1. can you become a RN with a GED?

   WalnutCookies replied to MommySky's topic in South Carolina

   Five years ago, I was almost the same exact situation as you. I didn't graduate from high school; I obtained my GED. My youngest daughter was a month old when I started taking online classes at the local community college. I hated the online classes,...

2. Disappointing final clinical rotation

   WalnutCookies replied to WalnutCookies's topic in General Students

   Thanks for the suggestions and encouragement, everyone. Aside from the marbles (haha), I'm pretty much doing all these other things. It's hard to get super familiar with a patient when they're only with me for an hour and coming out of sedation, but ...

   So, how is everyone in the summer 2014 cohort doing the first week? I don't know about anybody else, but I feel a little overwhelmed by all the new stuff that they're throwing at us. I sent my husband a text saying, "Been real nice knowing you, I'll ...

   WalnutCookies replied to Froyoagogo's topic in School Programs

   You can have four course in progress. However, if you have five left to do, you can petition to apply while missing that extra course. That's what I did, and they approved my petition, but they wanted me to have that fifth course done in 8 weeks, so ...

   I just looked on ASU's website about the added fees. Yes, it appears that there will be an extra $1750 in fees, in addition to all the other fees and tuition, every semester. "Program Fees: All students advanced to the TPCNP, whether directly admitt...

   A few weeks ago, I attended the "How to Land you First Job in Nursing" presentation at the ASU downtown campus. I took a lot of notes, and there was a lot of good information that I thought I would share. --------------------------------------------...

   Yeah, I noticed that. What is it? I thought that the $750 "Tuition UG Nursing" was the tuition differential for nursing. Is there going to be an extra $1750 EVERY semester?

    WalnutCookies replied to Froyoagogo's topic in School Programs

    Yep, I'm going. I'm fortunate in that I have an on-call (more or less) grandpa that watches the kids, and my husband and I each have our own cars. I need to find a couple of car-pool buddies in the east valley. Look at the parking pass prices! If I c...

    Yep, I registered last night. Today, I'm looking for books. Did you sign up for the presentation tomorrow, "How to Land Your First Job in Nursing?" Seems like there could be some useful information in there.

    Does anybody know what the white official CONHI polos are for? Is that what we're supposed to wear to class on non-clinical/non-lab days? I guess I'll find out in a few weeks, I'm just curious.
