Rio Salado Online Nursing Program

Hello:

I have been on the waiting list for one year this October.

If there is anyone who has gone through Rio's [COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]online [COLOR=green! important]nursing [/color][COLOR=green! important]program[/color][/color][/color] (Blocks 1 thru 4), can you please shed some light on the program for me?

Are the classes "over-loaded", meaning does Rio require more than other 9 [COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]nursing[/color][/color] MCC programs?

Can you please describe the clinicals, times, days, etc?

And how does the program work with regards to teaching you about lab work, such as drawing blood? Do you read about it first, then learn the "physical" work at a clinical setting? Or do you do this type of learning at a lab?

What do you think about your experience at Rio? Was it a good learning experience?

Sorry about all the questions, but I am seriously considering selecting Rio as one of my choices and possibly my first choice. This October, I will have been on the wait list for one year. And I have taken all my prerequisites through Rio, therefore I am familiar with their program.

Thank you so much...I really appreciate it.
