   tofunurse replied to mom-of-3's topic in Arizona

   Unfortunately, FA is an obstacle at MSC. When I began 7 months ago, I was required to put down $1,200 (which I had to borrow from my dad). I qualified for a Pell grant and I also took out a loan. It took the school 4 months to give me my deposit back...

   You are given scrubs (two sets) in block B. There are 3 blocks. The reason they don't give them to you in block A is because we don't start clinicals until block B. And yes, they are yours to keep, as well as the books. There is a small on-campus lib...

   Yes they do look at your NET scores. You will def get in with your scores. I scored higher in math than I did in reading-I don't remember the exact numbers, but both my reading & math scores were in the 80s/90s. They are a lot stricter now than t...

   Hi there. I am a student at MSC, I am in my second block (the LPN only has 3). The school does have some issues but probably nothing more than any other college. The books come with the cost of tuition, so they are yours to keep. However, I have spen...

14. Vegan Diet - Healthy?

    tofunurse replied to Lily C.'s topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry, I misspoke. What I meant to say is I am OK with a person who chooses a meat-based diet. I do not judge a person by what they eat. For me personally, eating vegan is a spiritual decision, based on my values and ethics, which of course d...
