@m.higgins5 not trying to be your doom and gloom, but if you are starting your last couple of pre-reqs in September, you most likely will not be in the muring core for November. Pre-reqs are 8 weeks in length and your courses need to be complete before starting the core. I am currently taking my last pre-req with them (course ends late sept) and plan to start core in November. I my am not too sure on application date, but I believe this round of applications are due by August or September for the November core start (again don’t quote me on that exact app deadline). My assumption would be that if your pre-read don’t begin until September, you would start in the next core after November start, but best to contact the advisor at aspen for confirmation.

I think it truly depends on the person!! It takes a lot just to get through school...so it’s not like someone just waltzes in and makes a decent salary; they have to put in the time and effort to ge there. I will be honest and say as a middle age nursing student who has been a zookeeper for over 15 years, one of the things that drew me to nursing was the salary. Don’t get me wrong, there are many other things that drew me in as well (variety of jobs, flexibility, challange, etc), but my main reason for switching careers was because I was sick of living paycheck to paycheck and going year after year not getting a raise because I “topped out” at $16.47 am hour. I think as long as the nurse has the knowledge and skills and does a decent job, who the hell cares why they became a nurse? I have seen plenty of nurses who had “the calling”, only to see them treat patients like *** and not to their job appropriately.

I applied to CGCC this past round and did not get in...my rubric points were 83.7. Granted every round has different applicants, but CGCC has one of the lowest numbers of student placements (from what the advisor told me, they only had 32 seats in the cohort while most other schools have 36-45 spots open in each cohort).

At least for block one, the schedule mostly ranges from 2-3 nights per week (5/5:30 to 9/9:30), then Saturday lab all day 8-4:30. Near the end of the semester when clinicals start, the lab day goes away and clinicals are either on Saturdays or Sundays, with a couple Thursday simulation option days. The instructors are fair and to the point. They care, but also expect only the best from their students. (It's nursing school, so it isn't easy!!) Feel free to message me on here or send me an email missy439 at hotmail and I am happy to send a copy of the schedule to give you an idea or to go into further detail. Good luck!!

I took the course last summer...assuming things have not changed, you do not need the online access code. An older text will be just fine and for most of the work I used other previous course texts (A&P, micro,etc) for my references and citations. Take a breather...the class was fairly easy, just time consuming with some basic research and writing.

Arizona is a bit odd; unfortunately, there are huge waits for both on the plus side, of you get your LPN (two semesters) you can transition to a BSN within community colleges or universities with ease and finish the last two semesters.
-
Where do you live? If you haven't already, you may want to look in to central Az college. It's in Coolidge, so it's out of the phx area, but if you live on the east side, it's closer than some of the west side options. And, they don't have a wait!!!

I can see that you are in AZ, so you have some great options!! I am also in AZ, so I understand what you are going through. In my opinion, its all about timing and money. Yes, EVIT is expensive, but I have heard they have a great program and there is no wait. CC is cheap in comparison, but the wait is ridiculous!! If you can afford the EVIT route, I would say go for it. In Az, once you get your LPN, you can easily advance to the CC LPN to RN program for block 3 and 4 and complete your RN. If you are set on getting your BSN, all of the Maricopa CC's offer a CEP option so you can obtain your ASN from them and your BSN from a cooperating school; many to choose from. I am actually looking in to EVIT because I could start next semester rather than waiting the 2-3 years on the waitlist.

I was just accepted and will be starting my blocks this fall. Although with each semester things are changing, 20 points seems to put you in a good spot for acceptance. This was the first time I had applied for CEP (but I have been on the traditional waitlist since Sept 2016) and I got in to my first choice (Gateway evenings). It will always be very dependent upon what the other applicants also have, but this past round it seems people with as low as 16 or 17 points got accepted at certain locations. Good luck!!!

Currently, the additional UIU pre-reqs are CIS 105, a public speaking course (COM 225 or 281), a social science course and an arts/humanities course. I would recommend checking out the CEP website. The requirements are listed in each schools brochure. As for the hybrid course times, they can fluctuate. In the past their were multiple options. One of my friends was able to choose a daytime or evening option for her most recent course (both were offered one day per week for a few hours)

I took HCR 240 before completing micro...the pre-req for HCR 240 is EITHER Bio 202 or Bio 205, but not both. I was able to enroll easily in it, but I had to phone Rio to enroll so that they were able to confirm my transcripts were sent I took the pre-req (you cant enroll via their website for the class, you have to call their registration line).
