BSN programs in Arizona?

Published

I'm currently doing my pre-reqs for nursing at a 4 year university in Wisconsin. When I'm done with my pre-reqs my bf and I may be moving to Arizona (not sure where yet). I am just curious as to what BSN programs are out there and how competitive they are? Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Well, off the top of my head, there is

Northern Arizona University

Arizona State University

University of Arizona

Grand Canyon University

& of course University of Phoenix (RN-BSN)

The state schools are pretty reasonable tuition-wise. My tuition at UA was about 4,500 a semester. I believe that Grand Canyon is a bit pricier because it is a private school.

All are pretty competitive. All are good schools.

That should give you a start.

Hi Staylost...Can you tell me what kind of wait if any you had at UA? What was the program like for duration, schedule etc?

I am very proud to be a UA graduate. Our program was awesome. With the exception of 1 or 2, our instructors were awesome--I felt like I was always treated with respect. There is no waiting list. I think that I applied in January & got accepted during spring break for the Fall semester.

The program is no 4th semesters instead of 5 when I went. We knew our clinical schedule the semester before, so you were always able to choose which hospitals you wanted to do clinicals. Never any evening or night clinicals. We usually had 1 full day of lecture a week, usually Monday morning at 8am, with 2 days of clinical.

PM me if you have any other questions.
