1. Arizona State University?

   SapphireSky26 replied to kaitmac7's topic in General Students

   I graduated from ASU's nursing program in August and loved it! It seems to have a good reputation with the hospitals. While I can't speak for how well ASU prepared me for my first nursing job (I start next month), it prepared me very well for the N...

2. Mom and Nursing Student: What should I do? How should I do this?

   SapphireSky26 replied to ToJayRobin's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You can do this! Nursing school with kids is not easy, but (as other posters have said) it is possible! I started nursing school with a 12 week old and a 3 year old. I graduate next month! There have been many times that I felt like I couldn't do i...

   SapphireSky26 replied to Froyoagogo's topic in School Programs

   No prob! It's rough in the beginning when you have no clue what's going on. Eventually, you learn to kind of just roll with it. On regular class days (310, 311, 312, 330), you wear regular clothes. For lab days (320), you wear your wine top and w...

5. Arizona State University - Summer/Fall 2014

   SapphireSky26 replied to Froyoagogo's topic in School Programs

   The first week was a lot of general information. Getting to know you stuff, policies, paperwork, lab tours, communication skills, and some simple lectures. You kind of dive right into pharmacology. The first two weeks seemed pretty tame...then the...

   Awesome advice! Thanks for sharing! I think we should definitely start a Facebook group.

   Carpool buddies would be wonderful. I'm in the west valley, though. It looks like I am going to have to suck it up an buy a parking pass. My husband works downtown but we won't exactly be on the same schedule. Plus, we have clinicals. :) Getting...

   It's going to definitely be busy! Did you register yet? It's crazy to see all nursing classes on my schedule when I log into My ASU!

10. Mesa Community College and ASU- Pre-reqs taken over 8 years ago

    SapphireSky26 replied to bellabee32's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I don't know about MCC, but the ASU nursing program only has the seven year limit for the lab science courses. It's okay if your English, math, and psych classes are old. My psych and English classes are over eight years old and I got into the prog...

    For clinicals, pants are white, tops are wine (and are customized for ASU).

    SapphireSky26 replied to Froyoagogo's topic in School Programs

    Once you get provisional acceptance, you need to pass a drug test and physical, as well as pass a background check and submit proof of insurance. My letter said that they're sending out more info next week (at least for the summer cohort) so we'll p...
