I figured someone else would have started a thread by now, but since they haven't I figured I would since the deadline is approaching in less than 2 weeks! I just wanted to know how everyone's application experience is going so far? Hopefully we can answer each others questions and this thread can serve as a place to share experiences especially while waiting for decisions.
I have my background check completed, my fingerprinting is in process, and I'm taking the HESI this week. I am super nervous!
I can't wait to hear from any of you who are applying! Don't be shy :) and good luck everyone!
So what is the deal with the CEP programs? I have a BS already, so would I need to submit an application to ASU/NAU along with the Maricopa application? My only hesitation with the MCCCD stuff is that it can take like 6-8 semesters, but I've heard with CEP if you get in you can start right away.
Yes that is correct, go to any of the community colleges and talk to a nursing adviser because they will give you a list of things that you need to submit such as official transcripts, I think a copy of your bachelors diploma, financial aid, and the HESI tests. If you want tot get into the CEP program you have to enroll for the nursing program and get on the waiting list but ask the nursing adviser that you are interested in the CEP Program they have with NAU, ASU and the other university (I forgot the name :)). Tuition for NAU is 10800 for the entire program and for ASU is 25000. It's a pretty good deal and they require a 3.0 GPA.
If you want to try and make into the spring semester (2016) CEP applications period is end on May early June. You can get good information at nursing.maricopa.edu
My friend's advisor said we should hear this week which is before the meeting next week. It seems like there is a lot of drama though. But I am really looking forward to decisions!
So I emailed my advisor just checking in and she said she doesn't know anything and that I should just watch the webinar next Friday! So disappointed. I went the info session for the CEP program at Estrella and if I had to go that route, I wouldn't graduate until end of fall 2017. I pray daily that I get accepted to GCU!
Are you going to go to that one? I was praying that we would find out today if that's the case, but it looks like we may be waiting until after the seminar/webinar...
Maycation me too. It's incredibly frustrating. If Im not going to get in, I need to know by Monday so that I can sign up for the classes I need for the CEP program at Estrella. It's not right keeping us hanging like this. 😔
