Five years ago, I was almost the same exact situation as you. I didn't graduate from high school; I obtained my GED. My youngest daughter was a month old when I started taking online classes at the local community college. I hated the online classes,...

I'm in my last quarter of my BSN program. There are four weeks until graduation. During this rotation, we are supposed to be focusing on prioritization, organization, and time management. My university calls it an immersion;” it's supposed to be li...

Thanks for the suggestions and encouragement, everyone. Aside from the marbles (haha), I'm pretty much doing all these other things. It's hard to get super familiar with a patient when they're only with me for an hour and coming out of sedation, but ...

Just finished second semester!! Taking a well-deserved break. Our cohort is half-way done already.

So, how is everyone in the summer 2014 cohort doing the first week? I don't know about anybody else, but I feel a little overwhelmed by all the new stuff that they're throwing at us. I sent my husband a text saying, "Been real nice knowing you, I'll ...

You can have four course in progress. However, if you have five left to do, you can petition to apply while missing that extra course. That's what I did, and they approved my petition, but they wanted me to have that fifth course done in 8 weeks, so ...

I just looked on ASU's website about the added fees. Yes, it appears that there will be an extra $1750 in fees, in addition to all the other fees and tuition, every semester. "Program Fees: All students advanced to the TPCNP, whether directly admitt...

A few weeks ago, I attended the "How to Land you First Job in Nursing" presentation at the ASU downtown campus. I took a lot of notes, and there was a lot of good information that I thought I would share. --------------------------------------------...

Yeah, I noticed that. What is it? I thought that the $750 "Tuition UG Nursing" was the tuition differential for nursing. Is there going to be an extra $1750 EVERY semester?

Maybe they'll tell us at the welcome meeting in a few weeks?

Yep, I'm going. I'm fortunate in that I have an on-call (more or less) grandpa that watches the kids, and my husband and I each have our own cars. I need to find a couple of car-pool buddies in the east valley. Look at the parking pass prices! If I c...

Yep, I registered last night. Today, I'm looking for books. Did you sign up for the presentation tomorrow, "How to Land Your First Job in Nursing?" Seems like there could be some useful information in there.

I received an email tonight with the list of classes that we are to sign up for. Looks like a busy summer for some of us!

Does anybody know what the white official CONHI polos are for? Is that what we're supposed to wear to class on non-clinical/non-lab days? I guess I'll find out in a few weeks, I'm just curious.

Now to find some non-see-through white scrub pants. I gave away my last couple of pairs to the Goodwill after CNA class.

Don't forget; we need to have our "intent to enroll" forms returned by this Thursday.

I got provisional acceptance too! Summer program, my first choice. (No clue what the cutoff score was. How do we find out? )

I got the email last night, too. I'm delivering the form back to them in person, because it's just too important to trust the fax machine, and they don't want it mailed.

Yeah, I called them on that letter on Friday. The girl told me that it was a "poorly worded and confusing" letter that was also poorly timed. I really felt like an idiot. On the plus side, she did check for me and told me that I was still in the runn...

Well I'm out of the competition. I received a rejection letter this afternoon. "While the committee is unable to offer you a spot within the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) prelicensure program, we are pleased to offer you admission into Pre-Nur...

Yes! And I also received a financial aid letter from ASU this morning as well.

I turned in my application on Tuesday. My selective GPA is 3.65, and I score an 85.3 on my TEAS, so my advancement score is 1.7655. I had a couple of petitions that I'm hoping won't hurt me too bad (one last minute class and the final Hep B shot). Go...
