Hi! I am new to this site but thankful I've found this! I have been trying to do research to locate some sort of accelarated RN program in the Valley. I already hold a Bachelor's in Biology and am trying to find something along the lines of a 1-year accelarted nursing program. Does anyone know if there is a school like this here in Phoenix?? Or am I totally crazy for thinking I could find a program like this?
How can a student take A&P I, A&P II, Microbiology, Statistics, Nutrition, Human Development, etc all during a summer pre-session?
Note that I said "necessary" pre-reqs. Some of the courses that you've alluded to aren't considered pre-reqs, but are built into the program, so in essence they aren't required to be taken beforehand. If someone has an interest, consult the individual program's websites for further info. The curricular plan of study is outlined there.
That is really interesting! I didn't know that programs exist that don't require all these pre-reqs plus more to be completed before beginning the program.

Yes, they are quite interesting! I think that it's a good indicator of how forward thinking that nursing education programs in other areas of the country are, and how far behind that Arizona is lagging.
One of the best aspects of MEPN programs is that because they require a BA for entry, they attract a wide range of students, with diverse educational and experiential backgrounds, into the program. A class might have students with undergrad degrees in Science, Education, Business, Law, Psychology, Liberal Arts or Social Public Programs. It brings to the table numerous opportunities to learn and collaborate, making the pedagogical process quite enriching!
