   That's super helpful! Thanks!

2. Best/Fastest/Cheapest online programs for BSN and MSN/NP?

   JessLP replied to JessLP's topic in General Students

   Wow! Thanks for the links! I did a search and read a bunch on BSN programs but had a hard time finding any talk of "block" programs that weren't private for-profit schools. I'll take a look through those threads.

3. Single mom wanting to do nursing!!

   JessLP replied to mommy2babyb's topic in Arizona

   I'm not a mom, so take my thoughts with the grain of salt they're worth... but... You're probably looking at 2 - 3 years by the time that you graduate with an ADN. Your son will be 5 - 6 by then. While you'd likely be working 12 hour days if you don'...

4. BIO 205?

   JessLP replied to koalakoala's topic in Arizona

   I took A&P online but could never imagine doing micro online. I highly suggest taking it in person. If you live in the east valley, check out TB (his initials, and no, he doesn't have tuberculosis). He teaches at SMCC, CGCC and MCC.

5. Best/Fastest/Cheapest online programs for BSN and MSN/NP?

   JessLP posted a topic in General Students

   After my ADN, I would prefer to continue my education online as much as possible. I've been looking into BSN programs and am torn about the best option for me. I'm someone who does best when studying one or two subjects at a time at an accelerated ra...

6. Maricopa Skill Center

   JessLP replied to nurse2b83's topic in Arizona

   I started school on Friday at MSC. So far so good, I guess. It's kind of annoying that the first block is basically CNA and A&P stuff, since I've already done both. Hopefully it'll be a fairly easy block.

7. Starting at MSC on Sep 25th and SO NERVOUS!

   JessLP posted a topic in Arizona

   MSC starts on September 25th. Everything is in place. I'm so nervous! I have no idea what to expect! I picked up an NCLEX-PN study guide and have no idea what most of the stuff is in there, so I'm also intimidated by what I'm supposed to learn in a y...

   It is too late to apply for September. The deadline was July 31. They're now taking applications for February.

9. Anywhere in the Phoenix metro area hiring w/ schedules to accomodate nursing school?

   JessLP replied to JessLP's topic in Arizona

   Good ideas for people needing to cut down on expenses. We currently own both of our cars outright and I work too far away to use public transportation right now. I do have a tiny, fuel-efficient car, though. Hopefully gas stays low.

10. Anywhere in the Phoenix metro area hiring w/ schedules to accomodate nursing school?

    JessLP replied to JessLP's topic in Arizona

    I'm able to get more hours at a CNA right now so I'm able to make ends meet, but it's going to be tough. I should be able to get 45 to 55 hours a week. The only down side is that there are no benefits, but I can live with that since it means I'll be ...

    JessLP replied to nurse2b83's topic in Arizona

    I don't know who J and D are. I've only worked with A and don't know about anyone else at MSC. Would you mind PMing me names and numbers if you have them? I would really, really appreciate it. I have two jobs right now. I work in enrollment for a uni...

    JessLP replied to nurse2b83's topic in Arizona

    Thanks for the advice, arizdolphin. I really appreciate it. When you started did your classes start the Monday after class registration? I just got my letter telling me to register on September 25th for classes. I'm trying to figure out when my last ...

13. Anyone applying to Maricopa Skill Center?

    JessLP replied to JessLP's topic in Arizona

    Thanks! We'll see what happens... I must admit that I'm nervous!

    JessLP replied to nurse2b83's topic in Arizona

    Well, keep stressing... the administration isn't seeming like they're on the ball, but they have a super high NCLEX pass rate so it can't be a bad school. Make sure that you keep on the financial aid department to ensure that your packet is handled p...
