NAU- Tucson Traditional BSN (Fall 2011 Hopefuls)

U.S.A. Arizona

Published

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.

NAU Tucson- so sorry to hear that. You have a great attitude though. You could always reapply for spring. Sometimes the timing seems perfect to us but isn't the plan.

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 hear you. I have never been to Yuma but I've lived lots of places and I've found I can live anywhere if I know it's only for a little while. Also, in case you aren't aware I was told that the final semester you can have your preceptorship in a different city as long as NAU has an agreement with the hospital.

Fingers crossed for Tucson for you though.

Beegee - you thinking about heading to Yuma for the program? NomadMama - hoping you'll get your info early on Monday morning!

Unfortunately mail runs in my neighborhood about 2 pm. Thankfully it's been a busy day and I'll be busy cleaning up after the holiday tomorrow. I did dream last night that I didn't get in and I had to go to school to be an accountant ( don't know what accounting has to do with anything).

I'm intruding on your Tucson thread again :)

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!

Ha, I hijacked your thread lots:). It's not over till you get the letter so don't give up yet.

Hopefully tomorrow. First class mail is 2-3 days so if you don't get something tomorrow I'd call.

Thanks.

I saw your question about Yuma - just FYI you can see the class schedule through myNAU/Louie. The fall schedule has been up a while. They can always change it but at least it'll give you an idea.

It's a no for me...I'm bummed to say the least. I definately will try again in the Spring, and cross my fingers for the PCC waiting list to bump me up their list again.

Rats! So sorry but don't give up. I'm sorry I don't remember if you has classes in progress . . . If you did that will be an automatic bump up for your score next go around.

Take care.

I am taking my last prerequisite final for Microbiology on Friday. I know it was my prereq GPA that was the problem. I am not giving up though. In fact, I'm googling LPN programs as we speak to help me start somewhere now than later. Does anyone know much about the LPN program at PCC?
