My fiance' and I applied and we are waiting, waiting, waiting. Backup plan, GCU's MSN in nursing education until I can get into a DNP program. ASU and UofA are my two options. Didn't get my application in for ASU this go-round though.
I've been an RN for two years and recently switched jobs. I love my new employer but really don't like the unit I'm on. At my first nursing job I was precepting students, gaining confidence in my skills and getting about as comfortable as you can be ...

You can expect to be in class two days a week and in clinicals two days a week through the entire program. The days will vary depending on what clinical options you have. Lecture days are roughly from 8a to 4p. It changes from block to block. Clinica...

They are reworking the curriculum so things have or will soon be changing. MY experience though. Block one you've got a lot on your plate as you get into your new schedule. You'll be in class two days a week and clinicals two days a week. Most of us ...

I have subbed before and think it's a pretty good option. The only downside... your traditional school year is the same as most other school years so it would be harder to take advantage of school breaks. Sassie.... I can't respond to your message u...

I am in the final block of nursing school... fortunately I'm in the Banner Nurse Fellows program so my tuition is covered but I have worked full time the entire time and I'm in an accelerated program. It's not easy but sometimes you make things happe...

I thought I bombed the interview too... but I'm now a block four student in the BNF program at GWCC. I used to do competitive interviewing in high school (yes, I was a nerd) and this interview was by far my worst. I thought it went so bad that I had ...

Read the suggestions from other peeps... something about you needs to be different from other applicants. Last year they asked the four same questions of everybody and they all revolve around the Banner Mission Statement. Know their mission and have ...

I think they are looking for diversity. My cohort started with several different ethnicities, a variety of previous experience from psych to sales and a wide range of ages. I think I got in because I did well in prereq's, the NET and my experience i...

They just changed prerequisite requirements again at the community college level. Bio 202 and 205 WERE prerequisites in February so they were both required at the time you went to the information session. Trust me, you want to have ALL your co-requi...

I thought the interview was HORRIBLE and I even did competitive interviewing in high school. I was so sure I hadn't made it into the program that I started packing boxes to move back home. When I got the letter of acceptance, I was surprised and had ...

AZScot, you don't need the class. I just noticed they are changing the prerequisites AGAIN for those applying for fall 2008! Now most of the prereq's we needed, are co-req's. I don't understand why they keep lowering the prereq's if the waiting list...
