I submitted my application for the accelerated Summer 2010 program at ASU awhile ago, but I just realized that the February 1st deadline was coming up and wanted to see if anyone else here on allnurses.com applied or is applying. I'm so nervous, I've already applied once and didn't make it--I really, really, really, REALLY hope I can get in this time.
I'm already starting to get impatient waiting for April!!! My whole life is on hold until then! I hate that I can't apply to any other schools because I'm stuck waiting for ASU and I don't want to pay a bunch of application fees if I make it into ASU regardless. Don't get me wrong, though, I really want to get into ASU's program. I just want to get into nursing, really. It's just a little annoying that we will find out about getting into the program so late in the year .
Wow, after reading that one post about how the list may be inaccurate, I'm kind of worried. Thank goodness I didn't buy FULL price books. I doubt the WHOLE list is messed up because I don't think ASU would send us the list in the first place if they knew it was full of errors. I guess I'll just have to wait and see...
I will definately update when I hear back from her.
Sabrina, I wouldn't stress it too much. She didn't make it sound like it was all wrong. Im pretty sure its just a book or two, if thats even true. She wasn't 100% sure on it. You'll probably be fine! :)

I second what airborneinf82 said, I don't think you should worry too much; like you said, IF they change some of the books, it will probably only be one or two. I doubt the whole list would be inaccurate, that's a lot of books! You should be fine. :) Plus, if there are any books that you got that we won't need, they could either be used as extra study material or you could always return them or even try to sell them back and make a little money! ...I didn't say that... haha
Thanks for cheering me up, guys! :] I'm in the same boat as one of the other people. My scholarship doesn't cover summer tuition. I haven't filled out a FAFSA since 07'.. lol.. I am considering a loan. My work does tuition reimbursement but with the economy being so bad, I'm not sure how much they can help me with, if at all. The first day of school [5/17] is my 21st birthday, guess my Vegas money will be going towards tuition.. haha...
Hey, has anyone been able to register for the summer classes yet? I noticed there are 4 listed with 60 slots which I imagine are our classes. I talked to student services yesterday and they did say there were 4 we would register for ourselves and 1 they had to put us in.
The sooner I can get registered the better the chances of getting my VA benefits to transition over to the summer without a delay in payment. I guess I'll probably give them a call tomorrow. Just curious if anyone registered yet online.
@scperez11 Aw, that's a bummer that your 21st birthday is on our first day of class! But also kind of cool that you're starting nursing school on your birthday. It just puts a crimp in your plans, I'm sure... haha. I'm actually excited because my birthday (June 21st) is on a Monday and for the first time in my entire life, I will have school that day! I'm kind of excited! But I'm a nerd like that...
Thankfully I fill out FAFSA every year, but I have no idea if they're going to give me any money or not. I talked to Student Services today about that and they couldn't help much or give much information. She said that they're still trying to work everything out through the system and it's taking them a lot longer than they thought lol. Hopefully they'll figure out soon! And they said that we wouldn't know if we're going to get Financial Aid until we can register for classes, which won't happen until like April 30th or something according to our packet...
@airborneinf82 Like what AZapplicant said, we're supposed to get the registration information on the 16th at the Welcome Meeting. I noticed those 4 classes as well, but one of them has the wrong name and course number. I think they're still getting the kinks out of the course schedule. I tried registering for the classes but it wouldn't let me; I guess I'm just not patient enough
My birthday is on a school day as well, May 19th. I think that's the first time since high school haha. If anyone is looking into stethoscopes I mentioned earlier about Scrubs and Beyond on Gilbert/Germann. I called and they are selling the Littmann Lightweight II for $50, which is still $10 cheaper than most places I've seen it. I'm not sure how long the sale is though, the girl just said I should come in soon.
Don't get me wrong, though, I really want to get into ASU's program. I just want to get into nursing, really. It's just a little annoying that we will find out about getting into the program so late in the year
