Ewilbert: there is more affordable housing in kachina village/mountainaire about 10 minutes out of town

I got in. Yay! My letter was lost in the mail but I called today and they are sending another packet.

ewilbert: umm, unfortunately not really. I looked around on Craig's list and found a place. I do know that there are a few places that include utilities and that can make it a little cheaper in the long run. Yes Kachina village or places more outside the city are cheaper but then you have to factor in that you would likely have to drive to school and get a parking permit, which is not cheap. I think having roommates or renting a room in a house is about the best to bring down price. Sorry couldn't be more help.

dsb_fam: each quarter the schedule changes and during each semester the cohort is split into groups of 10. Each of the 3 groups has a different schedule of clinicals. I also know that it can vary per year depending on what has worked out as far as clinical availability. Sorry I can't be more specific. I can say that typically I had off 3-4 days during the week, though they weren't always in a row. With the days off, they were often spent doing schoolwork. The big thing I would say is have flexibility as each semester the schedule changes and this semester we have a pseudo rotating schedule . . . .class tuesday all day, clinicals most fridays, though some clinicals some wednesdays and/or thursdays. And things may change for you guys next year.

Went in yesterday to apply to NAU's 2.5 year program. I took the Kaplan again for a higher score, so I feel that with my GPA and new Kaplan score, I am definitely in. The advisor told me that the deadline for the accelerated letters was that day. She said that 4 people have already decided not to attend, so she will be making calls on Monday. So....I am keeping my fingers crossed that one of the alternates says no and I am in. Rylin86, we both have a good chance of being called, I can't stand this waiting.

Does anyone taking HCR240 from Rio have any advice on the essays or preparing for the final?

dsb_fam · Mar 2, 2013

The final isn't proctored correct? Isn't it open book/online? As for the essays, my midterm essays were pretty straight forward. My instructor is just big on citing your work. I finish HCR240 through Rio at the end of this month.

I just started the course as well. Human patho in 8 weeks...guess we will be ready for the absn. If you log into the class home page you can actually open the essays, quizzes and finals without submitting them. Hopefully, this will give you a better idea on what to study for.

Anyone on the waitlist receive a call yet? I believe I am number 4 now... fingers crossed. I still have another two to four weeks before I will hear from any of my other schools. Not enjoying the waiting :-(

rylin86, I am seriously dying here!!! Everytime my phone rings I jump like an idiot. My husband said that I should call them and ask if I could sit by the nursing department secretary so that I could keep up to the second on events. HAHA, he is just sooooo funny. Have you called and asked them the status? I don't want to call again and look desperate.

rylin86 · Mar 5, 2013

dsb_fam; I haven't called... I didn't even think to do that :-D I will tomorrow! With the time difference it would be too late by the time I get home from work.

dsb_fam · Mar 6, 2013

Let me know what you find out.

dsb_fam · Mar 6, 2013

Rylin, I talked to them today and the alternate list has changed. They received last minute letters of acceptance and so they are at #2, not #4. So, again we wait.
