Hi, I realize the family member might have made their decision now but I also looked into this school and I would recommend not going. The cost alone for their degree is 85,000+. With interest she/he...

I think this is really true especially for nursing programs. Chandler-Gilbert is on probation, Grand Canyon only has like a 70-something NCLEX pass rate, and Coconino is under fire too. I've heard...
I'm sure most are familiar with the Charlie Gard case. He's a baby with the rare genetic condition mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome, which affects just 16 children in the world. He can't swallow,...

Really sad story. I guess it is in every parent's nature to want their child to live even when science says differently. In my opinion though health care providers should intervene when it begins to...

Maybe not in pain per se (although who knows, & some doctors have said he is suffering if I remember correctly but could be wrong) but with an extremely low quality of life. Can't breathe,...

Even from a religious view - shouldn't the child be let go when "God sees it to be fit?" Clearly the child is kept alive by technology and isn't "God's will." I was surprised to see how many parents...
Hey guys. I'm interested in transferring into Chamberlain after doing some classes at a community college. I plan to at least take English, Math, Psychology, Anatomy, Chemistry, and a Humanities class...
Hey everyone! I'm thinking about applying for the traditional BSN program at ASU. Right now I am taking prerequisite classes at Chandler Gilbert starting in August. Looking on the forums it seems like...

I personally don't want to take online classes. And the ASU classes are expensive either way, so I would rather have the community feel and education in person -- I feel I would get better grades that...
Hi everyone! I have been floating around this site for a while and decided to create an account finally I just graduated high school this year and don't have a stellar GPA - I didn't care about...
Lavender111 replied to Lavender111's topic in Arizona Nursing
That's good to hear - reading the forums I saw a lot of employers looking down on the names of the private for-profit schools like Chamberlain and Brookline so I wondered if it applied to the state...

Thanks for the long reply - really helpful! Before I graduated high school I wanted to do the NAU CEP or transfer over to NAU for the BSN program but the lengthy prerequisites put me off. I didn't...
Hi everyone! I just graduated high school and am thinking of either Chamberlain or a community college program. I've fallen in love with Chamberlain despite the crazy cost There's no way that I could...
Thanks so much! As for the RN-BSN classes, they actually do have that option where I'm from. It's called a CEP program where you take ADN classes at a community college while taking online RN-BSN...

Thanks for the comment! :) Sadly I don't think scholarships are an option at the moment due to my GPA and my family has a relatively high income so FAFSA won't help out either. Of course not all our...

Thanks for replying - I was thinking of both doing the ASU CEP or taking prerequisite classes and then transferring to their BSN program which I heard was hard to get into as a transfer, not the CEP...
Thanks for your comment. I looked up the cost of the CEP program with ASU - taking nursing classes at the community college for the associates while taking RN-BSN classes online with ASU and the cost...
Lavender111 replied to Lavender111's topic in Arizona Nursing
Thanks for your answer! I will definitely do my prerequisites at a community college - I read a comment about how doing that knocked off $35K in the cost I looked up the total cost of the CEP program...

ASU sounds like a great program but it seems transfer students have a disadvantage. And thanks for the tip that's really smart and something that I never thought of! Maybe I'll see you around campus...
