Verah interesting........

Looks to me like it's a separate application process. Don't know what the wait list is like for it, but for those of you on the waitlist for the RN program, it might not hurt to apply here too. You qualify.

Same to you! Good for you having a positive out look! You cheered me up. Thanks! :yeah:

Exactly if we don't face the waiting game now it would happen. Like me waiting for a day position at work. We need good attitude for ou

Future patients too

oh ok so study the core values, gotcha, thanks for the help, but yes the greatest idea was going through this lpn program then easily transfer to the rn program then be in that pool of 2,000 ppl for the block 1 of the rn program, the waiting list is getting there for the lpn program as well, people are catching on, im just soo gratful of getting into the lpn program and starting. all these nursing waitlists were getting me so stressed out.

SweetJen.. how long ago did you apply?? How long did you wait?? Congrats!!

The catch for the LPN fast track jumping in to block 3 is this, you have to work for a full year as a LPN before you can get into block 3. I'm also trying to get this done faster and the waiting is killing me. I have all my pre reqs done I'm just waiting to get in. If you wanna do your bac you can do that with UofPhx and they only require you to have worked 3mths as an LPN and it's a little more work but it's a way in. Now with the private schools everyone keeps saying that it's so expensive just remember if you can get finicial aid it pays every bit of it so dont worry about the price it pays off in the end making more money then you did before you had your degree.

Good luck everyone :D

i believe you got misinformed. on the advanced application, for maricopa it even says for pn graduates from a maricopa community college system, have to apply for the 3rd block by 6 months or they'll have to do extra pre reqs for the regular advanced placement applicant. so why would they have that on there, if you wouls have to work a year before applying. it doesnt make sense.
