1. Anyone Starting Grand Canyon soon?

   sharonLeighc replied to sharonLeighc's topic in School Programs

   Kelsey- I use my phone on this forum & haven't figured out how to do a private message. But if you send me one I should be able to send you one back w/ some contact numbers for GCU. When you deal with the nursing department directly they are ve...

2. Anyone Starting Grand Canyon soon?

   sharonLeighc replied to sharonLeighc's topic in School Programs

   I know, the nursing people are good but the rest of GCU is a nightmare. They don't return calls, loose paperwork, send you things that make no sense.... It is a very frustrating process. Pretty much everyone who works there is also a student so t...

   Hi Mandee, you didn't miss much at the orientation. Just get the schedule & packet & your photo taken. I'm very excited. I ordered the Gray's Anatomy scrubs. They are SO soft compared to the others :-)And I just got my ugly all white nur...

4. Anyone Starting Grand Canyon soon?

   sharonLeighc posted a topic in School Programs

   Ive been accepted to the St. Joe's fast track program to start in May. Is anyone else starting soon, or better yet been in it for a while? Most of the posts I've found on student experiences are kind of older. I'm excited but really at a loss to ...

5. Everest College

   sharonLeighc replied to glmartin's topic in Arizona

   Well it is scary though because Rio Salado school also lost their accreditation too - thar is part of our community college system.... With the wait lists so long at the community colleges, it is going to get really bad if they will now be losing th...

6. Everest College

   sharonLeighc replied to glmartin's topic in Arizona

   You will want to really be careful. Everest has just lost their national accreditation. I was very excited to start the program too but it, and Rio Salado I think both lost their national accreditation. Right now they are on hold for accepting app...

7. Everest College

   sharonLeighc replied to glmartin's topic in Arizona

   Hi, I want to do exactly what you are doing. I have a BA in psychology and want to go to Everest and then get a Masters. Are they accepting the sciences from Everest or did you do those somewhere other than Everest? Thanks and congrats!

8. HELP!!! Relocating. Maryvale/Scaryvale??????

   sharonLeighc replied to NREMT-P, RN's topic in Arizona

   exactly last post, you have a whole new set of people to deal with. I don't know very much spanish. But I almost wonder if I was in a hospital where there was a lot of Spanish being spoken if I could pick more up. So, I guess that could be a perk....

9. HESI help - for Everest College

   sharonLeighc replied to sharonLeighc's topic in Arizona

   Also, isn't the HESI for people who already have some nursing school under their belt? I'm confused on why it is an entrance test :stone

10. HESI help - for Everest College

    sharonLeighc posted a topic in Arizona

    okay, I'm taking the HESI tomorrow.. how bad is it? I then have to take the Compass next week. I've been out of math classes for so long.. any input would be great. I know my basic algebra but higher stuff is probably buried so deep in my brain th...

11. Everest Feb 08 class??

    sharonLeighc replied to junebugAZ's topic in Arizona

    Kitty, I believe she is the director.. she was so helpful and she also told me that Everest will be starting a BSN... may not be for 2-3 years though.. but that is okay, the program for the Assoc. takes 2 years.

12. Everest Feb 08 class??

    sharonLeighc replied to junebugAZ's topic in Arizona

    I'm in the EXACT same boat as you, I also am concerned about the HESI.. but I'm taking it tomorrow. I also will have to figure out Day Care.. and idealy my son would be a little older before I started (he is 15 months right now) but in all honestly,...

13. Ethel Bauer School of Nursing Phoenix

    sharonLeighc replied to rcidro's topic in Arizona

    I was told that this school is on probation right now with the state board b/c of really bad NCLEX scores. I'm not sure how reliable it is. I went there though and really didn't like the area, and location. I'm sure there are some great people the...

14. Getting an RN in Phoenix Metro

    sharonLeighc replied to sharonLeighc's topic in Arizona

    Hi, How are you liking Everest? I am going to go take tests there Friday and Tuesday for the July class. It seems nice, I just worry because it is so new. Appollo and Ethal Bauer have such bad NCLEX scores that I am feeling like they just aren't g...
