1. ASU Post Bacc - 2019

   run_happy replied to RNmama2019's topic in Arizona

   Ugh tbh the whole financial aid thing was a bit of a nightmare for many of us, myself included. The problem is that ASU's COA (cost of attendance) is directly reflective of what the government or powers that be decided the COA is for students at this...

   run_happy replied to RNmama2019's topic in Arizona

   Over the summer you'll have lecture for about 6 hours Tues/Thurs and clinical or lab M/W/F. Some groups have 1-2 clinicals on Saturdays as well. Pretty much everything is mandatory and I definitely would recommend not missing a single day of pediatri...

4. What pre reqs should I take together?

   run_happy replied to kvti's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took Chem, Micro, and A&P together while working full-time and finished with an A+ in all 3 classes. I personally didn't find it hard at all! You know yourself best, though. Everyone handles coursework differently. If you think you can do it, I...

   run_happy replied to LindseyPar's topic in General Nursing

   run_happy replied to RNmama2019's topic in Arizona

   Unfortunately, we were not able to request sites by location and we didn't know where the clinical sites would be prior to registering for classes. It was more of a blind/random sign up and then you get whatcha get. I don't think anyone was able to s...

7. ASU Post Bacc - 2019

   run_happy replied to RNmama2019's topic in Arizona

   So we honestly didn't even know where the clinical sites were going to be when we signed up. Like for instance, one morning in March we woke up to an email telling us which courses to register for for both summer and fall and we kinda all just random...

   run_happy replied to RNmama2019's topic in Arizona

   Hi guys! I'm a current post-bacc student as well. :) For those asking about private loans, I also went with Citizens Bank. They had the best interest rate and deferment options by far. I also would recommend a cosigner, especially if you won't be wor...
