UAB does not have an accelerated BSN, they do have an accelerated Master's in Clinical Nurse Leader. I would not recommend this program.

Yes, I plan to work after the first year.

I am enjoying the program. It is very, very, VERY intense.

I have a medium top someone can have. I wore it one semester (5 times).

I did the FAFSA online last week not even sure if I wanted a loan. UAB has already received it and approved it. It only took a week. Part of it is subsidized and part is not. I still don't know if I'll accept it, but it is there if I need it. I was surprised how fast it was processed. http://main.uab.edu/Sites/students/32619/ Did you get the email from Joy Deupree saying that we would get an email every day this week with info about the program?

I hope there is no specification. I bought one last year. I'm really getting antsy for more info!

I called Le Joy and the tops are $16 and the UAB patch is $4. Not too bad.

No. That is a good idea though. I may go by LaJoy's Friday after I get off work. Wonder how much uniforms will cost?? I bought some solid white athletic shoes for clinicals when I was at Jeff St. I only wore them 6 times. I may try to get away with wearing them to UAB.

Someone GAVE me a Tungsten E today! I hope it will work with the software. I would love to get started with buying books. Do you know where you will live yet?

I was able to register for the other classes even tho I don't have medical clearance yet. Go figure. Hopefully, I can get that all taken care of Thursday. I am ready to get starated too!

polskablondie did you get your medical stuff taken care of yet?

Yes, thank you Rachel! If you or any of your classmates want to sell book, please let me know.

Makes sense. I won't get medical clearance for Dr appt is not until next week. Rachel...another question if you don't mind. What is the software that is required for the PDA. I just bought a new phone and have 15 days to return it. I can just get a phone that the softwares works on.

bama and polska, Were you guys able to register? I'm on Blazernet right now and I could only register for 612 and 614.

Thanks for all the info Rachel!! Would you be interested in selling any of your books?

Like everywhere else, it is tough times at UAB. After working there 12 years, I am losing my job next month due to a contract not renewing. I have heard they have a hiring freeze for support positions, but I'm not sure. I work on the university side rather than the hospital so I can't speak for what goes on there. I was in the part-time night program at JS and I did not like it. It was very unorganized with lots of drama! I decided to leave JS at the beninning of last summer to get my prereq for the AMNP at UAB. It was a gamble because I did not know if I would be accepted into UAB. It was a very, very hard decision to make. UAB will cost more, but it is about the same lenght of time. Also with a master's I could teach in the future. So in the end, I'm glad I made the decision to leave JS.

I don't attend Jeff State anymore. I work at UAB and live in Trussville.

not sure if i was successful at sending a private mes... my # is 913-2141

Sure!

I took one a year or so ago. Since I haven't used it (thank God) I may retake the class offered during our orientation. I think the letter said the CPR is on Friday May 8th in the morning.

A PDA?? Seriously? I wonder why. That is all I need; another gadget!

I'm very excited!! I live in Trussville about 20 miles from UAB. However, I work at UAB School of Public Health which is next door to the Nursing School. I started getting my vaccinations last week. I have had most of them but have to get the 2-step TB skin test and the 2nd MMR. I wish we could get a list of books so I could start looking online for used ones. Have you decided where you will live?

I will send you a private message.

$20 for both?

I have a Jeff State nursing uniform if anyone is interested. I wore the top 5 times to clinicals and I have never worn the jacket. They are both mediums.
