1. Any ideas on how to finance a 2nd degree?

   AZmom replied to Emptynstr2's topic in Pre-Nursing

   1. Do you own a home you can pull some equity out of? 2. If you rent, find a cheaper place to live once your lease is up. 3. Does your college offer scholarships or grants?

2. On-Line Classes through WI Tech Schools

   AZmom replied to nbrody's topic in Wisconsin

   How do you like A&P through Moraine Park? Are the exams proctored? What kind of labs are there -- are they all done over the computer? I need to take it soon, and it's looking like online may be my only option. The two schools nearest me offer...

3. WI tech colleges -- do credits expire?

   AZmom replied to AZmom's topic in Wisconsin

   Thanks everyone. I guess they hadn't worked through all my transcripts when they sent me the notice out. Everything I wanted to transfer did (mostly the general stuff). Whew! My Chem is only good for 5 years from my application date, but thankful...

4. Apache Junction Nursing Program?

   AZmom replied to Knit1Purl2's topic in Arizona

   I moved from AJ a year and a half ago and now live in WI, but I recall even back then, there was talk of opening up a nursing program at the AJ campus. I'd give them a call and see if that's come to fruition. Could be...

5. CHM 130 on RIO advice?

   AZmom replied to Mama2grlz's topic in Arizona

   I took Chm130 through Rio a few years back and earned an A. However I didn't work (SAHM to four preschoolers) so had the time to devote to it.....somewhat, lol. I spent 20+ hours each week on the course, and it was my only course. It helped tremen...

6. Anatomy and Physiology I online? Ever Done it?

   AZmom replied to Luv2helpppl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Rio doesn't have a very good reputation in regards to A&P, from what I've read here. I lasted about a week before dropping. I agree with others -- Rio really drops the ball on this course. That said, they are GREAT for many other courses. Ju...

7. I need Psychology 101 HELP!!! Rio Salado

   AZmom replied to aawilwcb's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I began to take it there a few years back and dropped. I felt the professor wasn't very helpful and the course was a joke as far as learning anything. I'd taken CHEM through Rio previously, learned a lot, and managed to earn an A. Didn't feel I c...

8. WI tech colleges -- do credits expire?

   AZmom posted a topic in Wisconsin

   I received my transcript evaluation from FVTC the other day, and only 3 courses seemed to transfer (only one of them applicable to the nursing program: SOC 101). I have a BA from UWM (obviously 120+ credits) earned 10+ years ago. My English (I too...

9. Healthcare CPR training...

   AZmom replied to mysunshines0307's topic in Arizona

   The AJ Fire Department offers it the first Saturday of every month I believe. There are also a few programs in East Mesa. A friend of mine mentioned......Heartsavers? I honestly don't remember if that was the name or not, but it was in East Mesa an...

10. Apollo Nursing School

    AZmom replied to Mayaquice's topic in Arizona

    For some reason I'm thinking it's a very new program. I don't believe they've even had a graduating class yet; perhaps they haven't even started a class yet.

11. Anyone taken or taking Bio 201 online at Rio Salado??

    AZmom replied to IwannabeaRNAZ's topic in Arizona

    Wanted to add.....Multi, I think you just convinced me to not attempt Micro through Rio. I'm going to see if/how I can work it into Spring semester, or sometime thereafter even if it takes me longer. I just received the text, so I can study ahead. ...

12. Anyone taken or taking Bio 201 online at Rio Salado??

    AZmom replied to IwannabeaRNAZ's topic in Arizona

    I started BIO201 at Rio, but dropped it two lessons in. It was just too difficult (and I had taken an online science before, so it wasn't that). Too much concentration on the piddliest of details, so much so that I felt I might lose myself in the d...

13. Help! Any CNA Classes under $500?!?

    AZmom replied to FlyMurse's topic in Arizona

    If money is tight and you are willing to slow it down a bit, you can get a much better break on your tuition. By taking 7 credits or less through MCCCD you can be classified as an unclassified student, and you pay........gosh, I forget, but it's onl...

14. please help with location...

    AZmom replied to dlaura22's topic in Arizona

    I'm not sure you will be able to find what you're looking for out here. At least not in the Valley. Some of the smaller, non-metro towns have character, if that's something you'd consider. I'm a former Wisconsinite myself, born and raised there. ...
