Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

U.S.A. Arizona

Published

Hey everyone, I wanted to start a place for people to post and repost about waitlist times, placement runs, and their timestamps.

It is very hard searching for all the information and maybe people will access this thread and keep it updated with information so we all can get some idea on where we stand in line for Maricopa Nursing Placement.

As for me I have a

6/11/10 8:01:32 Timestamp. The placement just ran on March 6th,2012 and I was not placed. On the application website it says that the placement did NOT reach the June timestamps. This will mark 5 semesters that I was not placed (was expecting a 3 semester wait)

I am curious how far the placement ran. If people that were placed during the last placement run (3/6/12) come across this thread and would be willing to post their timestamp and what school choice number (1 through 5) they were placed in that would give an indicator how far away it is.

With almost 2500 people still on the waiting list it looks like it can be a 4-5 year wait for people just now getting on it. :(

Look forward to chatting with all of you and good luck.

Sutherlynn my choices are Mesa Late Start and Chandler Traditional. I was thinking of putting Scottsdale too, but I have no idea what the schedule looks like?? Tommy J what are your choices?

@jaminm my choices are 1-MCC traditional 2-SCC traditional 3-MCC late start 4-Gateway 5-Phoenix College... At this rate i figured the more choices i have the better chance of getting in, even it's my latter choices.. I'd rather start at Phoenix College then wait another 3-8 months hoping my top 1 or 2 choice opens up.. The drive will suck but i just want to get this show on the road...

Nursing is over saturated in AZ. If you are waiting to get in the program, it is likely you will not get a job upon graduation unless you know someone already in the Medical industry. Furthermore, most hospitals are today trying to achieve Magnet status (80% + B.S.N. This means they prefer to higher BSN’s and shy away from Nurses that only have A.S. My advice would to plan to finish (ie. Do all classes necessary while waiting) BSN or try to get into C.E.P to help with finding a job when you graduate. If you have a long time to wait Try becoming a Medical assistant first. It only takes a few months when you have your pre-reqs done. This will garner you respect and allow you to network yourself. Doctors that do rounds in the hospitals have “pull” and can help get you a job when you are done your RN.

My stamp is 06/10/2011 08:02:48AM. I could not believe the wait list so I applied at GCU and ASU. I got into both. I am now in my second block at ASU and will graduate in May of 2014. I have kept myself on the list just to see how long it will take. The whole system that is currently in place for Maricopa Community Colleges is ridiculous! The only ray of hope I see for the future of the program are the CEP programs. They are merit based, which is the way it should be.

I agree! It should be merit based.

Specializes in ICU.

I'm in block 1 right now and the book bundle which includes all the online access codes and the e books was like 1061 and then the tote you need for lab was $100. That doesn't include scrubs and stuff or a stethoscope. The one positive is that's all the supples and books that you'll need for all 4 blocks. Let me know if you have any other questions!

My date stamp is 2/11/2011 8:04:43am. Hoping I will get in on the selection today. Anybody know when they will send out emails to those who were placed?

I was just placed! My time stamp was 12/10/10 8:03:05. I got my first choice-Gateway Accelerated! I would love to hear from others that will be in my cohort..

Just placed! My date stamp was 2/11/11 and I got my second choice Mesa Late Start! Good luck everyone!!

I think when you posted this comment the placement team had not began to place students (they started around 10:00 A.M.).

Have you logged on to the nursing website or looked at your email since? Everyone who was going to be placed today, has been placed.

02/11/11 8:06 timestamp, was accepted for my fourth choice, Chandler Gilbert (accelerated).. UH-OH I have a feeling this accelerated program is going to kick my orifice.. Looks like the two year wait is still holding up, good luck to everyone. Time to go buy some scrubs i start class in May!!
