NAU CEP at Paradise Valley CC?

CinDRnyc · Jun 22, 2012

hi have you looked at the maricopa nursing website?? concurrent enrollment program

on that site is everything you need to know about how to get admitted and apply for the program at any maricopa community college including pvcc. i was just accepted for the mcc/nau spring 2013 program and take my 1st set of nau classes in the fall.

best of luck to you !

p.s. i read that article and it says "they all get jobs" ummm that isn't entirely accurate b/c there haven't been any graduates of the cep program yet. i think i was told that the 1st group "guinea pigs" have 2 semesters left. the market for nurses right now is not very good and it is hard to find a job but hopefully when we graduate it will be better. :up:

Yep I have looked at everything on the site. Aside from the New 2013 application, PVCC appears no where. I am just hoping that the CEP will be ready to go for Fall 2013 at PVCC. All that construction they are doing now is for the new nursing labs. Cant wait to see it!

you won't see specific details like a schedule or anything but if you look at the nau application, pvcc is a choice to rank so yes it is an option. i know someone that is going to pvcc in the spring for the cep. they will most likely put up a fall 2013 application soon. have you been to a cep info session?

Nurse Rob · Jun 23, 2012

Yes, I have already been to an information session back in March. No mention of PVCC, although ------------ the nursing adviser at PVCC had previously mentioned "we could have a CEP course here at PVCC" but I thought that was just a pipe dream of hers.

Also, back in March they told us that they are no longer requiring letters of recommendation. Still required?

I am going to assume that Fall 2013 CEP admissions will be in February?

CinDRnyc · Jun 23, 2012

Yes it will probably be in Feb, maybe even earlier so keep checking the application status page so u can register for it. No u don't need any letters of recommendation.

Well I got a response from PVCC and it is not good news for me. They are not participating in the CEP program for Fall 2013. I asked for clarification on if Spring 2013 was just a trial run or if PVCC will only do entrance into the CEP in the Springs only. I do not mind waiting an extra semester, but I will be bummed if I was really 9 credits away from being able to do the CEP program at PVCC's new nursing labs.

I will update with any response, in the mean time, Ill finish my prereqs.

Quick to respond:

"We plan to do this every Spring semester....20- seats for NAU CEP and 10 seats for traditional nursing students. The application dates for the spring 2014 semester will be in May 2013.

Seriously? That sucks. Why don't you just go to Scottsdale CC then? I'm not sure waiting a whole semester to go to PVCC is worth it....

I mean if you REALLY want to go to PVCC then I guess wait but it sounds like if they only do it every Spring it will be more competitive and I don't know what your grades are....

Keep us posted! :redpinkhe

Any new news on this? PVCC would be my college of choice as it is closest to my home!

I really don't know anything about PVCC I go to Gateway, but I do know the CEP Fall 2014 application PVCC was NOT a choice if this helps. I would call and talk to an advisor and see when they might be starting.
