U.S.A. Arizona

Published

Hello out there!

Is anyone else applying for and /or waiting to see if they are accepted to ASU's Post-Bacc nursing program starting in Jan. of 2013? Anyone from the ASU post-bacc nursing class of 2012 is more than welcome to write and let me know how it is going for them as well! :)

My application is in and I wanted to see if anyone else is out there and want to discuss your GPA, TEAS V scores, anxieties, and the program in general.

Thanks!

Did you get it ziggy?

Hi Everybody-

I just wasted 15 minutes trying to figure out where to post the health insurance info on certifiedbackground.com. It goes under your immunization record (which still will say complete, BTW), but when you click on your record, it will have a spot for health insurance.

Not sure if anybody else will have trouble figuring that out, but I figured it couldn't hurt to pass the info along.

Hope it helps!!

Hi all! Just found the forum while looking for parking situations on the 12th. Anyone plan on taking the light rail to class? Does anyone know if all our classes are in the NHI buildings? Cant wait to meet everyone!

Hi. Does anyone know if classes run all day or just half day? My childcare situation backed out, and I need to find new care. Any clue??

I looked up the course list in the general catalog and they're all offered in the early morning and late afternoon. Not sure if additional classes will be added, we'll be segregated into am or pm, or if we do clinicals BETWEEN am and pm. I just hope theyre grouped together because of the commute!

I am new to this website so Im not sure on how it works! But I have a question for the students who are currently in the post bacc nursing program at asu. :) My first question is about the select prerequisite courses. Are students allowed to retake any of these classes? Also, is the select gpa include +/- or is it just strictly letter grades?

I am not currently in the program, but I am applying for Spring 2014 and attended an information session this week. We were told that you can not retake prerequisite courses if you received a C or better. The only exception is that you can substitute your grade in a higher level class. For example, if you got a B in introductory chemistry but got an A in general or organic chemistry, you can use the A for your chemistry grade. I believe you can only replace one of your grades, though. Additionally, ASU does not use the +/- system when calculating select gpa. If you are currently in Phoenix, it is definitely helpful to attend the BSN information session. They go over many of the program specifics in detail. Once you attend the information session, you can meet with an advisor.

Sapphire is correct. Although, for the post-bacc there is no limit on how many grades of 'c' you can get. However, I think more than two c's makes it impossible to keep even the minimum GPA. Hopefully getting C's isn't a problem....since ASU only uses 8/10 pre-reqs grades for your select GPA, and those classes generally don't compare in difficulty to upper-level NUR courses. See ya in 2014.

Hi everyone! I am currently taking the pre-reqs for the post bacc nursing program to apply in fall! Have you taken the TEAS exam yet? I haven't met anyone who is applying for this program and would LOVE to talk with someone about it! Anyone else applying for Dec 14'?
