I am an ICU nurse in a MICU/SICU ward. We currently use the Morse Fall Scale (MFS) hospital wide to assess fall risk in our patients. However, the wording of the MFS can be challenging with critically ill patients (I.e. intubated, sedated, comatose...

Congrats! Nah, don't be nervous, I'm from CA too, just moved to Tucson in December! You'll be fine! And Flag is an awesome city! If you've never been there before, it's definitely not the Arizona you expect! You'll love it! Go prepared for snow in t...

I don't think so, because I was admitted with those courses in-progress. So I hadn't even received a grade yet for them and I got the acceptance letter.

They will mostly look at your prerequisite grades, especially the sciences. That was my overall college gpa

GPA 3.69 Kaplan 82% overall, 70% science Accepted to Tucson Campus Spring '13

I think you still have a good chance, especially if your volunteer/community service part of your application looks good. Plus, there are some in my class who were 6th & 7th on the alternate list! Some were offered a spot 1 week before classes s...

There's really no one topic to focus on. I would know effects of aging, cell structures and their functions, the heart, neuro... Unfortunately I cannot be too specific due to the fact it wouldn't be fair and I also can't recall the specifics. The Kap...

I took the Kaplan, knowing I wouldn't get accepted into the program because I hadn't completed all the required coursework by the application deadline, so my first Kaplan test was a dry run. I barely didn't pass the science portion (the first time) a...

I am starting my first semester at Tucson in January! Can you give me your opinions of the first semester? What classes challenged you the most and how is the instruction? Do you ever find you have ANY days off during the week?

Congrats!!! Ill see you there!!

Hey Lily,I was just wondering how things are going for you? Have you heard anything from NAU yet?

I got in to Tucson program, real excited to get started!

Thanks yeah I'll be taking some in summer but I won't get them all completed. Oh well! That's how it goes I guess

Good call, Lily. Actually after talking to the nursing coordinator in Tucson, I realized I haven't completed all the required credits for the Cultural Diversity and Human Asthetics blah blah. Anyways I'm pretty bummed because I definitely won't be st...

Yeah, Lily, I'm in the same boat as you. My test date isn't until march 14th, but I'm starting to kind of freak about the test. What kind of stuff are you doing to study? And what are your campus choices for this year? Maybe I'll go and start a thr...

Hi Everyone, Im looking to see if there are any Fall 2012 hopefuls still out there and getting ready to take the Kaplan? Is there already a thread created for this? I was trying to message you, Lily, but Im not sure I can do that with this site ye...

Hey Face! Thanks so much for the reply and info on your classes! I am definitely still up in the air about the program mostly because of the cost and the chance of not finding a job right out of graduation from the program. I think I will be applyi...

I havent taken the Kaplan yet. I'm looking into getting a study guide for it, though. Want to get a good grade on it, but from the last group of threads, sounds like 78%'s are average! So how does that work, with the alternative campus choices? ...

Lily, oooo, competition, I love it! :) just kidding, what campus are you going for? It's going to be interesting getting all this done from California... Praying it works out. Lucas

Hey everyone, This thread is awesome. I'm applying for the Fall 2012 NAU Tucson next year and its been a huge help hearing all the progress you Springies are making. I'd love to hear more as you all find out your acceptances. Also looking into PM...

Kristey, Is there anything you can tell me about the accreditation status at PMI Tucson? I am seriously considering the school but I want to be sure that I wont come into trouble with transfering the ADN to a BSN program. Also, how much help was the...
