Hi everyone! I'm so excited about April and CAN'T wait for it to get here! @ Holly, I totally feel you on being tired of prerequisites! I'm finishing Micro, A&P II, Eng 102 and biomedical ethics this semester and I am sooooo ready for it to be over I saw that you have two kids, my daughter is 15 months, so I'm glad to know there will be a few mom's this semester! I'm trying to wrap my mind around, school, clinicals, immense studying and being a mom and wife too! (whew)

But I really can't wait. My old laptop recently died and I have yet to transfer the pics to this one. But I do have them on my facebook page. If any of you do a search it's under Candi Serapiao. I didn't see anything on new student day, but I'm happy to hear there is one!:)

dont stress about uniforms ! I got 2 tops and 2 bottoms, for each day of clinical since you have it 2 days a week. havent worn the polo or lab coat yet, so dont worry about that stuff .. they say its "required" but some people have only gotten 1 set of scrubs due to financial reasons.

they havent really gone so much into that.. when you finish at aria you are automatically accepted into psu, and can finish your bsn online which is only a few classes to complete.. hope that helps

@ Candi -Yes, micro A&P 2 and 2 other classes that is a really full load. Keep pushing through it! I'll look for you on fb. My laptop recently died too, but I forked over a lot of dough to have all my old files transfered to my new desktop.

I'll add you on fb for sure.

So say a student has a lot of pre-reqs that transfer in. Is it possible to complete some of the BSN classes you would take at psu during the nursing program so that you finish in less time?

Yes...you can skip the psu rotations and graduate early. In my case I took all of the college courses except micro and phramacology so jackie for psu said I'll have the option to take classes towards my bsn

Oh thats nice. I'm hoping they take most of my classes. I took them out of state though in CO and CA. So I'm not sure how those will transfer. My classes are accepted at all nursing programs in the West based on inter-state school agreements.

I wonder how many students at this school that are accepted graduate from the program. Does anyone know Aria's pass/fail statistics?

I'm wondering because I'm trying gauge the difficulty of this particular nursing program. I don't want to work, but finances will be strained having to pay for childcare/gas for days I go to class. I have two kids plus appx. a 1 hour commute each way to the campus, which will also take up much of my time. Does anyone in the program have kids and work part-time at Aria SON?
