Thanks for your suggestions. Like you, I dislike the purple "core curriculum" and all the select all that apple questions the the study guide. My colleagues that have taken the exam said they used a CD with lots of practice questions, but none of the...

I'm curious wroblow, what did you find out about McKenzie-Willamette?

I am bummed I missed this application window. I'll keep an eye out for the application period to open again in March or April of next year. Can anyone share what they ask for in the personal statement? Thanks and good luck to all of you on your in...

sdk90, I sent you a PM about the Facebook group... Just some recommendations and things to keep in mind :)

Mine still says "application received" on October 30...

Nicole1735, congrats on your acceptances! There are pluses and minuses to both the post-bacc and traditional programs. Both give you a good education. I think the post-bacc is more expensive and it is very fast paced. The summer start traditional pro...

I applied too!

The program is very accelerated and difficult , but you could work part-time. Several students in our class work, but it does make things tougher. Keeping your foot in the door at Banner would be worth it though. You never know what the market will...

While they don't technically take AmeriCorps into consideration for clinical placement, many of your sites will be eligible. One of my placements for the mental health part wasn't eligible, but otherwise all of my time in clinical has counted. You ...

As far as Americorps goes, it is an easy way to get $$ for things you are already doing. There is a lot of paperwork, but nothing that is difficult. You do write essays every month (sometimes more often depending on how often your faculty changes) ...

Thanks for the info. Do you know if I could apply if I haven't taken the NCLEX yet? I would love to try for the February 2015 start date, but I don't graduate until December and won't take the NCLEX until January. I don't see much info on their webs...

Thanks! I found that site after posting my question, but I definitely appreciate you taking the time and adding it here for me! Best of luck to you.

Hello everyone, I am currently a BSN student at ASU graduating in December. This opportunity sounds super competitive, but fantastic! Are you aware if there will be a similar program offered in 2015? If anyone has pointers on where to find out abo...

I agree with ziggy787. The program is intense and the other students are impressive - not only in their academic achievements, but as people in general. We do have a private FB group as did the 2013 cohort. It helps to pull everyone together and prov...

I'm only on step 1! LOL!

Azwannabe, thanks the insight! It is definitely helpful to have some idea of what to expect in the coming year.

Congrats, MrFox! I think the essays play a bigger role than ASU lets on. Maybe that is why it is so hard for the advisors to give us cut-off values and averages since there is some subjectivity to their admission process.

lrothas, the cut-off scores weren't listed in the acceptance letters either, but if you find out, post it here. It would be interesting to know. Plus, I am sure the 2015 applicants will soon be reading this thread and find the information incredibl...

Congrats Shadowbandit1 and MRP85! I got in too! Yipee!!!

Yes, the facebook group is still there. It does take some searching. Private message rtyo1 and he can set you up. Or search for Arizona State University groups and then scroll through until you find the right one. It took me a little while to get...

Congratulations! I feel the same way, but still have a few more days to find out if I have been accepted to the BSN program. I cannot wait until I can hand in my notice (already written it...) and become a full time student again! It scares the be...

The University of Arizona offers a Master's Entry to the Profession of Nursing (MSN) program to folks with a non-nursing bachelor's degree. It is a 15 month program offered in either Phoenix or Tucson.

I should find out next week if I have been accepted to Arizona State University's post-baccalaureate BSN program. The waiting is killing me! Congrats to all of you starting in January! Hopefully I'll be right there with you

I found this link very helpful http://www.trctc.commnet.edu/Div_StudentServices/admissions/documents/TEAS-Vsummarypacket.pdf Good luck!
