@Mwfan1921 Im about 3 hours North so I would not be able to live at home if I was accepted at SDSU.
The ADN programs near me are highly competitive and require many prerequisites which in effect would add an additional year. (so 3 years for an ADN)
I would consider ASU but I know the required GPA to stay in the direct admit program is quite high. Also not sure if I would get the college experience being on the Phoenix campus downtown. I will have to look at Northern Arizona. U of Utah is on my list. Unfortunately because I have more than 30 dual enrollment credits, I would not be eligible for direct admit. (per their website)They said that they get 250 applications for the pre-licensure program (not direct admit) Def will be applying there. I don’t hear much about U of Utahs nursing program here on CC. I see it occasionally mentioned due to being affordable but nothing about it being a solid program. The school gets good ratings on Niche but I haven’t found much about if their nursing program is solid. Im not one to take Niche too seriously. Admissions said that the average GPA for admitted nursing students is 3.3
