  1. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    Actually they changed the pre-requisites on January 1st 2008. So lots of people were asking about the pre-requisite and co-requisite requirements at the infosession. We were told that as soon as you can apply to MCC you can apply to BNF. They also sa...
  2. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    I don't know if any of you guys knew this but besides being on the waiting list for the Maricopa Nursing Programs you also need to have finished BIO202 and BIO205 in order to apply to the Nurse Fellows program. When I went to the info session last Fe...
  3. CNA QUESTIONS, please help!

    I took my CNA classes at an LTC facility so I did not get to choose where I did my clinicals. I think that if you go through a community college you can choose between a couple of facilities that your school offers. About the clinicals, I didn't get ...
  4. BIO 202 at RIO (online)?

    I took BIO201 online at Rio over 16 weeks. It was terrible. I enjoyed every other class I've taken online, but not this one. Maybe combining it with CHM130 and ENG101 was not a good strategy either. However, I still got a high B and ended up doing ok...
  5. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    Anyone else applying for the October cohort?
  6. Psy 101 Online

    I took this class through Rio as well and passed it with 100%. It was by far the easiest class I've ever taken. Every other week you write an essay about something from the 2-3 major parts that you found most interesting. You don't even have to read ...
  7. Net

    You can't even apply to nursing school unless you score 50% or higher in math and 60% or higher in reading. However, it shouldn't be a problem, it's not the hardest test you'll ever take and decently prepared anyone can score at least 70%.
  8. About getting CNA job at hospital in AZ

    Yes, put all your previous job experiences on there, even the non-medical ones. They can still inquire about your work ethics and standards even though it wasn't a job in the medical field. Also be sure to list any classes that you took that look goo...
  9. About getting CNA job at hospital in AZ

    I got my CNA training through a LTC facility and did not have a hard time finding a job at a hospital after that. I think it took me about 2 weeks from the time I started sending out applications until the day I actually got hired. Make sure your res...
  10. ASU vs. MCC Really?

    In the end most employers care only about whether or not you have your licence. When it comes to getting a job in critical care, I think your best chance is to work as an extern in critical care - no matter what program you're in. Your BSN will actua...
  11. Cna & Pct?

    I was trained and licensed as a CNA. I was then hired at a hospital that mainly used PCT and they trained me there. Because PCT's don't need a license, there is a vague job description. It depends from hospital to hospital - certification is therefor...
  12. Advice for a foreigner, someone?

    The timeframe for pre-req's depends on whether or not you are going for AAS or BSN. Usually 2 years is plenty for the pre-req's for the AAS. However, for the BSN 2 years is the bare minimum in most cases.
  13. Do I have to get the Hep B again?

    As far as I know, they don't require you to get vaccinated here in Arizona. They do strongly suggest it, however. But unlike MMR, it's not REQUIRED. I'm not sure if they'd prevent you from going through nursing school and working as a nurse because ...
  14. Advice for a foreigner, someone?

    Hi Char! I moved to the US from Belgium about a year and a half ago. I'm finishing my last pre-requisite for the nursing program in April. I know how intimidating it may seem at first... I was in college in Belgium, studying linguistics, but I hated ...
  15. BIO202 during Summer I

    Hi, I'm registering for BIO202 at Mesa Community College during Summer I. I've never taken an accelerated or in-person class before. The class only lasts four weeks but the class meets four days/week from 10am until 3pm. Has anyone ever done this be...
