The clinicals are all over the place. Last rotation I was at UAMS and this time I'll be at St. Vincents. Some are at S. Vincents North and even some at Saline Memorial. Most of the peds are done at Childrens and the pysch ones are all over Little ...

Right now I'm in the first half of the fall. We have classes 2 days a week (Mon and Friday) that ususally run from 9-3 and either 1 12 hour clinical on one other day or 2 6 hour clinicals split over two days. Most people get the 12 clincal so they ...

I am 48 and already have a degree. My husband has a good paying job and I filled out the FAFSA for the first time for school this summer. I was amazed to find out I got Stafford, sub and unsub and one other governement one (I can't remember the nam...

I think that the health risk is always there, no matter what the age. Granted, it definitely is higher the older you get. I try to stay in good health and hope that in nursing there are so many different areas to work that if I couldn't work 12 hou...

If you go to the region tab there is a board for Georgia. There are quite a few Kennesaw students on there and they can give you some info. Good luck to you!

I just started nursing school in May and I'm 48. I would say there are around 10-15 people over 45 in my class of 180. I'm really enjoying it and I think age gives me some perspective some of the others don't have. Good luck to you and have fun wit...

I went back and forth trying to decide between UALR and UAMS. I also already have a degree. I will start at UAMS this summer (actually in a couple of weeks.) UAMS does not have an accelerated program, but they do have an honors program. If you get...

About the chem, the one that UAMS requires is Intro to organic. Now you may have to take Chem 1 as a pre-req depending on the school, but Intro to Organic is nothing like Chem 1. The intro to organic is more naming and recognizing compounds -not ne...

Did you all get an email today asking you to reconfirm your attendance to the program? It just seemed a little strange- after all I already sent them the $85.

I was hoping someone that knows more would answer, but I'll tell you what little I know. My family and I moved to Cabot about 3 years ago. It is about 30-45 minutes north of Little Rock. We like it a lot and have found it to be a good place for our ...

Congrats to you!!! Best of luck!

I'm 48 and I'll be starting at UAMS (in Little Rock) this May. I'll be getting a BSN. I've heard that the job market around Little Rock has slowed down but people are still getting jobs it just seems to be taking longer. I see you are in Western ...

Sorry to hear about your news. Maybe this will make you feel better. I was accepted into the accelerated option at UALR but I've decided to go to UAMS instead. I'll be calling Monday and declining. Hopefully that will open up a spot for one of yo...

I am not currently a UAMS student but after changing my mind several times I have decided to start there this May.I know about 5-10 peole who started there last year and so I'll answer with what I know. Most of my friends are happy with the program....

It looks like they have posted the list for one of the summer courses under the bookstore link.

I guess they missed that book deadline. All this waiting is making me crazy.

Congrats!!

Has anyone heard anything back after sending in their money? I don't know if we are going to get some type of confirmation or not?

I just wondered if any one else has had this problem and has any advice on how to handle it. I received my acceptance to UAMS. They require money and the acceptance by March 6. UALR is my first choice (just because it is cheaper, a semester shorte...

Thanks for the advice. I am now leaning toward UAMS instead, so I did go ahead, and send my check and acceptance in and if I do decide to still go to UALR I'll just lose the deposit money.

Hey Ben It's good to see you back on here. I just readded the costs and came up with about 15000, including books and all. If you have better info let me know. I was all set to go to UALR-they have an accelerated option that will let me finish a se...

Congrats!! I'm happy for you!

Congrats!!! Several of us got letters but they are listed under the other UAMS thread.

I just recieved my acceptance letter from UAMS today!! I'm still probably going to UALR, but it is nice to know I got in. Good luck to everyone waiting.

Have a good time!
