1. asu nursing program

   2ndTime replied to Vmyracle's topic in Arizona Nursing

   I graduated from ASU over a year ago, but I'm guessing that they still do things similarly. You do not pick your schedule. Each semester is predetermined for you. They assign you to a 10 person group...

   2ndTime replied to sprintin2012's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Sprintin - I just want to tell you I feel exactly the same way except our tele floor only has 4 patients, and I just cannot keep up. I broke down in front of my preceptor last night. Felt like such an...

   Damask, I feel your pain. I feel like everything you've said has reflected my own feelings, time flying, forgetting things, interruptions, consults... etc. MANY meds I do not know, and takes me...

4. Will paying for ACLS etc myself help me land a job?

   2ndTime replied to whatdoIdonow?'s topic in First Year After Licensure

   I would say go for it if you are having difficulty getting an interview. I did it right before I graduated. I don't think it helped my get a job, however. I feel like my BSN was the deciding factor in...

   2ndTime replied to Hobberdog's topic in Arizona Nursing

   I am an ASU student, and its a GREAT nursing school. The faculty are wonderful. I know ASU does like to prepare their grads to look into nursing leadership roles, but that does not mean they don't...

7. Reference Letters

   2ndTime replied to 2ndTime's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   Thanks for the replies. I am a new graduate, and I guess I just didn't know what the procedure was. I've had references ask me to whom to address the letter. I thought would be good since its...

8. Reference Letters

   2ndTime posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   I was just needing advice on how to go about giving employers refences. Do you think that they prefer a list of references or actual letters? I have an interview coming up, and I'm not sure how many...

9. Capstone practicum in the MICU

   2ndTime replied to nurseosoks's topic in MICU, SICU

   Wow that was a really thorough rundown. You hit the nail on the head. I just finished my capstone or my school calls it "immersion" in the CVICU. It was amazing. Just another thing. Don't be afraid...

12. Is nursing worth it??

    2ndTime replied to AmandaRose06's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above poster about taking some time off and do something else with yourself. Nursing school is definitely not for anyone that has any self doubt about their abilities and...

13. About ASU nursing critical tracking courses

    2ndTime replied to Neutralman's topic in Arizona Nursing

    No you don't have to use a math. Just like WattleBird said, it just has to be 3 of the 4 science courses and your English courses. Other than those, you just use whatever you have A's in, until you...
