The paid, three-week Nurse Summer Training Program assigns cadets to Army hospitals throughout the U.S. and Germany. This program is designed to introduce nurse cadets to the Army Medical Department and to the roles and responsibilities of an Army nurse. Cadets work under the supervision of an Army nurse and obtain hands-on experience. This one-on-one clinical experience allows students to hone their clinical skills, develop their problemsolving techniques, and become comfortable with developing their professional skills as a member of the U.S. Army Healthcare Team. Being an Army nurse provides opportunities not found in the civilian world. Army nurses also have the opportunity to train and serve in a variety of specialties.

Art Associate in Arts, Fine Art — AAFA 8105 “College Art” is used to designate the curriculum students should follow if they expect to transfer with the Associate in Arts degree after two years to a four-year college or university out of state. The courses which are offered at Phoenix College include the customarily required subjects for the first two years of a four-year curriculum. Students planning to take their first two years of work at a community college should take only those courses in art that are offered as lower division level courses at the college or university to which they plan to transfer. Entering students should always consult the catalog of the college or university to which they plan to transfer so they can determine the specific requirements and select courses accordingly. A student may find that the courses required for the Associate in Arts degree would not fulfill the requirements necessary for the program of study at the university. In that case, it would not be advisable to pursue such a degree.
