   Don't worry about the Yuma email...I received it and I have done nothing but contact the U of A CON regarding the program. I am two years away from applying, with an '89 undergrad degree from UA. So don't worry! I am watching this thread because I ...

   I am not planning to repeat algebra, but I will repeat A&P. I dropped Chemistry and I am not looking forward to doing that. How long ago did you take the two classes?

   Hekat, a question: What programs are available in Phoenix? And am I understanding correctly that the time in which you finish your pre-req's affects admission into certain programs? The partnership program at Univ of Ariz is very competitive. Eve...

   Hekat and CJ, I work in the newspaper industry, in ad sales. Besides the direction the industry is taking, I am just bored. I have a friend who worked for the Tribune a few years ago, I want to say Sun City edition? Trust me, word spreads quickly t...

    azmomof2 replied to azmomof2's topic in General Students

    Hi RP, thanks for the encouragement. This is the part I am confused about...do most colleges offer the 2 year program? Is it actually called an RN program? I am confused! Can you explain how that works? It is definitely an option for me.

    Thanks, Julz. I picked up my college transcripts today and I am glad my mom never saw my grades! You're giving me a lot of hope, here. I'm ready to start and I have already registered for my first pre-req to start in January. Thanks for the good ...

    azmomof2 replied to azmomof2's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the encouragement. What made you finally decide to make the change? I just can't see myself doing the same thing for another twenty years, and now that I have made a decision to forge ahead, I already feel more optimistic about the futur...

    Thanks, polka-dot. I hope I do well in my science classes, too. I know I am more patient and detailed now. I'm glad to hear that the second time around can be great! I am pretty excited.
