Wishing everyone good luck on their AMNP interview. I am in the AMNP Cohort # 2. I finished phase 1 last May. The program is challenging but well worth it Again, best of luck! FYI about our class...we had five males. Most students were in their 20's and several had just finished thier BS. We also had several in thier early to mid thirties and four were over 40. All students that finished phase 1 passed NCLEX!! Again, good luck!

I took all my biology (Anatomy, Physiology, & Micro), chemistry,(inorganic & organic) and nutrition pre-reqs at UAB and made an A in all of them. I would recommend taking chemistry at UAB. I attended all of the classes and labs and didn't get behind and made very high A's in the classes. The key is not getting behind.

I hope the textbook info is available soon. They should be sending out more emails soon. Good luck with the housing...I know that has to be frustrating!

I think you can apply for the graduate plus loan if the others do not cover the total cost. I think you can apply for the grad plus through UAB. Not a 100 percent sure though.

I checked with someone I know in the BSN program. They do not require a specific stethoscope. He said most in the class purchased either the Littman Clasic S.E.M or the Littman Cardiology III.

I think they are going to send something out soon about uniforms, etc. I will check around to see if I can find out anything about the stethoscopes.

not bad at all...thanks for the info!

I hope they are reasonable! As far as the shoes, if I were you, I would give it a try!

I am sooo ready to get started as well. Have any of you taken care of your uniforms yet?

For 502L, I signed up for Talley (43319). The other classes just gave me one option. 501 and 504 with Hataway, 612 with Slick, and 614 with McHaney. Have you received any more info in the mail? I have not.

We have to have medical clearance before we can register for the clinical courses. I sent the office an email asking if we could go ahead an register even if we have not received the official acceptance letter. She advised me that we have to have medical clearance. Since the system lets you register for 612 and 614, it must be a requirement for the clinical courses only.

I have to wait until 3PM to register. I will let you know what happens.

rachel, thanks for the great info! concerning the footwear, can we opt for a clog style shoe? you mentioned that the nursing central software could probably be installed on an iphone or any other phone with a pda format. does the pda they “recommend” require any type data package in order to operate? if it does, i will go the iphone route! if it doesn’t, i will get the pda and keep my current phone….trying to make the $$ stretch as far as possible! any survival tips? i know the program will be intense! also, have they given the first class any insight into how the residency program will work. thanks again for all the info.

Same here...can't wait!

Don't know for sure if we will need one. There is software that can be installed on the PDA such as Pharmacology. I guess it allows students to access the data at their fingertips during clinicals
