If you fail a class (could be for any reason) & have to do an appeal don't bother. Dean McInerney will deny it & give you no explanation as to why. Which in the states they are to explain the denial. None of the chain of command cares. They may listen to you but ultimately they will side amongst themselves. The class credits are non transferable so you will have to start over at a different school. So, just imagine being so close to the finish line working so hard to accomplish a lifetime goal, to it being ripped from you forcing you to start over..if you have the mental capacity to do so. Nursing school is hard already, but these leaders in charge solely care about themselves and a paycheck. Couldn't care less about the emotional and mental trauma we endure in nursing school. Don't waste your money or time.

When someone thinks of Arizona State University, they often think of the Tempe Campus and a large…read moreschool experience. What they may not realize is that while that experience is great for many people, yet others may be looking for a different experience. The ASU West Valley Campus is much smaller than the Tempe Campus yet it's a community where every student has the potential to feel connected with resources and to know many students, staff, and faculty by name just as many faculty and staff can really get to know their students well. It's growing at a fast pace and has transferred over the last decade from a commuter campus to a residential campus with more than 1100 bed spaces in two residence halls and one on-campus apartment complex. The ASU West Valley Campus just turned 40 years old, and in my opinion, it is the most beautiful campus of the many ASU campuses as it includes fountains, gardens, artwork, and so much more. In fact, I've heard before that it was designed in the image of Oxford. It attracts not only students from other campus who choose to take classes at the West Valley Campus but community members to come onto campus for the many special events that are open to the community. Recently, the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences spearheaded a wonderful event open to students, staff, faculty, and community members called the Winter Wonderland, bringing a winter festival experience to the ASU West Valley Campus as more than 1500 people attended. As the campus continues to grow and expand as a part of the West Valley Forward initiative, the number of buildings on campus continue to increase. In addition to academic buildings like SANDS and CLCC, a new building will open soon. There is a University Center (UCB) with many ASU student services represented inside along with the Barrett (Honors College) office, the Sun Devil Campus Store, a Multicultural Communities of Excellence space, Cafe West, offices for student organizations such as the Undergraduate Student Government (USG) and the Programming and Activities Board (PAB), an art space, various other spaces available to reserve both large and small, a future student space, and more. There is the Fletcher Library with its own Starbucks, the three residential communities, Changemaker Central, a marketplace with Jamba Juice, an academic building with faculty offices (FAB), an ASU Police station, facilities offices, a lecture building, the Kiva Auditorium, the Herberger Youth Scholars Academy building, a thriving field space, and a beautiful three-story Sun Devil Fitness Center. Needless to say, there is something for everyone on the ASU West Valley Campus. At the West Valley Campus, every student can drive their own experience as they engage in the events and resources on-campus while attending classes, getting an on-campus job, landing an internship or full-time job, joining clubs and organizations, attending many free events and activities, and so much more. The Dean of Students Office and the many student services offices at ASU West Valley are always there for students, and it's easy to find your way towards graduation and your future when taking advantage of these resources. I look forward to seeing the continued growth on this beautiful campus in the coming years!

I graduated High school a year early and started at my local community college at age 16. I started…read moreat a major corporation at age 17 for a few days until they realized they had changed their rules to age 18 so I waited a few months until my birthday and then began working. In the meantime I completed my associates degree at my local community college. We had a UOP down the street from work so I started there for a BS in business. I was given a position they considered as working out of classification meaning I should have a degree, but still allowed me to have the position with full pay since I was attending college. The hiring manager sat me aside and told me to drop UOP and transfer to ASU. I was really young and he wanted to help me out. I was kind of like everyone's kid there. He said if I wanted my degree to mean more and wanted to be taken seriously, then I should make the move. I was happy to oblige as back then we didn't have computers at home, and after attending classes in the evening at UOP I then had to meet with classmates in person for group projects several days a week which was wearing me thin. Working in north Phoenix and spending most of my time at work I decided to attend ASU West. Their main campus was too far with all the hours I was already putting in. I was able to complete my MBA with a minor in Business Communication with ease. I sure wish we had online classes back in the day, though the cost for tuition has increased a lot since the 90s so it was worth the brick and mortar experience. Our company paid for most of my tuition with an annual education allowance so I mainly just had to cover my books. I didn't feel I missed out on the large college social campus experience, as I didn't feel at home in that environment. I recommend talking with job fair recruiters on their thoughts based on what direction you are heading for your career. If you are getting into the medical field make sure to find out what the requirements are for the state your planning on work in so you do not waste your time heading a direction that doesn't meet their requirements. Talking with anyone at any age still thinking about college, think of it as an investment. Not just a character building investment but a financial one as well. Are you going to be able to earn the money you put into your education? I seen a lot of older individuals going back and choosing paths that do not have many opportunities, or they will not be able to get the financial investment back in income to cover the years of schooling they paid for. Just something to think about. Over all this school looks good on my resume, their class sizes were small, the counselors were very helpful and knowledgeable, and for me the location was perfect. I liked the smaller campus like my community college.

I really like the campus is a secure one that there is no one gaining access without proper authorization. The teachers appear to truly enjoy their jobs and are eager to teach their future colleagues.

My family and I took the CPR and AED class over the weekend. We are expecting a baby so we all…read morewanted to be prepared. Scheduling was easy and Tyson is responsive to questions over Yelp as I wanted to make sure there was child and infant portion of the CPR class we would take. Check in was simple and the classroom was set up already. It was roomy and comfortable. The bathroom was tidy. There were posters all over the walls which went over some common misconceptions people have about rendering aid, like you can't be sued if acting in good faith. There is a storage space for your belongings which is great since half of the class is hands on, on the floor (as an emergency would be also). I am very pregnant (delivering in a few days) and Drea was quick to offer me accommodation so that I did not have to get on the floor. They also didn't bat an eye at my refusal to partner with a lady who had coughed and blew her nose through the entire introduction video, and accommodated her separately. It is unusual for me to do something like that but now is not the time for me to get sick and they didn't make me feel bad for it. There were some videos playing in the room before we started, which became confusing for my family because they were put out by the American Heart Association and promote hands-only CPR. It made my family think that we were not going to learn rescue breathing. I explained that I thought it was a space-filler for while we were waiting to start and that the current recommendation by the AHA is hands only so less people would be afraid to help. Tyson later explained this issue during the class as well. The class does indeed cover rescue breathing. He also explained how and why some things we learned in past CPR classes are not recommended any longer. The actual training videos were well made and did not seem outdated. The dummies were very cool because they were electronic and had lights to show you if you were doing well enough. Their chest rises so you can see and feel what a strong enough breath is like. I struggled to do 2 minutes of CPR. It was reassuring to work on a dummy with feedback. It was also great to work with a practice AED. I'd never touched one before and they seem scary but after learning how they don't just go off unless someone pushes a button, I felt better. It was good to be able to work with the infant dummies also and to practice hitting them on the back for choking, and chest compressions to see how much pressure to use. I realized I needed to tell my mom to be sure to hit my child harder if mine started choking! My dad realized he better get an AED for the cabin because my mom won't be able to do much chest compression if he were to need it. All in all a well-run class and business.
