Thank you so much, this definitely helps I will get to it and get my process going =0)

There are multiple ways to get your BSN from ASu. Seeing as you are attending community college that removes the option of being a direct admit. The options avaliable to you are either through RN-BSN where you sign up to get your RN through a MCC nursing program that will get you your associates and allow you to go take the nclex to get your RN license then you complete your bachelors through ASU online. Your other option is the option I chose, get the best grades possible in CC while you complete all 17 pre reqs of those 17 pre reqs 13 will create a select GPA and then you must go take the TEAS which is the entrance exam. These two scores will be combined and you will be competeing against all others trying to get into the program for a limited amount of seats. These are the options for just ASU. There are CEP(Concurent enrollment program) options offered through CC that can get you a bachelors from NAU or you UOFA but I dont beleieve there is a ASU one. Anyways, My reccomendation is meet with CC advisor and ASU advisor for a list of all your options in detail then decide. My only advice is if you chose to do it the way I did prepare for stress. Every grade counts, my GPA is 3.93 and my TEAS score was 82% and im still worried i might not get in. I have been told it is easier now so I should be alright but you really never known. Hope this all helps!

Well thank you so much for that info. I'm doing way better than when I first started, I did set up an appointment with an advisor tomorrow so hopefully I will be able to get my situation squared off. But why did you decide to take that path with the high grades and not any of the other 2 options if I may ask

I'm doing the CEP with NAU and I want to say there is a CEP with ASU as while. With the CEP program it is very competitive the reason I decided to do CEP is for 2 reason: Most hospitals want you to have a BSN or it is getting that way in the next year and the other is there is a 2 year waiting list that you can bypass with the CEP if your grades are good.

Interesting that sounds as a great option as well. I am interested in getting my BSN so I have to do whatever it takes. I hear there are tons of jobs however, some people say they have applied to hundreds of them and they never get a call back even if they were top notch, is this common?

There are and aren't ton of jobs depending on how you look at things. Most facilities want experienced nurses. And the ones who have new grad programs or are willing to hire new grad nurses and train them have the pick of the litter. There are technically a lot of nursing jobs available, there are just more nurses job hunting then the amount of jobs available. Also keep in mind that a job listing doesn't necessarily mean there is an open position. Many facilities keep job openings posted and open for months end even years because they want the constant resume availability if a nurse is terminated or quits abruptly. It give them the chance to look at who has already applied, versus waiting to post the job and then wait for enough applicants. Its always best to check the posting date of the job you are applying for. Definiatly apply for older posted dates, but dont expect much from them. Also, HR can only look at a certain amount of applications per job. So if 100 nurses apply to an opening, they may cut off what they look at to the first 25. It is best to apply to job right when they open to increase your chances of your application at least getting looked at. GL in your schooling and go into this knowing, that as long as you are persistent and apply everywhere, you will likely find a job, it may just not be your desired job right out the door and you will probably not find one immediatly unless you have connections to the facility or right place right time.

Wow. Thank you so much for that info, this page definitely has tons of great info when people like you leave this type of feedback. Definantly helps out and even shapes the way of thinking to kind of help me realize how the job game is played in terms of perseverance and such, thank you

I'm trying to share my experience with everyone possible. I met with advisors from all the nursing schools with BSN programs. I ultimately decided to enroll at Brookline College. If you haven't heard of them, look them up! It is a smaller school but very personal and very successful (you can check out their On-time grad rate, NCLEX pass rate, and accrediation at AZBN.GOV). IF you haven't gone to AZBN.GOV yet, check it out it's a great website to get you started. But I just started at Brookline on September 2nd and so far I absolutely love it! The professors are great, the classes are small and personal and the falcutly is awesome. They made my admissions process smooth and stress free-***************, I give his number out to everyone cause he was so kind to me through the process :). They usually never have a waitlist as long as you get in early enough before a start date (I enrolled in early August and still got in for Septemeber). As far as jobs, this schools job placement rate is currently at 90%! I am so pleased with them so far I just wish I could tell the world! You should definitely check them out!

Hope this helps and good luck!

Brookline may be a good school but considering their program is $85,000 for a BSN I would have a very difficult time recommending that to anyone. There is no justification to that kind of cost!

^^THIS. ouch!

If your GPA and entrance exam scores are high enough to be competitive, then definitely try for one of the state/public unis, or even GCU, much much cheaper. But if you dont get in and can spend that kind of money, then sure, why not.
