Has anyone applied to the Banner preceptorship program for their final semester of school? If so, please share your experience. How long did it take to hear from a recruiter after submitting the application? What was the interview like? How did you p...

Hello all! I just accepted a new grad position at one of the Banner facilities in Tucson. I was curious if anyone has been through the new grad experience recently, and if you would mind sharing your experience. Are there simulations? How was your pr...

I start on July 27th. I'm excited to get out into the working world. Thanks for the encouragement! I start July 27th. Just passed the NCLEX this week. Which unit are you going into? I'll be in the ICU at South Campus. I was also in the preceptorshi...

Hi everyone! I'm curious if anyone here uses a smartwatch to help stay organized at work? If you do, which one do you prefer? How do you use it to optimize your time? What features do you like/dislike? I'm considering getting one so I can set timers ...

Good luck! I have a phone interview later this week. If you don't mind coming back and sharing your experience after your interview, it would be greatly appreciated!

Congrats on your first choice. That's awesome! Thank you, I'm going to prep for my interview this weekend.

Awesome! I have a phone interview scheduled next week, fingers crossed. Which unit did you get?

I record all of my lectures and listen to them while I'm studying at home, in the car, walking the dog, etc. My classes are typically four hours long, so I record the lectures in chunks, typically by chapter. As the professor pulls up the powerpoint ...

Hi, everyone! I thought I'd start this thread to connect with anyone applying to the NAU BSN program for the spring 2018 semester. I'm only applying to the Tucson program, but feel free to share your campus preferences and any advice, questions, stat...

@Congratulations, jmtravers3! I sent you a PM with my info. :)

@rilslay, that's right.

@miam0, my fingers are crossed for you too!

@jmtravers3, keeping my fingers crossed for you! :)

Hey guys! I was accepted to the Tucson program! :)

@sabbysabby & @rilslay, congrats to you both! Eeeek, I'm so nervous. @jmtravers3, I'll comment on here the moment I hear anything about Tucson. I'm checking every time my phone alerts me to new emails, hehehe.

I broke down and called the nursing office last week. The person I spoke to said we should know by this Friday. Fingers crossed!

@rilslay, thanks for clearing that up! That fits with what the advisor in Tucson told us in our information session.

@miam0, I found this comment in the NAU Nursing Fall 2016 forum: "1) First, they look at just your PREREQUISITES GPA (not overall college GPA)..They base it off of a point system: 3.0-3.19=1 point 3.2-3.39=2 points 3.4-3.59=3 points 3.6-3.79=4 points...

@rilslay, I wouldn't worry too much about having courses in progress. Your Kaplan/GPA are really good. The advisor in Tucson told me that someone was accepted last semester with 3 courses in progress. @Sabbysabby, is it 170 for the Flagstaff program ...

This Friday (10/13) marks four weeks since our apps were due! My fingers are crossed that we find out our statuses this week!

I knocked out my last prereq class over the summer. Do you have anything still in progress?

Your scores are great, miam0! I'm feeling confident for everyone posting on this thread right now. I'm hoping that decisions come quickly. I turned my app in over a month ago, so I feel like I've been waiting forever already!

I recently took the Kaplan entrance exam and scored a 95% on the science section. I just wanted to share how I studied for the exam because I've seen a few people asking about this section. All of the questions are going to cover systems from A&P...

Hi miam0, my advice is to focus solely on A&P - it makes up the entire Kaplan science section. Make sure you spend extra time studying the respiratory, neuro, cardio, immune systems because a good chunk of the questions will cover these areas. ...

Does anyone know how the prerequisite GPA is calculated? I've been reading forums from previous application cycles, and there is supposedly a .02 weight added to the math/science courses. Also, how does it work if your math statistics course counts t...
