Maricopa Community College Questions..

WV

Its only small if you think it is. We all have different abilities and commitments right?

I am dedicated to the process, I have a ton of motivation, I have time constraints, and I hate the income a student makes. I am used to living on a pretty decent salary and we are hurting. I am itching to get this done, so if I can cut a year or two out by taking heavy course loads so be it. The biggest thing I have to watch for is not to take to much and my grades suffer. I am an a student and I would be upset if I received a B because my course load was too big!

What part of the valley do you live in? (besides west)

Your right and I totally know how you feel. I was pulling 17 credits, working a fulltime job and had a six month old at home when I started this. It just got to be too much and started to doubt my ability to do this. So just when I was about to give up my family encouraged me to just try one class at a time, so that's what I am trying to do. I would love to take at least two classes but I am having major surgery next year and won't be able to balance everything. I guess I think about the time I wasted trying to figure out what I wanted to be when I "grew up".

I live in Glendale. I am hoping to be done with my pre-req's in a year and that's if I double up on my courses in the fall. I am so ready for a better career move. What school do you plan on applying to?

I am planning on applying to ASU in the fall for Spring of '09

Glendale huh? I live by pv mall

ASU? Cool! I thought about applying there at some point but at this point in my life the ADN works a bit better for me. I really can't afford to go there but I know lots of employers will pay for you to go back and get your BSN which is my plan. I hope everything is smooth sailing for you. Paradise Valley? I am not too familiar with that area. I have been in AZ for about 3 years, I'm orginally from Chicago.Julie

Maricopa Community College Nursing website now states...

1. 
   
2. Effective January 2, 2008, the Nursing Program will no longer accept provisional applications. Only applications that meet all admission requirements are accepted.

Thought it would be helpful info...

It also depends on where you apply.. I put my app in Aug 2007 applied for BNFP in Aug 2007 got selected in November 2007 to start March 2008 cohort -- I began my pre-reqs in 2004--- so depending on your experience you have now and what classes you have completed .. I have all my pre-reqs, co-reqs and more done.. just keep working on classes while you are on the list too . EVERYTHING counts

Just FYI I finished my pre req's and got accepted to the program in may 07 and got accepted to start the nursing program for Jan 09. a little more than one and a half years, but I could only apply for 2 locations. Hope this helps anyone just starting out.

Congrats!!!! Where are you going to school? I am pretty open on my choices are there certain schools that are quicker to get into?
