CHOA Spring 2016 Residency
Awesome, I am so happy for you! Congratulations!! My top 3 choices were Neonatal ICU, PICU, and med-surg. Honestly, I'm not picky, I just want Children's! I just finished my digital interview this afternoon... My BP is still through the roof lol. I don't think anything can truly prepare one for a digital interview.. unless you are a vlogger on YouTube... I would much rather vibe off someone's energy. :) Good luck everyone!

Nursing Kit for a First Year Student
Hey everyone! I have all of my supplies for labs/clinicals, but I am stuck on what would be the best thing to carry them in. Does anyone have a specific brand of purse/bag/ANYTHING that has made their life easier? I was picturing maybe a cross-body bag, but what is best? Also - What other essentials should I add? I have a stethoscope, BP cuff, hammer, light, clipboard, and pens and sharpies all ready to go into a bag... should I get bandage scissors? Thanks ahead of time for your awesome advice
-
Just curious..what color is your stethoscope?
All black. Murdered out :)

what jobs did you work during nursing school?
Personally, I work at a tanning salon. All 3 companies I have worked for were always flexible with school, and in many ways it is a seasonal job. It will be slow for all of Fall semester pretty much, so they don't care if you work fewer hours. Spring will be busier, but they should be hiring more people for that season. I usually work full-time in Summer. I have also worked as a waitress, and they can be flexible too... but if you had school/clinicals all day, and then go in for your night shift, on your feet, and it's slammed, it becomes a really long day... Good luck finding the best job for you :)

I have no idea. Personally, I was a transfer, with no ASU classes, and they used my transfer gpa. That worked out pretty well for me bc my transfer gpa at asu was higher than my old school. Good luck!

That's a great idea!! I might do that as well. Is it a class that will be an elective that counts towards our major classes?

Unless a nursing elective is available I don't have any prereqs left :/ so maybe I'll have to wait until fall anyway. I forgot about the 6 hours. I was only eligible for loans too. Dang

Yes!! As long as I can get my financial aid situated in time. I didn't add AASU until a few weeks ago, so I don't know of they'll give me funds for summer :/. Is there only one class or multiple times to chose from?

A few years ago there was a horrible glitch with the department mass-emailing the students. It ended up letting all recipients see who got in and who didn't. I think they send them one by one now to avoid that issue. So don't be discouraged yet! Give it a few days :)

My friend applied to the accelerated program and got her email with a congratulations. The emails are still correct though, don't be confused that you haven't received your letter yet, it's all the same! Good luck everyone!!

Do you know what we are going to be doing? Bc if there is a lot of walking I will opt for some flat shoes! I was going to fly as well, but it was going to cost too much for a one day round trip. Looks like i will be driving the 4 1/2 hours!! The hotels were pretty pricey for one night too, so I am coming right back after. It will be a long day for sure.
