The first part of the program takes about 7 months, it's all online. I feel that there are advantages and disadvantages to getting the BSN instead of the MSN, but I feel that in the long run the MSN...

Sorry all, I have been super busy with the program. It's a lot of work! You don't pick your specialty until after you graduate. It's a very demanding program, but I am really enjoying it

Don't stress out about it. Stressing only makes the situation much worse than it really is. It stops you from thinking about other things, I stressed and obsessed so much about being placed on the...

I was placed on the alternate list for GCU's Fall 2014 accelerated program. I was 20 or 21, I cannot remember the exact number. I was offered a spot twice, but I had to turn both offers down. Spots...

I think I was number 21. So if anyone happens to get placed on the alternate list know that there is hope and you have a really chance of making it into the program.

I submitted my application for the Maricopa nursing program. I was a little thrown off too, but in the end I think it was good I didn't get in. A pretty big financial responsibility came up a few...

I applied last session and was an alternate. So if you are not accepted then you are not accepted, if you are an alternate then, depending on where you are on the list, you will be contacted by phone...

They will add more dates. Sometimes it just takes a little while, just keep checking every few days. I got an 85% on the HESI. Also, study biology, if you have not taken a general bio course recently...

You can also look into U of A they have a 15 month program in Phoenix and Tucson, and no entrance exam is required for admissions. NAU is also another good school. They have a 12 month program in...

It takes about the same time as getting your RN from GCC. So you would enroll into one of the CCs here and also enroll into either NAU, ASU, or College of Phoenix. It's cheaper than applying to a...

I'm going to apply to the the CEPs at the MCCCD, my alma mater, the U of A has a 15 month program, and maybe the ASU. GCU was the first nursing program I applied to so it was a good learning...

I applied to AT Still. But I don't think I'm going to play the waiting game with them anymore haha I'm sure you will get in though. But if you're thinking about trying for the Spring or Summer...

I'm an alternate as well, I was a little sad but got over it super quickly! Keep your hopes up, there is always a chance that someone drops. Also GCU is not the only nursing school in Arizona. So go...
IheartPinkiePie replied to ScrubGirl88's topic in Arizona Nursing
There is a chance that you get in. Say you're #3 on the alternate list, 3 people would have to drop out in order for you to get in. With that you won't have the same opportunities as the people who...

I applied to AT Still. It was a party in a package, and it didn't help that I was outside and the wind was blowing so the party kind of went everywhere
