Thank you so much for your response! I took your advice and began applying for jobs anyway. To my surprise, the Arizona BON granted me a license 3 days after passing my NCLEX without doing an investigation! Just thought I would post to let anyone kn...
Hi Everyone! I am looking for some advice on how to go about applying for jobs, or if I should even start applying for jobs as a new graduate RN. I just graduated from my nursing program this month. The problem is that about 10 years ago I received a...

@Cj888Thank you so much!!! It's definitely been a crazy ride, and it went by SO fast! And yes! I actually start mine tomorrow. At the beginning of summer semester they had us apply to the hospitals we wanted to do our immersion in (HonorHealth, Phoen...

I was very nervous about doing the program as a single mom as well, but it has actually been a lot better than I expected. It is great that you have help with dropping off and picking them up, because that has been the biggest issue I would say. I ac...

I called and asked them last week just to make sure they were still planning to notify us by mid-October and they said "yes." She also confirmed that we would be notified through our ASU email.

I don't know about anyone else, but the anticipation is killing me! I know we probably won't find out for another 1-2 weeks, but I am constantly checking my email for news. haha!

I also wanted to ask... are there any other single parents who are applying to the program? Perhaps this was already discussed earlier in the thread and I missed it. Any tips on paying for childcare and bills during school without working? I feel lik...
