I don't see why not...just not sure what the competition is. The problem is isn't credentials...its the amount of people that are applying. I know over 2 yrs ago when i was applying, there were 850 applicants and at that time they accepted 120 students. I am not entirely sure of exactly what their deciding factors are or if they even have one. The program is great but the administration is highly disorganized!

I grew up in Jersey...but right outside Manhattan....Secaucus...then moved to Manhattan..then moved out to Hoboken in Jersey. I am def planning on moving, either to San Diego or Pheonix but I am so worried that as much as I want to leave NY, the culture shock and cut in pay is going to be an adjustment. I tried living near Detroit a few years ago and couldn't take it! But NY has lost its oomph to me since I've been here so long. I need to see different things! Starting salary for RN's here is averaging $68K.

Hi guys... I'm a 28 yr old new ADN RN grad trying to decide if Pheonix/Scottsdale is the right place for me. I know about the weather and all that stuff...but the cost of living compared with Manhattan is really what I was unsure of..as well as the night life and just life in general. I also wasn't really sure what the annual base salary of a new grad ADN RN in that area would be. Can you advise? I went to school in Manhattan and was raised just outside of it my entire life...so I just want to see if by high cost of living...it is possible to exceed Manhattans? God, I hope not!!! I'm also very unfamiliar with the territories of Pheonix, so if anyone could kinda give me a run down of how it is seperated and what the difference is, it would be great!!!

just so u know...Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing is a 2 yrs accelerated RN program that is affiliated with Pace so after graduating, all of the credits can be applied to Pace's and u are an RN in 2 yrs instead of 4.

I'm a student at BI...graduating in 2 WEEKS!!! If you have specific questions, I'm sure I can answer them. I know that they have soooooooo many more applicants this year and they really only take about 130 students per year and at this point, prob have a waiting list. My lil sister took the entrance exam and did everything and they sent her a letter a month ago saying she wasn't accepted. Basically, if they call u to interview, your next goal is just to impress them because your almost in! If you took then entrance exam, you prob should have had some type of response by now like my sister had! The school has an excellent accelerated program but like everything else, there are always kinks! My BEST advice is that if you plan on going there, although u dont have to, u should DEF take ANAT 1/2 and MICRO BEFORE going there. It is the same prof for all three classes and she is INSANELY intense. She writes textbooks and her micro class was the hardest class I've ever had in my life!!! I have nightmares about it! Other than that, I am THRILLED to finally be done!!!:nuke:
