  1. NAU Flagstaff - Traditional BSN - Fall 2011

    Southern Magnolia replied to dpowe003's topic in Arizona Nursing

    D- Based on history I'm expecting to hear something next week. Last year notifications went out the 3 rd week of April. The advisor had said that we should hear late April so we'll

  2. Traditional BSN at NAU

    Southern Magnolia replied to pre-ASUstudent's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes, it's the Hesi a2 but I've heard (on here) that it might be changing to a different exam. Sorry it is 10 prerecs. It was 11 for me b/c my English was divided between 101 and

  3. Traditional BSN at NAU

    Southern Magnolia replied to pre-ASUstudent's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Oh, the criteria to my understanding is 1) prerequisite gpa - there are 11 classes I believe. 2) your entrance exam score 3) you get "extra" points for having volunteer and healthcare experience. I...

  4. Traditional BSN at NAU

    Southern Magnolia replied to pre-ASUstudent's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have applied to NAU's traditional program for fall but at the Tucson location. Sorry I'm too wiped out to go into much detail tonight. I think you 'll find a lot of info just by searching the...

  5. How many semesters of nursing classes do you have?

    Southern Magnolia replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

    5 traditional semesters with summers off - so 2 1/2 years in time. ETA - IF I GET IN! I have maybe two more weeks to wait and I'm

  6. Would I be able to get into the nursing program?

    Southern Magnolia replied to orangieex3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not in NY but from my experience it depends on the programs you're looking into. Even all A's will only bring you up to around a 3.0 (many programs require 3.5) but if you find a program that...

  7. I'm a little confused

    Southern Magnolia replied to futurestudent11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I looked at the link you provided and it appears there are several prerequisite courses as well as the TEAS exam. Or did I miss something . . . "Applicants who meet minimum testing requirements and...

  8. Biology Prerequisites

    Southern Magnolia replied to Clever Username's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmmm. I took A&P together so I'm not sure this applies but I found A&P II most challenging (more physiology than anatomy) followed by A&P I and then micro. My micro experience probably...

  9. How are second degree students paying for school?

    Southern Magnolia replied to Loloberry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are different limits for graduate school. There are still limits but it goes up. Look at the stafford loan

  10. How are second degree students paying for school?

    Southern Magnolia replied to Loloberry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I gave you the link to stafford loan limits in my previous post. The aggregate as well as subsidized vs unsubsidized are listed on that site. If the link doesn't work google " stafford loans"....

  11. What do I need to do first, before I even go to nursing school?

    Southern Magnolia replied to GirlDotson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes you can get a BSN without getting an ADN first. The same way you can get a Bachelor's in education without having an associates in education. ADN is a two year program usually. BSN varies. The...

  12. What do I need to do first, before I even go to nursing school?

    Southern Magnolia replied to GirlDotson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look into the programs in the area you live in/ you'd like to live. I'd suggest checking out ADN and BSN programs. Look at what the requirements are for each program (prerequisites, if you need to...

  13. BSN program with no waitlist

    Southern Magnolia replied to scm1990's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    BSN programs in AZ don't have wait lists (you still have hoops to jump through to apply and may or may not get in on your 1st try) but the application cycles have closed for fall I'm pretty

  14. How are second degree students paying for school?

    Southern Magnolia replied to Loloberry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is an lifetime undergrad max for federal student loans. I have a prior degree and loans but have about 25K left before I reach the max. I haven't gotten in the program yet so I don't know for...

  15. I'm a little confused

    Southern Magnolia replied to futurestudent11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my area both the local ADN program and local BSN programs require prerequisites be complete before any nursing courses/ acceptance into the nursing program. There are also corequisites one may...

  16. I aced the test! Now how do I get home?

    Southern Magnolia replied to Mully's topic in General Nursing

    I have no excuse now then I guess. My boys are now 4 and 5! I must say though it has gotten better. That first couple of year as a new mom was rough. I started prerequisites when my youngest was...

  17. Worried about not having a 4.0? DONT!

    Southern Magnolia replied to Student4_life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One thing to keep in mind though is that many programs do not look at cumulative gpa. They look at prerequisite gpa. For the program I've applied to you need a 3.8 or better (based on history) - that...

  18. Rio Salado, is it really that bad?

    Southern Magnolia replied to SandraAZ's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am taking pathophysiology right now from RS online. I wouldn't say it is difficult as far as getting a good grade . . . My quizzes are open book and can be retaken as much as you want. There is a...

  19. Study question for HESI entrance exam at CAC

    Southern Magnolia replied to S00N2NURSE's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The study guide is a good representation of the topics covered. The A&P was the hardest section for me (but I was told each school can adjust the difficulty of the test and the topics they wish...

  20. I aced the test! Now how do I get home?

    Southern Magnolia replied to Mully's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm. I'm in trouble then because I haven't started nursing school yet. I started this after my 1st baby. My husband and I joke that I some how gave my babies part of my brain because I am definately...

  21. Who's still waiting?

    Southern Magnolia replied to ksm84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm still waiting. I think I have another three weeks to wait - based on when they did notifications in past

  22. WANTED: Nursing student tidbits of advice

    Southern Magnolia replied to KellRrn2b's topic in General Students

    I know this is old but if anyone else comes across this and decides to try it there is a much easier way. Look on the web for arm warmers. Cyclists and runners wear

  23. repeated one of the pre-requisite class, still wants to get in nursing school

    Southern Magnolia replied to Mentalageis16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure I understood most of your post. If the problem at hand is that your school says they do not count repeat grades for prerequisites then I guess that's that. You need to 1)confirm with an...

  24. WANTED: Nursing student tidbits of advice

    Southern Magnolia replied to KellRrn2b's topic in General Students

    I'm not in NS yet. Have nothing to add but am half way done reading this thread and want to make sure I can find it

  25. Anatomy & Physiology Portion of HESI

    Southern Magnolia replied to RadioSue29's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Yes that's the one. Oftentimes the lymph system is lumped with immunity or circulatory system - I'm not sure if that's what the study guide did but I think I remember an image with the lymph system...
