    What should I get?

    I didn't have a PDA in school, but one of my classmates did and she loved it. Had her Davis Drug guide on there and was pulling it out all the time. But, I think a quality stethoscope would be a good purchase. I had a cheapo one that I hated and just...

    Pima Community College

    I graduated from PCC in May and I agree with what CardiacRN2006 said. Get your prereqs done asap to get yourself on the waiting list. I've heard it's 3 years now. I had a pretty good experience at PCC though. I didn't take A & P accelerated, but ...

    Tucson PCC Students~

    Ok, thanks! I guess they go there now, at least according to my schedule. But they did tell us that what's on our schedule will probably change. They can't even tell us what hours we have clinicals until our second orientation, which is the first da...

    Tucson PCC Students~

    Thanks! My schedule that I got from the 1st orientation in June lists VA/NHCU from 9/14-10/6 and VAMC from 10/12-12/8, but at orientation they gave us the impression that these may/will change. BTW, what is NHCU?
