Definitely will pray for her. I hope she pulls through!

Thank you for your reply! That's really cool that you have a tight group. That's wierd that the first week is the worst. I'm used to the first week being easy and just going over the syllabus and stuff. But I'll definitely prepare myself to eat, breathe, and dream nursing lol. It's good to hear that the stories of the difficulty are at least a little bit over exaggerated. I'm sure it will be hard as heck though. It's nice to talk to someone who's living through it. Makes me at ease. So thank you. : )

Hello all. I got accepted into the ASU upper division nursing program for spring 2010. I'm crazy excited, but I'm getting nervous because I don't know what to expect. So I thought I would ask if anybody who is currently in the program or allumni could explain what I should expect and how everything is organized. I've read many posts on here in which people have stated that it is "intense". I've also read many posts describing how difficult nursing school is but an elaboration on intense would be nice. Basically I just want a description on what the ASU program is going to be like in a nut shell. Also, I plan to work only on Saturdays and Sundays if that will work with the schedule. Thank you!!

I am a pvcc student! But I just finished all my prerequisites last semester and recently got accepted into the asu nursing program for January. Good luck on your last three classes!

I went to the american heart association website and reserved a spot there. I took mine last saturday. www.americanheart.org

I am a nursing student. I don't smoke and I am democrat.

I haven't gotten my letter yet but that score means I got in. Yay! I've been out of school waiting for 8 months cuz I've been done with all the prereqs. It's wierd saying this but not being in school and just working is really boring lol. I can't wait to start classes again. For those who didn't get in, i know how you feel. That letter that says we regret to inform you... Is really heart breaking. But you all did really great! And good job on your hard work! Most people don't get in the first time but never give up! I was thinking of changing my major cuz I was So discouraged but I got back up and did it. And remember you can always take higher classes to replace lower grades on your application and start studying the net as soon as possible! I used the net study guide and I also got an arithmetic book unrelated to the net to study fractions, decimals, and basic algebra. There's lots of things to do to prepare! Well I'll stop rambling on. Congratulations to the people who got in! And good luck next semester to the others!!!

Maybe an ultimatum of some kind could work. But scare tactics could go either way; depends on the personality. I'm male and scare tactics work against me when I get into rutts haha. Or maybe once he does take a shower you could "pounce on him". Could give him a boost of self-esteem if he thinks you find him irresistable. Then maybe he would clean more often. Because he might be thinking there is no point to put in the effort to get clean.

There's always those people that are so interested in what other people did on examinations. my thoughts are that they are not interested in what "you" got on the test. They are only thinking of themselves. They're hoping you did worse than them so they can feel high and mighty. And then they ask for you to teach them how you study. Well in my opinion, it doesn't matter how you study. If you want to learn the material and are actually interested you will learn it. If you're just looking at achieving the prize and are not interested in the material it's going to be very hard. Your mind will think it's unimportant information and throw it in its metaphoric recycle bin. I stopped telling people my grades a long time ago. It's a waste of time and energy. I am my own motivation :)

I am interested in either becoming a crna are an adult np once I earn a bsn and acquire a few years of experience :)

I can't stand psychology classes so I know I wouldn't enjoy psych. It frustrates me. I can't see myself in geriatrics either but clinicals could change my mind when I get to it. You never know. I agree with the earlier post about "fixing things" so I'm very interested in trauma or some kind of icu.

I plan to attend Arizona state university bsn program in spring 2010. If I get accepted. I find out in oct

The bad job market is not only in the nursing profession. It's everywhere. People in all sorts of careers are having trouble finding jobs. In this economy, the job market in general is poor. So in my opinion I would not abandon nursing for the job market alone. If it's something you would enjoy doing then stick with it. Once the economy makes a turn around I'm sure nursing jobs will start to open up again. (we can all hope atleast). :plsebeg:

I probably would have said something like, " I understand that you're concerned about your wife's well being. I understand that she's uncomfortable. However, if she would sit still during the procedure she wouldn't have to endure it twice". With confidence but in a noncondescending voice.

I should be starting my my nursing program in January. I read so much about this on here that it's scaring me! I mean I'm sure every school is different in terms of faculty. But is there any way to stand up to them without getting kicked out? I dunno. I just hope that I won't receive the brunt of it being male. But anyways I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this problem. I bet it's especially frustrating since you're a seasoned nurse. Well good luck and I hope it gets better!
