In was in a bridge adn to msn program in nursing school, I have a bachelors degree in another field, and it was near impossible to get a job. Employers, for whatever reason was BSNs. But by the grace of God I got my first RN job without advertising t...

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 will be more beneficial.

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 :)

I'm currently in the program, message me if you have any question!

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 alternate list that I was not able to enjoy my fam...

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 will become available, so don't worry. The advisors ...

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 months afterwards, so I'm not too sad :)

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 if a spot becomes open. But you will only be offer...

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 should focus on that area. I applied to AT Sti...

The chemistry section was not terrible, I can't remember much about it. I took it in May, but I do remember that it was nothing to stress over :)

They don't give you one, but you won't need a periodic table.

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 Flagstaff and a 2.5 year program in Tucson. NAU is als...

That's a pretty good deal. I'm going to apply to the U of A, the MCCCD CEP, and maybe ASU.

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 University and there is no waiting list at all.

Congratulations on getting into GCC! Which university did you choose for the CEP?

I hope you get into GCU! I'm going to contact my adviser and hopefully they will let me know my number on the alternate list. Just out of curiosity.

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 experience. I am more comfortable with the whole applicati...

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 semesters talk to your adviser and kindly ask what crite...

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 though with everything and you never know, you may...

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 were accepted, like you will be notified short notic...

Have you called your adviser?

Congratulations!! Which campus did you apply to?

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 haha

I just got mine too!!! AHHH
