Working during nursing school
14k for PCT training seems unbelievably expensive. It would take you forever to recoup that on PCT pay.

How many of you...
We take the Kaplan every semester for 5% of our grade to prep us for the NCLEX.

So Happy
Good for you!!! I just finished my first year, as well, but am still waiting on grades! Gah...

What is the grading in you school
93-100 = A 84-92 = B 78- 83 = C Below 78 = Failing It's tough to get a 92% on something and know it's a B. Sigh.

NAU Fall 2013 Hopefuls
There is student insurance available through NAU. It's the "major medical" and it's through Aetna. You can get it by semester and it comes out of your financial aid. And yes - sorry, the fingerprints can take a while. I already had a fingerprint card for my job, so I got to just send in a copy of that.

NAU Fall 2013 Hopefuls
No, everything was pretty simple. I had everything done except the TB test (because that has to be done within a certain time period before classes begin) and was waiting around on that before I could turn everything in and get registered. On the nursing insurance you have to wait for it to get approved, so do it early in case there is a holdup. There are lots of CPR classes available - do one that lasts you two years.

Having a nursing student/partner in crime
It will just happen that you'll be closer to some people in your program than others, but it's a really good idea to try to mix it up and be friendly with everyone (even if you still have one go-to "partner in crime") so that cliques are avoided...
-
How many schools did you apply to?
I applied to my first choice and didn't get in, and applied to my backup and did get in (and ended up being so very happy in my backup program that I'm glad I didn't get in to the first school). It's always good to have options. Programs are getting hundreds of applications for just a few slots.
