  1. UAB MSN fall 2017

    I haven't received a letter yet. I was a student and was an employee at UAB at one time. Same BlazerID. And it shows me under the Psych CRNP program, and I now have an advisor listed.
  2. UAB MSN fall 2017

    Yeah, BlazerNET shows me as being in the MSN Psych CRNP program now. Good luck, everyone!
  3. UAB MSN fall 2017

    I applied, too. I haven't noticed a change on BlazerNet yet.
  4. Questions / UAB

    I applied to the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner track for Fall 2017 and did not choose a second choice, either.
  5. A safe nurse to pt ratio?

    I work at a UHS facility on a 35 bed adult unit. Usually there are two nurses for 35 patients--3 nurses per 35 patients on a good day when staffing doesn't suck.
  6. What was your first Nursing job?

    I graduated in Aug. 2015. I began working as a Charge Nurse at a UHS mental health hospital in Sept. 2015. I'm already looking at other jobs. The pay is not worth the stress of staffing and administration.
  7. Jacksonville state nursing

    JSU's College of Nursing no longer accept students just by GPA alone. They take in consideration your ACT score, too. In the past fall semester, a 3.55-3.6 GPA has been the last accepted GPA before ACT scores were also required. I believe they do 70%...
  8. What is a "passing grade" for your nursing program?

    My program requires a 69.5 to pass a nursing course.
  9. Nursing school schedule

    I'm in a BSN program. Every semester is generally the same. The first month is lecture, M-F from 8:15am-2:30pm. On the second month, clinicals start. Our schedule then changes to Monday lecture 8:15am-2:30pm, Clinical on Tuesday and Wednesday, Thursd...
  10. JSU Fall 2014 Applicants?

    I was admitted for Fall 2013. I got my letter on July 17th. Good luck! The program is intense, but it's passable. FYI, the last GPA admitted last year, if I remember correctly, was a 3.69. I'm not sure how important the GPA is now that they require a...
  11. Failing....? Your school's policy?

    My college only requires a 69.5 to pass a nursing course. Clinical is either P/F. If you fail clinical, you fail the course. You are only allowed to fail two classes. You have to take each failed class alone in one semester. You must also finish the ...
  12. When does/did your semester end and how did you do?

    Congrats! My first nursing semester ended on the 6th. Here were my grades: Foundations of Nursing--B Pharmacology--B Health Assessment--B
  13. Jacksonville State University BSN Come In Here

    Sorry for the late reply. But, the CPR card has to be an American Heart Association BLS for the Healthcare Provider or an American Red Cross (can't remember which type). However, I think they are lenient on the CPR types. They allow you to get your C...
  14. Jacksonville State University BSN Come In Here

    Be sure to get your CPR appointment set-up ASAP. It takes forever to get your card. Also, get your immunizations ASAP. Some of those can be time consuming, especially TB and Hep. B. It you need any help, feel free to PM or email me. Also, if you need...
  15. Jacksonville State University BSN Come In Here

    I am finishing up my first semester at JSU's nursing program. It's not really difficult, just time-consuming. In my pre-reqs, I made all A's. My grades so far is this term are: Foundations 89, Pharmacology 88, and Assessment 84. Test questions are tr...
  16. How do clinicals work?

    First semester, I learned how to be a CNA, basically.
  17. I got the scholarship!!!!

    Congrats!
  18. I can relate! Luckily, the term is almost over.
  19. What does your countdown look like?

    6 more days of class! :) I'm ready for the semester to be over!
  20. Concept Maps

    They are time-consuming! And repetitive. I'm doing one now for Foundations. Anyone want to critique it? :)
  21. How old were you when you started Nursing School?

    Started a BSN program this week at age 21. :)
  22. Class of 2015

    My orientation is Tuesday. Besides college tuition and fees, I've had to pay $800 for books, $750 for ATI access, $75 for scrubs, $100 for equipment, $45 for shoes, $69 for CPR, $42 for background check, $15 for a clicker device, and $50 for malpract...
  23. I made the decision back in 2012. I am currently starting a BSN program. I will graduate in December 2015, and I hope to be starting a FNP program at UA via distance education by August 2016.
  24. Resume to win over a PCT job

    Hi all, This is my first post at AN! I am starting a BSN program next week. I really want to obtain a PRN PCT position at a nearby hospital to gain as much experience as possible before I graduate in two years. I've applied to about three hospitals f...
  25. Resume to win over a PCT job

    I just started the program. I will start clinical in September. I have no healthcare experience, which I think has the most negative impact. At two hospitals, I was refereed by a nurse and listed them as a reference. Thanks for your tips. I will defi...
