What is a good hurst score for the q reviews??

Hello! I recently found out that I was accepted into UAB's NP program! I was wondering who else will be attending UAB in the spring for their master's.

Has anybody heard from uab about being accepted into any np program? I'm getting anxious!!

I was able to register too! What r u taking? I'm taking patho and issues.

Oops. I'm from Alabama, so I was like, I'm not paying 1000/hr. Sorry about that. Yea uab is ridiculous for out of state.

Uab is not 1000 a credit hour....its 631 for the first hour and 430 for each hour after that.

Starting New grad pay**

Brookwood starting new grad is the same as everywhere else in the area. Benefits are good. The 401k matching is 50% for up to 3% of contributions. They pay a lot toward student loans, (I want to say say up to 25,000) but that could have changed. They...

I would read NANN's articles about Necrotizing Entercolitis, Feedings (types and techniques), and respiratory problems that a newborn can have (pphn, bpd, etc).

I've finished my drug screen and background check and still have a hold. Im thinking I may have to call to get those removed. Got my physical today, so I think all I left to do is register!

I think online is becoming the norm for many masters programs in nursing. I will be attending UABs NNP program and it is all online except for clinicals, of course. This allows me to work full-time. I don't think the education is worse because it is ...

If you want to work with neuro patients in the hospital, you should go the acute care adult nurse practitioner route or Peds acute care nurse practitioner route. You would have to choose of you wanted to do adult or Peds, they aren't done together. F...

I thought the merestein was easier for me to read personally. They are both great, but I preferred merestein over core curriculum

Congrats! I'm doing neonatal np. That's weird that you haven't received your acceptance. You might want to call them, they only give u 10 days to accept. I'm in Birmingham!

Hey! Congrats! I started in the nicu in July as a new grad. I absolutely love it. I love working in a critical care setting as well, and I don't feel like I've given that up at all. Here are some things that helped me during my orientation: 1) read a...

What about a primary Ped np? It's not a hospital setting, but the program might be an easier transition since you are from a nicu.

I got accepted!!! So excited!!!

Ah ok good to know I'm not the only one! It said we would know 30 days after the Sept 7th deadline..but I went to uab for undergrad...so I figured it might be a little later, but its November!! What program did you apply for?

Hello, I'm applying to an NNP program for Spring 2013. I wanted to know if there was anyone else who applied to NP school soon after finishing their BSN. If so, did you get in with your lack of job experience? I currently work in a NICU and will hav...

I think that is a lot for lpn school. I have my RN-BSN from a highly ranked university amd it wasn't nearly that much. So with that said, I would look into becoming an RN over an LPN. Also, where I work, we are kinda phasing out LPNs ( I don't know h...

Congrats! I started Monday! This is also my first job out of school It's so overwhelming and exciting at the same time!!

Samford is a good school also. My preceptor is my last semester was a Samford graduate and she was great. I don't really know much about how they do their program. One thing to consider may be that they are a lot more expensive than UAB because they ...

I'm a graduate of UAB. It is an awesome school!! UAB is in the heart of downtown and close to so many hospitals. UAB hospital is a great teaching facility with magnet status. I feel one of the great things about UAB is that they teach the why we do e...

I talked to my director at work today and she thought it was a great idea for me to apply for spring. I'm applying to a program that requires 2 years of experience before clinicals. I will be able to take the other courses in the program one at a tim...

Thanks for the advice. By the time I'm done with the program I will have almost 4 years of experience as a nicu RN. If I do a DNP, even more. My gpa is not as high, but I did graduate with honors. I have to write an essay as well, so ill hopefully ...
