   I can only speak to my experience so far in the program, but in general, I love my cohort and most of my instructors are really great. A couple of the instructors in particular go above and beyond to help us succeed, which is so appreciated in this ...

   I've read on here that one of the main complaints of the Phoenix program is last minute scheduling. We were told that we should not ever plan to leave the area during the semester--even to visit family out of town for a day or two-- "just in case" we...

   Anyone know the policy on rescheduling exams and/or clinicals? I'm definitely not ~planning on missing any, but what of you're sick, or some big life thing comes up? I know some programs have really tough policies on this so I'm just curious. H...

    Hi everyone, I'm finishing up my last 2 prereqs for my ABSN program starting this fall. I'm really excited for it, and also pretty nervous. I took my A&P courses a few months ago and LOVED them. I did really well in them. However, now I'm ta...
