Don't you just love these changes? It's all about money folks. By the way, the word is Pima Community College's nursing department staff are not particularly friendly nor do they necessarily care about the success of their nursing students. While I don't know firsthand if this is entirely true, I will say that this has been a ongoing rumor.

I was accepted into the PCC nursing program before these changes were announced. Do they still affect me? I am scheduled to start in Spring 2012.
