AAS in Nursing and Nursing Program

Published

Hi everyone!

For the past few days, I have been wondering like seriously what is the main difference between the AAS in Nursing and the Nursing program of a community college. Can someone please shed some light with this issue I have, I am really getting frustrated on which one to pursue. :crying2:

Personally, I will choose the AAS in Nursing basically because while I am waiting to be accepted at ASUs (Arizona State University) BSN program I have the opportunity to earn some money (being an RN at a local hospital), also I guess there is no waiting list for the AAS in Nursing program, am I right on this?

Currently, I am completing some general education and MCCD pre-requisites at Rio Salado Community College; when I am done with the FON, CHM, and BIO classes with Rio Salado CC, I will be transferring either to GateWay Community College or Chandler-Gilbert Community College.

So my questions are:

is AAS in Nursing and the Nursing program different or the same?

is there also a waiting list for AAS in Nursing? If so, approximately how many months?

I hope there is no waiting list for the AAS in Nursing because if there is I will have to apply ASAP!:eek:

I will really appreciate your helpful responses , thank you very much! Any suggestions/comments are also highly appreciated!

At my CC once you graduate from the nursing program you get your AAS so it is the same thing. And the waitlist depends on the school you are applying at.
