I applied Aug. 2013 and my Pima Community College start date is Aug. 2018 !? Needless to say that I will NOT be waiting 5 years to get into an associate program. Mind you I have ALL of the pre-reqs finished as well (even the ones that you can do while in the program but I wouldn't recommend doing that). Best wishes for you but honestly you are better off just going for a BSN.
