UAB anyone

[squrrldog]

I was wondering if anyone out there has applied to UAB. Does anyone know when interviews are held? I heard that they will be later this year compared to last year.

I was told 3-4 weeks. I hope it is less. I hate waiting!!!

So had my interview today...it went okay. Very very laid back. Good luck to everyone who interviewed.

The mobile component interview was tough. Lots of clinical questions. How does everyone else feel about it?

For those of you who applied to the Birmingham component, we were told this week in class that they would be sending out letters the end of this week...so start looking early next week! In our case, a thick packet was a yes and I heard a no was a thin envelope. Good luck to everyone.

CONGRATULATIONS DeDeRN1!!!

Here's hoping I'll be joining you! (I interview Feb. 2)

Sorry if I missed this in an earlier post, but how long from the time you interviewed until you got your acceptance notification?

Congratulations again!

Thanks and good luck to you. I interviewed on Wed and received a certified letter on Saturday.

DeDe, I also got my letter on Saturday. Are you already near Birmingham or will you be relocating?

I interviewed yesterday at the Tuscaloosa site. Did anyone else interview there? I thought it was very short interview. I don't know what to think, can't wait to find out the final verdict.

Misty,

I will be relocating from Georgia. What about you?

I am interviewing at the Tuscaloosa component at the end of jan. Nervous, but Ecstatic! Everyone please share how the interviews go

I just moved to this area so I asked a million questions during my first visits. From what I gather each of the sites (except the Birmingham area) will accept 5-10 students, depending on their projected needs in the next couple years. Each hospital is hoping that the students will want to work at their hospitals when school is over, so they plan accordingly. They do accept more than needed so they and you have options. For example: last year Tuscaloosa had 8 SRNA's in clinical, but the hospital anticipated they could only hire 5 CRNA's in Dec.

Hope that helps some of ya'll.
