Hello everyone, I'm finishing up my application for CRNA school at UAB due by October. I've been toying with the idea ever since I became a nurse a couple of years ago, but have decided that this is really what I want to do. I was just looking around...

Update: I passed the CCRN...app is submitted so we shall see

Well that's awesome for your friend! That's the plan...pass CCRN and get on the interview trail!

150 on each is the average score of accepted students...I've heard of people making less and more and getting in

I'm looking to apply to UAB's CRNA school and I have the following stats: Nursing GPA (last 60 hours): 3.85 Science and Chemistry GPA: 4.0 GRE: 150 quantitative/ 152 verbal Experience: 2 years critical care/ surgical intensive care I have precepted s...

Hello everyone! I just had a couple of quick questions. I'll be applying for the fall of 2014 at UAB with a concentration of acute care/ RNFA and a backup choice of adult gerontology acute care or FNP. I can't decide on the backup. I have a last 60 h...

I was wondering about the RN mobility programs at the schools in the state of Alabama? I am really looking at JSU and AUM. I have heard that JSU really isn't bad at all but have not heard about AUM. I am going to need A's in these classes if possible...

I appreciate the info!...I have a good friend who is going to help me get on SICU. I hear they like that experience. I will shadow because I do have the opportunity. I am also volunteering with an anesthesiologist and a family practice MD. Do you hap...

I will be finishing my ADN shortly and have managed to keep a 3.5 GPA in my nursing classes thus far. I am planning to attend JSU RN to BSN mobility program as I hear it is very informative. I have a friend there now that said its a breeze to make A'...

I will go ahead and start this post for people applying to Jeff State Nursing Program Fall 2010. I know there are people out there with questions...I know I have a ton myself...I guess we can start with the amounts of points people are applying with ...

Words of advice to everyone from someone who just finished their first semester at shelby: don't worry about all the med forms and background checks...there will be time and the first day is used for stuff like that. Read your book, read your book, r...

The background screen is paid for in class and conducted right before clinicals...it is done throug verified credentials....they are required to get it back in 5 days so you can attend clinicals. The ABON is regulations I believe. Check your forms yo...

I might be wrong, but I think we have to print and save a copy of the ABON rules and regs...I think that what they meant by signing it is an agreement on the paper where you had to initial so many times. I think that was it but I could easily be wron...

A friend and classmate discovered that barnes and noble has our exact books available to order for around $500...no e-books...but all physical texts...I dont know anything about the fin. aid though...sorry!

everyone should have gotten the e-mail that said Aug. 16 would be the earliest you can get books...btw...I think that 2 of our 3 classes have stuff already posted that you can look at on blackboard...

They are late with everything thus far...my money says its like a week before that we have access to our books...

I will be a first semester nursing student in the fall, and I was wondering how my misdemeanors in the past will impact my background check for clinicals? I have gotten tickets twice for driving with suspended license and they are about 3- 4 years ol...

I just looked at the form and saw something that made me feel a little better. My background check form actually categorizes everything you could be barred for... like violence stuff, drug stuff, sexual offender stuffl and things that prevent you fro...

I assume that I will have to explain it, but I can imagine that they see it a bit. There seems to be much discussion on these types of things.

That is when applying for a job with your hospital? I am not sure yet if I will even have to have another background check because I had one with the ABI (Alabama Bureau of Investigation) and the FBI for my BA in Education a year ago. I was just tryi...

I'm excited!everyone look for each other!

I just finished my vaccines today!I'm done with getting needles in the arm!yay!

It would have been nice to get them a little early...It would only make it easier but it doesn't seem to be an option....as for the physical and titers...its a heck of a lot better to get revaccinated if your insurance covers it...a few shots but no ...

Well that's a relief...I'm still good to cancel my physical...so we just have to get a piece of paper signed that says we can be a nurse?
