We've had several threads from everyone saying they were accepted to various schools, but if everyone is willing let's do one big thread for everyone that will be starting anesthesia school this summer or fall. If you don't mind please include where...

Morgiesmom, I too will start at UAB this fall. Congrats! Like you, I am very nervous about making the move from one position that you know to embarking on the unknown. But we'll get through it just like others before us have and others behind us wil...

I also will be going to UAB this fall. I will be doing my clinicals in Birmingham. Do you live in the Birmingham area or will you need to find a place to live. I look forward to meeting you then.

I will be moving to Birmingham, AL to attend UAB's anesthesia program this fall and need to find a place to live. I am looking to buy a house near the campus (atleast within 15-20 driving minutes or closer). If you have any knowledge of good neighb...

Thank you all so much for your advice. We are still looking. My question is....Where are all of the inexpensive homes that are close to the interstate, take less than 15-20 min to get to UAB, have a big yard and nearby park for the dogs and are rea...

Bryan, I am currently living in atlanta, on the northeast side inside the perimeter (chamblee area). I love it here. If you are looking for good experience in either ICU or ER then I suggest you go to Atlanta Medical or Grady. Both have alot of tr...

I too am looking to relocate to B'ham for anesthesia school this fall and would like some help locating a good neighborhood. I want to be within 15-20 minutes or closer of UAB and will need to buy a house. Any suggestions for location would be GREA...

Thank you all so much for your replies. My husband and I are moving from the Atlanta area and know that location is everything when it comes to traffic. We were in B'ham this past weekend and liked the Crestwood area...east of the city and very clo...

MrsSandman, I think you and I have discussed UAB in a PM, but let me tell you again....RELAX. You will do just fine as long as you know the answers to all the WHY questions. UAB was my second of three interviews and was the most relaxing one by far....

I am contemplating getting a PhD/Doctorate sometime in the future after completing a CRNA program. So, my dilemma is...should I attend a MSN or MSNA program? I eventually (much later in my career) think I would like to teach anesthesia/nursing at t...

Anyone accepted to UAB, University of Alabama at Birmingham?

Gump, How do you feel about the program and faculty in general? What do you feel are the positives/negatives about UAB? Do you feel at a disadvantage due to the larger class size? Have you started clinicals yet, and if so how is it? You can PM me ...

UAB'S director, Mr. Williams, was AWESOME! He was VERY laid back and talked alot about things other than school or the interview. Samford's director was nice as well but he was ALL business. I suspect he would be just as likable outside of the cir...

MrsSandman, My interview at UAB went very well. I had heard it was more intense than Samford, but I did not find this to be true. The faculty was very nice, especially the director, he was AWESOME. I did not have any clinical questions at all, it ...

This is an interesting subject. How would one go about approaching an anesthesia group for such a contract? And how does the stipend work and why have I seen some people post that some groups offer this while others do not? Thanks.

I just received notification that I was accepted to Samford in Birmingham, AL! I am so excited! I still have 2 interviews left at UAB and MCG, but it's nice to know I've already been accepted elsewhere. Thank you to everyone on the board for postin...

Congratulations!!!:balloons:

Qwiktofeat, Congratulations to you as well! I interview at UAB on Monday, but I too am leaning toward attending Samford. Which day did you interview at Samford, just thought I might have seen you there? Do you know anyone else that made the cut at...

Did anyone interview at Samford this past week? How did you feel it went? What questions were you asked? Thanks.

Sprout, The school was beautiful, but I did not get a chance to look around as much as I would have liked because the interview lasted from 1230-500pm. I can't say much about the interview process because this was the first interview I have attended...

I was curious if any of you took anything into your interview with you? Like a briefcase or attache case? Did you have any notecards with the questions you wanted to ask and were you able to jot down the answers the interviewers gave? As you can s...

I have just received an invitation to interview at UAB and was wondering if anyone knew anything about the interview process there. How many applicants are interviewed? Is it a group or individual interview? Is it mainly clinical or personal quest...

Hmm..I never specified a site on my application, or atleast I don't recall doing so. I wonder what that will mean for me? I would only want B'ham. Maybe I should call the school to find out.

Congratulations on your interview as well!! I am hoping it will be more of a personal interview rather than tons of clinical questions. I have also applied to Samford and Medical College of Georgia, and you?
