Ethel Bauer School of Nursing Phoenix

Published

Hello,

I am 27 years old and thinking of switching careers to nursing. There is a new nursing school in Phoenix that opened last year. The cost of the whole program is about 26k but there is no waiting list. The student graduates with an AA. Has anyone heard of this school? Can someonne tell me something about this school and their program? I was told that University of Phoenix and Grand Canyon University does credit their courses if decided to go for BSN.

Thank you for responding ! Let me know once you graduate RN program if the school is worth it, Sometimes after going through those types of schools(trade school) you havent really learned too much. I went through the MA program at Apollo yrs ago,good program,got A's. BUT when it came to the real world I hadnt learned anything,or atleast didnt retain it because it was too much info given to us at once. BUT Good Luck to you ;)

I have only been at Ethel Bauer for two semesters and I have learned so much. I wish people wouldn't judge the school based on it's location. Yes, it's a fast paced program but I do perfectly fine on the unit. They completely prepare us for everything. Good luck, I hope you find the school you're looking for.

Is Ethel Bauer a diploma, ADN or BSN program? IThere is NO waiting list? Does that $26k cover everything (tuition, books and fees) for the entire program? How often does the program start?

I checked the website, but I didn't find what I was looking for.

ADN program. As far as I know, there is no waiting list. Yes, 26k covers tuition, books, and fees for the entire program (5 semesters, 18 months). Each semester is 15 weeks.

Specializes in Pediatric ICU.

YIKES! $26,000 is a lot of money. That was enough of a deterrent for me. I figured I could sit out a semester and save a whole lot of money and go to the community college for my ADN.

I guess it's a good thing there's lots of different schools for different folks' needs.

I'm sorry to bring this thread back up, but is there any news on the accreditation of EBSN? According to their website, they are ACICS accredited, but have they gotten NLN or any other accreditation(s)?

What RN-BSN schools would accept graduates from EBSN?

I was digging around on the AZ Board of Nursing website and as far as I could tell the only accredidation they highlight are the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) and Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). Only about three RN schools are not accredited by these organizations and that includes EBSN and PMI.

Be careful with Excelsior. I will admit that I don't know a lot about the program, but I have heard a lot of states aren't accepting Excelsior grads. In addition, you must have clinical experience before getting acccepted into their program, such as paramedic or LPN.

Excelsior was just under review from our BON. Grads will still be allowed to become nurses, but I think they now require a preceptorship at the end of the program. Also, the program isn't as easy as people will think it is, and holds a low pass rate. It is explained over in the distance learning forum.

Ethel Bauer is in the process of getting accreditation from NLN. They just had their first class graduate, which is why they could not be accredited by NLN before. A rep. from the school told me they should have full accreditation sometime in November, but for sure by 2007.
