Hi All! I passed the AANP FNP exam yesterday. I found it very useful to read all of the tips and experiences that others have shared regarding their exam prep so I wanted to contribute while it is somewhat fresh. Firstly, I found it to be a difficult...

Hey BeeSupporter, Someone I know from my program got an offer yesterday for ICU. She also interviewed earlier this week. Were there multiple positions?

Hi Skier, Congrats on getting an interview! My interview was in the new building. I parked in the structure next to is on Children's Way off of Thomas. There are arrows and signs pointing you to the lobby from that structure. When you walk in there i...

I just need to vent! I am graduating in May and therefore have started my quest for that unicorn of the nursing world: The New Grad Job. In my search I am using engines such as Indeed, Monster, etc. One would think that by using terms such as "New Gr...

Also, this is just a side note, but once you apply, answer every phone call! I know of at least two people from my program who missed the call from the recruiter and by the time they returned it I think all of the interviews had been scheduled. Now t...

Hey all, I just wanted to say that they've been talking about this program since before I started at ASU! Not that it won't happen, but I would just get in where you can. I had a previous degree in business and was advised of this program and they we...

I was also offered a position in the PICU. So exciting! I bet we'll all be in class together. I'm so happy to hear the good news starting to come in!

Hi all, I wanted to check in regarding my interview. The interviewers were such nice ladies it was difficult to tell how I did! I think I could have said anything and they would have still been great... so who knows!? They put me at ease and it was v...

I wasn't offered an interview for med/surg but I believe I specified ICU and ED when I applied if I remember correctly so that may have been why. I honestly answered the call thinking it was someone else so I was not mentally prepared to ask question...

Perfect I will do that! Thanks so much! And then I guess I will be in the waiting game with everyone else. Hopefully this is the last round and they don't keep us suffering too long!

Hello all! I am a new grad. Was just offered an interview for the ICU/ED position on Friday. So now I am super nervous because I have never interviewed in this field before. Any advice? I'm just worried about situational questions because in clinical...

So that confirms my feeling that there should be something I can do to start the process prior to actually graduating. Hmmm. I guess I'll wait until the new fiscal year and but him again. Maybe then he'll want to help lol. Scuba, I want to go to San...

Can I just ask if you all entered via direct accession or the NCP? I'm going to graduate May 2011 and I'm very interested in the Navy. Because I want to do direct accession rather than NCP my recruiter is basically telling me I'll have a slim chance ...

Well I am in my first semester of the ASU program. It is definitely intense, there is no sugercoating that. I am also a Mom but my son is older so less demanding on my time than small children. However we do have some Mom's with small ones and they a...

Congrats to you! I was considering the LPN route if I didn't get in this time so I agree that any program is great right now. The plus of the associates program is that you'll probably be able to get your employer to pay for your BSN bridge program. ...

I'm in! I got the letter today. I'm so relieved. Now I just have to figure out how to support myself through the program LOL. The cut off was 5.593 this time. Hope to see you guys at the welcome meeting!

I think mine is a flat 5.7 if I remember correctly so I'm right behind you. If that doesn't get me in I think I'm going to become a physical therapist. :) Let me know when you get your letter either way. I'll post as soon as I find out. Good Luck!

I've only done the first weekend. A lot of the information you will have seen doing your pre-reqs but there is some new info and the skills can be fun. We learned how to take blood pressures on Sunday which was new for me and more challenging than I ...

I saw your post and laughed because what you want to do is exactly my gameplan. I'm actually attending the weekend class at RSAA right now. I'm waiting to find out if I've made the cut for the fall start at ASU (fingers and toes crossed) and they are...

I am applying again for fall as well. I was able to replace my B in Microbiology with my A in Pathophysiology this time so I will have a 4.0. I hope that is enough of a difference because I didn't do significantly better on the NET. I took it yesterd...

Have you looked into GCU at all? They have a fast track that is 20 months. I don't know if that is year round but it seems like it would be. They are expensive but I think they give a military discount. Just a thought.

So I found out yesterday that I am alternate #19 out of 20. So, it's not looking good for me to get in even as an alternate. The bad part is that they want the alternates to go to the welcome meeting with everyone as if we're in. That just sounds lik...

Hey guys, I just got my alternate letter as well. My score was 5.531.

I haven't applied for any but I need to. I looked at them a little and quickly became discouraged so I was hoping to meet with someone in financial aid once I'm advanced. It seems pointless until I get in. Did you apply for any? Have any luck? Can th...

Hi there, I am also a 2nd degree student, hoping to begin a 16 month BSN program in January. However my situation is a little different in that I am already working and a breadwinner, just decided that I need to do something more meaningful. If money...
