NAU accelerated BSN 2013 applicants

U.S.A. Arizona

Published

Hello Internet, did anyone out there apply to the NAU aBSN for 2013? I never post on these things but we have a long 6 to 8 week wait ahead of us so it seems like a reasonable way to procrastinate.

I checked the mail three times today and then realized it was a holiday... Ugg, they waiting is driving me bonkers!!!

schershmelshnac, Way to go!!!, I'm so happy for you. Are you going to finish out the semester with your program? BTW- The patho class is a PIECE OF CAKE. Seriously, the easiest class I have taken thus far.

Rylin86, did you hear? I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. Post as soon as you find out. I have one In Progress class, so although our scores were similar, you might be in!

Those of you who go in, what does your deadline look like? Do you also have to give a deposit at that time?

Thanks! The deadline is march 1 to return the letter accepting placement in the program. I haven't gotten any info about paying yet.

Good to hear about patho. I'm planning to finish my semester here. I don't have time to get a job before may and I already took out student loans so might as well. It will be kind of weird to have to start all over in may but one thing I've learned from nursing so far is that everybody teaches/does things differently and there's always more to learn about everything.

On a side note I am so excited to get the NAU scrubs! The scrubs we have to wear in my program are such a ridiculous color...

Hello everybody!

Got my acceptance letter today! I'm from Spokane, WA and looking forward to some sunny days! I have never been to Flagstaff, does anybody have any recommendations on where to live?

I still have to take my Patho class online from Marcopia? Anybody else in this boat or have a book they would like to sell :)

Can't wait to meet everybody!

I finally got my letter! I'm on the alternate list. Does anyone know how many people are alternates? I still have to take patho this Spring so maybe that's why? Anyways, I'm still excited it isn't a rejection :-)

I got my letter today too and I got accepted! I'm so excited and relieved to actually know! Good luck to those of you on the alternate list, I'm sure some people will not accept their seat.

Rylin, I'm taking Patho right now and will be done is 4 weeks. I understand that there are 10 alternate spots. What number are you? Having 10 alternate spots for a program that accepts 30 seems like odds are good they call up the alternates. I am figuring out my immunization stuff. Do you have all your Hepatitis shots? I am wondering if you have to have them completed before the program starts?

Congratulations to everyone who has gotten in so far! For those on the waiting list, yes there are typically people that don't accept and they go through the waist list. I know there are several people in my class that were on the wait list (even lower numbers on the list). We had one girl who got accepted the day before the program started (she already lived in town, so it worked).

dsb_fam: there are people in the program currently that have families. . .some with teenagers and some with young children. They are doing it, though I know it is difficult on them as they have to sacrifice some family time for schoolwork (general of what I have heard from them. . .if you have particular questions I would be happy to ask for you).

@jl31911: Do you have any suggestions on where to look for affordable housing? Thanks!

Thanks jl31911, thanks for the info on the alternate list. I live by Flag and will have everything ready to go if I'm called. Can you share what your schedule looks like in a given week? Any days off specifically? Thanks so much for all your great information.

Ewilbert, wish I could help you with housing. Have you tried Flagstaff craigslist? I see lots of postings for apartments. I don't live in Flagstaff, so I can't give you specifics.

@dsb_fam: I'm actually still finishing my last anatomy this term and have Patho this spring... I am currently number 9 on the alternate list so, fingers crossed!! I am pretty sure I have all my shots, although I don't think I ever had my last shot for HPV? I need to schedule a physical, but I figure I'll wait until I hear back from a few other schools...
