I thought I would start this blog for the NAU spring 2016 nursing program application cycle!
I take the Kaplan exam on March 11th and the application is due during spring break. (March 15th)
Just want to know who else is out there apply this cycle :)
I love it. This semester has been the best so far (advanced med/surg), because we got to do all our ICU clinicals.
As for advice, just remember everyone studies and learns differently. They will stress you really have to read all of the assigned chapters, or at least skim them. That has worked great for some, but I personally haven't even opened my books and have only gotten one B in the program so far. Just find out what works for you! For me- that's just watching YouTube videos, reading over my lecture notes, and doing 100's of NCLEX practice questions. Don't let other classmates freaking out about how many hours they spent reading pressure you into feeling like you have to be studying for a certain amount of hours to be successful. It's just not true.
Best of luck- NAU has a terrific program, and I have really enjoyed it thus far.

Ok so I'm assuming the people that didn't get in haven't gotten emailed yet. I don't want to lose hope but that's what it looks like.
