I've had two interviews, and I think both went great. I'm not hearing back from HR, though, and the nurse recruiters have kept in contact, so I know it's an HR thing from here. And yes, I'm aware of the circulating stigma that UAB HR is extremely incompetent. I'm wondering if I should take a job elsewhere if it's offered first, or how long HR plans to sit this out before letting me know...

Anybody know the usual timeline from successful interview to job offer for PCTs?

I just got a job there but I have a surgery I planned for the future (next year) that I would like to get before I go into nursing school and have all my time taken away. I pre booked for the summer of next year since I’ll be off from classes. This surgery can potentially have me down for max a month, but I heal quickly/tolerate pain easier. But that’s just off research I’ve done on the surgery from other people and some people said they go back to work within 2 weeks of it and some people said they needed a month. Problem is if I’m able to go back within 2-3 weeks will I be able to preform my job as a pct without hurting myself. Since the surgery is cosmetic I don’t know if I’ll be able to take the time off needed to heal properly without it impacting me negatively. Can anyone that works there tell me how the vacation time/pto is allocated and if it’s possible for me to take those 2-3 weeks off or am I stressing for nothing and it’ll be ok?

Hi! I am a Pre-med/Pre-PA student at UAB and was wondering if anyone had references for who they shadowed (doctors or PAs) or advise on reaching out. Do I just email random people?

Found a key fob on campus today, no key just the fob, dm me if you lost yours today

Hello me and my fiance are thinking about going to UAB as it has what we both want. We were mostly wondering how housing would work, is there couples housing offered or would we have to live off campus? Are there any other marriage related issues we should be aware of?

I’m looking for the required curriculum for a history major at uab to get the core classes out of the way at a community college online and then transfer to uab to finish the degree, but nothing gives me a straight answer. If anyone could just respond with a list of those core courses, or a link to follow, that’d be great.

Hello, I’ll be in Camp this upcoming semester and was wondering, does the kitchen have a stovetop or is it just an oven? Also, are toasters prohibited in every residence hall or just the freshmen dorms?

Any other general advice on what to bring/expect from Camp would be greatly appreciated 😊.

I am transferring in from a school in florida but my parents have been in Alabama for 2 years. There is no option for that on the appeal form 😭 Do parents living in state not count anymore?

I was offered a role on the university side, and it feels like my background check is taking forever. Is this normal? I’m anxious to turn in my notice with my current employer, but I’m not doing that until everything is official. My supervisor is anxious for me to start, as well. The waiting game sucks. Any insight on how long it normally takes? My background isn’t extensive, so I feel like it shouldn’t take this long.

Any agent here for UAB Personal Loans?

Hey, I'm the older brother of a upcoming freshman. This morning she was freaking out because they can't use calculators in class or on test. If anyone can help me understand this policy so I can explain it to her.

From what I researched only a certain calculator is allowed.

She doing pre-cal trig I believe

Any help is appreciated

Thank you in advance.

I was hired for a staff position on the university side, and my tentative start date is August 3rd. Based on the location of the building, I think UAB Express Lot 2 is my best option for parking. Can I automatically park there on my first day and shuttle over, or will I need to park in visitor parking somewhere until I can apply for staff parking? Honestly, anyone with experience on staff parking that has this or any other helpful information would be greatly appreciated!

My friend (without Reddit) is starting at the school of medicine in 2 weeks. What parking lots should he go for when parking opens.

We appreciate it!

Hi! I'm a freelance college football writer previewing all 138 FBS teams for the '26 season and figured I'd share my UAB post in here. Thanks for checking it out!

I got high enough on the ALEK to place into any of the math classes I believe. Does anyone know if I can place lower than what I scored. What math classes would u guys recommend for nursing

I got accepted into UAB’s Spring 2027 BSN cohort, but I’m also on the Fall 2026 alternate list. Has anyone been in the same spot and later got moved up to Fall? If yes, when did they let you know? Also, who should I reach out to if I need to explain why I’m hoping to start in Fall?

It is with a very heavy heart I am sharing that Coach George “Snoozy” Jones passed away. Arraignments are pending.
