im from san francisco and i already have a bachelors degree in psych.. i've applied to many accelerated programs but havent had any luck whatsoever getting in, which is soooo frustrating when all i want is to get in somewhere so i can start already, im not getting any younger!! maric's asn degree only takes about 15 months if you already have prereqs done and previous experience (i just finished a cna program here in the bay area so that will be my previous experience).. this sounds extremely appealing to me!! my boyfriend's sister went to maric and now she works at ucsf..4 of their relatives were also in the nursing program at maric and it seems they've all had good experiences there.. i am so going to apply to maric! hopefully there will be space for this coming jan 2006..
