That's awesome! I have my 1st interview tomorrow! I just got the call today. Any advice? What kind of questions did they ask you?

A few people I know went to a recent information session said Feb 7th was the deadline. BUT keep in mind, you can only apply if you follow their specific steps. 1- be on the maricopa nursing program waitlist. 2- only those on the waitlist can see and register for information sessions. (They fill up fast) 3-you have to then go to a specific advisement transcript evaluation session so you can apply. It is a competitive process for the concurrent program bases on gpa and hesi a2 scores so it is different than the normal process. I'm in the first group and I am loving it! Good luck!

Congrats!!! We started today and took NUR 330 over the summer. It is going to be a great program!

No problem. I like to help. I actually did not have all my pre-reqs complete and was accepted on provisional status, meaning as long as my classes were complete before the program started, I was fine. They only wanted people to come to the January info session who were done, but I went anyway because I needed a plan. I met 5 other people in my shoes and most of us got in with a good gpa. I have had to take 17 credit hours this semester, but it will be worth it not to wait. Now that so many people are interested, it will only get more competitive. Many of my current classmates are adding summer school in so they can apply for the schools that are doing it in January.

No I just got on the waitlist Dec 2010. Most of the people that got in had been on it for a year or more. I was planning on applying to ASU for the fall which is why I already had a lot of the pre-reqs. I only placed myself on the waitlist as a back up plan and when I heard of this program, I was excited because it is cheaper and closer to me. For this program, at least for now, the waitlist time/date stamp does not matter. Your hesi A2 score, gpa and pre-reqs are what matters, similar to ASU and GCU except you take the TEAS for admission at those schools.

I had a 3.72. Not very many people jumped on the first info session which was surprising, so I know one person with a 3.0 who actually was on the alternate list. Just work hard and stay on top of the emails they send out because the sessions offered fill up right away.

yes, it is very difficult for transfer students to get in even with a 3.9 that I have! I would say you should either take at least 11 of your 17 pre-reqs at ASU or apply elsewhere. :) Great BSN program though.

You can talk to some of the advisors at the NAU for extended campuses and they have to enter you in the class because the seats are reserved for students admitted into the program. I am taking NUR 330 this summer. Is anyone else?

Have you been to the info sessions or advisement sessions for the new program? they are listed on the maricopa status page

There is one posted now.

The Southwest skills center has an LPN program which is why the have 30 spots every fall for people wanting to go into block 3. Many students do their LPN program then go directly into block 3. I would check it out. It is a nice school with a new nursing building.

There are always openings at estrella in block 3. They told me they hold 30 seats and last fall they still had openings a week before class started.

Hey :) I am in BIO 205 in the hybrid portion too this summer! I have a lot of courses I am finishing up because I start the GCC/NAU BSN concurrent program in August. Going to be a busy summer. I heard the instructor was great also. I emailed her in Feb and she got right back to me. Send me a message so we can go over any questions we have together. Thanks :)

below are the upcoming info sessions. they are already full and there were hundres of spots open. i would advise all of you to enroll in the additional courses and stay on top of any new info sessions. don't wait for an email, check the maricopa nursing website often. your time stamp does not matter. it was determined on how many completed pre-reqs you had done and your gpa. they will add one nau course to each block, for example, the first block we take 10 gcc nur credits and 3 nau nur credits. the nau portion has classes in the summer, but the gcc blocks do not. choose from one of the available information session dates: (default is the next scheduled session with openings. full sessions should be disabled.) scc : mon, apr 18 : 1:00pm-4:00pm : bldg/rm bldg sc, peridot room (209) : 0 spots gwcc : thu, apr 21 : 4:00pm-5:30pm : bldg/rm ch 1106 (auditorium) : 0 spots scc : mon, apr 25 : 1:00pm-4:00pm : bldg/rm bldg sc, peridot room (209) : 0 spots mcc : fri, may 20 : 11:00am-1:00pm : bldg/rm nu-101 : 0 spots

I was accepted also. Nice to meet you :)Have you signed up for the summer class yet or finished up your app to NAU's nursing dept?
