1. Info on Arizona State (ASU) Online Concurrent Program?

   taragarofano posted a topic in School Programs

   Currently working on my RN in California, and I'm deciding between CalState Dominguez Hills and ASU for my BSN. My questions are: How quickly can you finish at ASU? I know they have concurrent enrollment, but my workload in my current program is...

2. How do I document A&O status of nonverbal patient?

   taragarofano posted a topic in General Students

   I have to do a paper on a patient who has had a stroke and is nonverbal. He attempts to point at images to communicate, but is not always successful. But he does respond to verbal commands with his unaffected side. How do document his A&O and LOC...

   Also, while. I'm here: I've been wondering about the dresscode and what to buy besides the scrubs and uniform. I have tattoos on my wrist and forearms, so I guess I'll need to wear some sort of long sleeve to cover them? Also, for class d...

   You could maybe get a loan to bridge the gap of the lost income. It sucks, but it will be worth it in the long run!

   I got in! I will also say that people in the nursing department were totally helpful and responsive to an issue I had. I wouldn't hesitate to bring any issues to them.

   taragarofano replied to Sheroe's topic in School Programs

   Oh man...I don't know yet! I had another issue, something like the one above, so they DIDN'T accept me. But I contacted the department head and straightened it out, so they're looking at my application again (which I'm super grateful for!). So, I'm s...

   taragarofano replied to Sheroe's topic in School Programs

   Thanks! I'm just worried I did something stupid on the application that disqualifies me- like, at first I sent it Registered mail rather than Certified (so I sent it again). I actually applied to nursing school in Louisiana before I moved here, but t...

   Hey! I've been wanting to get back to you. Life LOL... I have NOT applied anywhere else. I'm putting all my eggs in this basket. I don't have child psychology or Chemistry, which a lot of other programs require. If I don't get in, I'll prob take thos...

    EVERYONE is going to get lower points with this new point system! We're all in the same boat. I would definitely NOT feel discouraged yet. I'm actually taking Argumentation and Statistics this semester, just in case I need to re-apply (but also cause...

    taragarofano replied to Sheroe's topic in School Programs

    So, yeah- they totally changed the point system! If I calculated everything correctly, I'm at 67. I got above a 90 on my TEAS, which I did not expect, and that gave me a bit more of a cushion. I submitted my application and got the confirmation ...

12. TEAS Exam

    taragarofano replied to Pink's topic in TEAS

    WOAH. Just finished- I got a 91.3! But lemme tell you, there were hardly any questions from those 2 quizlets on my test. There were actually a lot of things I didn't study (from the B and C tests and the yellow book practice tests)... I had to rely o...

13. TEAS Exam

    taragarofano replied to Pink's topic in TEAS

    I am taking the test next week as well (Thursday). I have trouble just reading the Mometrix book and the ATI manual. I do better taking practice tests and targeting the areas where I really need to study. I got an 82.7 on Practice Test B and a 91.3 o...

    Hi Ya'll, I've been following this post for a bit and it's helped my studying so much- thanks! Quick question for anyone who took the test remotely: can you use scrap paper?
