That's good to hear that others are taking it and it seems to be a good program. I think the courses are $289 a credit hour. The foundational classes are A&P I and II, English Composition, Intermediate Algebra and Microbiology. I am almost done with A&P I and I start II in Dec. The only other issue one might have is that they are accelerated classes, so we did A&P I in a quarter as opposed to a semester. It becomes quite a challenge to have a lecture on a chapter on Monday, and then be tested on it the following week!

I am currently in the foundational courses, and will be taking core classes in Dec of 2010 if I stick with them. The cost per credit hour is much higher than PPCC and I just found out that PPCC does not have a waiting list anymore. They are going to admit people like NAU: it will be based on your GPA of your 5 foundation classes, plus points for things like experience, CNA classes, etc. I would investigate both if I were you.

I enrolled in NAUs nursing program because of the huge wait list for PPCC, but I'm concerned about their accreditation status. Once I finish the RN program, will I be eligible to sit for state boards, and will I be eligible for hire? This is all confusing to me as I have heard many different opinions about the NAU program. Thanks for any feed back you can give.
