Are there any other's planning to apply to NAU's traditional BSN for the Tucson campus for this fall? I just moved back to AZ after a year in Iowa and was planning on doing U of A's 2nd degree program but since it changed to an MSN and the estimated cost is 40K I have switched gears. I actually just discovered that NAU has the Tucson program and I am so glad I did. My back up plan after I decided U of A's program was a crock (IMHO) was Pima. Since I already have a BA in English and Pima's wait is so long that wasn't an ideal situation either.
So, looks like I have everything complete except the HESI A2 and maybe nutrition. I'm just finishing NTS154 at Pima but it doesn't look like that class will transfer for the nutrition requirement. I'm going to fight that though because Rio Salado has a 200 level nutrition that uses the exact same text and has the same course outline as the class I just took at Pima.
Well - good luck to everyone. Maybe I'll see you in a classroom in the fall.
That's just wrong! I got a package the other day from NAU financial aid. I was both annoyed and relieved. I knew it was too thin to be " the package" so I was glad it wasn't a rejection letter but annoyed when I realized that meant MORE WAITING! I have a few virtues but patience isn't one of them.
I don't feel so bad that I was so annoyed with receiving my normal Tuesday throw away ads and another come on from Capital One. The wait continues........
So my wife wanted to make summer vacation plans, I told her no plans until I found out if I will get in. So she called to ask when letters will get here. She was told next week or the next. Two more weeks. You have got to be kidding.
Omg! That is not what I had been lead to believe. So I'll have less than a week to figure out finances. I believe I have to accept or decline financial aid by the 8 th. Hopefully they allow for extensions.
I am waiting till may 13 before I accept Tucson because that's when I may see if I get in or not. I'm in Mesa now so Yumma is going to be a challenge but I much rather finish scool tan wait for something more convenient.
I got my letter today too. I didn't get in. I'm not too broken up about it though. God knows what He's doing and will place me in the right class when I need to be there. Good luck everyone!
I just applied to the Flagstaff campus, but I'm already prepared for not getting in. My prereq. gpa is 3.3, and I have A&P 2 and Micro in progress. Hopefully I'll get something in the mail on Monday...
My backup plan is going back to my old 4-year and finishing my bachelors degree. That'll open up doors for Accelerated BSN programs for me in the future. I started at a 4-year right out of high school, but I went on a hiatus for a year while I took cc classes at home.
Good luck to everyone else! Let's hope we all get some good news!
