Interesting. Here's an annual report on the status of AZ RN programs.

Hey multi-you got a sticky thread!
Cool post, BTW...
I found this on one of my google searches. It looks like AZ nursing programs are doing better than I thought at increasing enrollment.
NCLEX pass rates for the last eight years, AZ nursing programs:

Here's a change with NAU's RN-BSN program:

The AZ Board of Regents just issued a ruling which allows RN students to transfer more community college credits toward a BSN than the regulations allow for other undergraduate degrees.
Thank goodness they are acknowledging that associates degree RN's have completed far more than the typical associates degree, and shouldn't have to be limited at 64 credits for transfer to the BSN.
Wow, that's great news!!!

That is great. ADN nurses have usually gotten a rotten deal when going back to pursue their BSN. I am glad to read about this change.

Thanks for letting me know! I've update the link to include the latest year (2006) and took out the old dead link.
