NAU- Tucson Traditional BSN (Fall 2011 Hopefuls)

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.

I am also interested in applying for the Fall 2011 semester in Tucson. I'm currently taking BIO205 and PYS240. I've been studying for the HESI A2 exam in February. I'd really like to attend the accelerated BSN program, but I am not willing to move from Tucson. I've also looked at the U of A's program, but agree that it is too expensive for what it offers. I'm on Pima Colleges waiting list too, but would rather have a BSN. Hope to learn more as tiem goes by. Good luck to you.

Jen,

Wow I was starting to wonder if I'm the only one. Then I thougth maybe people don't know about it and I should keep my mouth shut;) J/K

Sounds like we're in the same situation. I'm done with prerequisites as long as they will take my Pima nutrition. I think it's going to be a fight but the class I'd have to take at Rio that they will accept is the SAME exact class - same book and everything.

The dates aren't out for the HESI yet are they? When I spoke to an advisor before Christmas she said they'd get them posted after the 1st.

There is also an information session on the 4th. Have you done one? Is it any new information? I'm hoping to be able to go through all my transcripts and make sure I'm good to go.

Well, best of luck. Hopefully, we'll be in class together come fall.
