2ndTime

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 and they tell you which course numbers to register...

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 idiot. When I'm giving report at the end of the d...

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 several encounters for it to really stick in my mind. Me...

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 landing my first job. My new manager just gave me...

Phoenix, AZ 26.70, plus $1.00 for BSN, $5.00 night, acute care

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 teach the basic skills. I don't know what you mean by...

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 is enough even. I got an automated response after I...

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 personable, but it means that if I didn't get the job off...

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 to jump in situations such as skills or patient tea...

Hi I am a current ASU student. I'm not in the accelerated program, but the application process is just the same for both traditional and accelerated. ASU recently changed the way they select their students for admission into the upper division progra...

Hi! I have lived in the West Valley my entire life and if I were you I would try and get in the Litchfield Elementary School District rather than Avondale Elementary. Of course there are variations from school to school, but Litchfield has a much bet...

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 determination. You are only 21 so there is no rush. Some peopl...

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 have 13 finished. You should call down to the Studen...

I've heard that those shoes were comfortable. Thanks for the tip. The totally white shoe search is on! We start on the 23rd which is great. Why start on a Thursday?

OK. Thanks for the info. I'll keep that in mind.

I was wondering if anyone knows about the shoes we are supposed to wear. It says that they are supposed to be white and leather. Do you think that it would be ok if they have just a little color on them? You think that they are strict on that sort of...

I got mine early yesterday morning.

.....

thanks for the tip, cna_to_crna2b. :) I finally got my letter today, yay! In the traditional program downtown. So glad I don't have to worry about that anymore... So where is everyone going to be in the Fall?

Congrats to everyone who got in! :cheers: Except I didn't get my letter today... post office is slacking over here.

Well the mayo clinic is year round, so no summer breaks, and the tuition is signigicantly higher during the summer. You still would take the same classes as everyone except the clinical rotations will mostly be at the Mayo campus. I don't know any mo...

The advisor told me 175 applications... so I'm just quoting her. And the applications will be mailed the week of June 14th, so next week! :) There are so much less applicants than previous semesters that they are able to do it sooner.

I just talked to my advisor today. She said there were 175 applicants this semester and that they would be mailing out the acceptance letters the week of the 14th! She speculated that the number was much lower this semester because they were really p...

I thought the same thing too but I mailed mine yesterday anyway. 1st choice-downtown 2nd choice-mayo (I'll take what I can get!)

I really would love to do mayo program but it is just too far from where I live:( (About 45 miles) So I think that I will just choose the regular program. If I get in! Fingers crossed!
