to do any skills that come up while you are working and if any interesting procedures are happening you're allowed to go watch. Pay is $11/hr. Arkansas Children's Hospital has a similar position but they are called PCPs (Patient Care Partners), I'm not sure about the pay with them though!

good luck! this is similar to what i`m taking right now: sociology statistics o. chem anatomy physiology i`m doing pretty good, all A`s with a B in anatomy & a B in physio. its all about time management &commitment. let us know how it works out!

at my school a&p are 2 different classes. i am currently taking them both at the same time &its really not that bad. A LOT of the information i learn in anatomy is then learned in physio. &vice versa. also, (for me) the classes cover the same subject @the time same time. right now both classes are on the nervous system. it is a lot of material but definetly doable!!

i got my letter today!!!! i start the BSN program at UAMS in may!!! i cant wait!!!

i am in california but i applied to University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. From what ive heard it`s not too competitive and the school has a great rep. also, i was told that last year they didn`t turn anyone down who met the requirements. they only accept BSN students without a previous degree in the summer though.

18 when i started college, 20 when i decided on nursing, i`m 21 now and hopfully will start NS this summer!

mine is 3.32 hopefully it's good enough!! that would be pretty nice if they accepted everyone! that would never happen out here in CA. it's waaaay to competitive!! i'm just really hoping that they don't make us wait all the way until APRiL to know! when i called to check my application status the lady was like "everything look good, just make sure you do well this semester..." LOL hopefully she was hinting im in!?

i know when i read your post i was like OMG FiNALLY someone applying to UAMS!! late march/early april is SOOOOOOO long!! in `06 they sent out acceptance letters on mid FEB!! so i was kinda hoping for that!! o well...do you know how many applicant they accept!? hopefully my GPA is good enough!!

i also applied to UAMS for summer 2008!! im going crazy waiting to know if i got in or not! it's a little odd that they start in the summer, but i hear it's a really good school. i live in CA and our spring semester ends on may 23, and UAMS' BSN program starts on the 28th, so i'll only have 5 days to move!! good luck & hope u get in!! maybe i'll see you there!

im in A&P rite now...im not using the coloring book but i found a useful website: www.getbodysmart.com its really helpful!!

no this should be doable. fall 2007 i had 19 credits and now i have 20! just make sure you will actually devote time to studying!

yea fall semester was some work...but not too bad. for spring `08 im taking 20 units (5 classes) and then i`ll be done with pre-reqs!!:balloons: i don`t have any kids and i only work on the weekends so it works out for me! hopefully i can get into the program of my choice! good luck!

hey everyone i`m taking organic chem/biochem starting jan 14!! i`ve heard mixed things about the class so hopefully it won`t be too bad!!

anatomy physiology chem sociology statistics a full load but i`m ready!!

microbiology - A college algebra - A philosophy - A english comp II - A nutrition - A child development/psych -A 6 classes/19 units and all A's!! i`m trying to get done with pre req's ASAP!! good luck to everyone!!!
