   I only got a brief summary of shedule in my packet, looks like all days, and maybe nothing on friday or the weekend. Will find out more on Jan 12th which is orientation. I was placed in the 2 year traditional. Summers off, school breaks etc. About a...

2. Moving to Arizonia

   quotetheraven replied to ToBANurse2010's topic in Arizona

   Jobs are tight here too, all over about the same. So many new grads, so few places wanting to take on the expense of training them. There is a waiting list here too, as far as I was told, one way or another at all the schools. Most of us have waited ...

3. Jobs for New Grads

   quotetheraven posted a topic in Arizona

   I have read so many posts about new nurses not finding jobs, or at the very least not finding the ones they had hoped for. It's this way, pretty much, all over right now. I know it's very disheartening, to wait, finally get in, pass, and then this hu...

4. Mesa uniform color

   quotetheraven replied to quotetheraven's topic in Arizona

   Wonderful! Thank you so much for your reply. I will look for those shoes, not a lot of choices here in Casa Grande, so guess the mall up in Chandler would be a good start; and the price is right. Also will save me from buying a cardigan if we will on...

   Does anyone know what color uniforms are required for Mesa Community College? Can you have a cardigan any color or do you have to have a certain color, type etc.? Trying to get as much as I can before all the rest hits. Alot of stuff to buy that is n...

6. New Student Supplies

   quotetheraven replied to quotetheraven's topic in Arizona

   Aug 8th 2008, around 8:53 in the morning. I was told two to three years, so never gave the time stamp too much of a thought. I got in for the spring, according to what i was told, because so many have dropped due to the economy, no grant money, the p...

   quotetheraven replied to quotetheraven's topic in Arizona

   Thanks, yep, want the most comfortable for the lest amount of $. Things are so rough right now. And too, something that I can wear after schooling. I have found many comfortable shoes in my price range, just none of them were totally white, some smal...

8. New Student Supplies

   quotetheraven posted a topic in Arizona

   I have been told by a maricopa admin staff member, that I will certainly be in class in 2010. Since school is expensive enough, I want to "collect" as many things now; before the tutition comes due, as I can. Shoes, being my current item. I imagine w...

9. Where are we on MCC waiting list? Stamped 4/08

   quotetheraven replied to Calbrunette's topic in Arizona

   Well I'm down for all choices as well, but then so are a lot of the people on the lists. Think about how many finish up the pre's and apply, quite a lot of us. Tons of would be nurses. And that's just counting the students, not the LVN's that decided...

10. What should I do!!

    quotetheraven replied to MS_Woods's topic in Arizona

    Hi, you know it's hard right now for many of us to know what to do. The economy is very tough. I am fifty-four, and have probably another year to go to get in; I am on the waiting list as well. I would really hesitate, to accumulate large debt right ...

11. banner layoffs

    quotetheraven replied to mzloco's topic in Arizona

    Heath care is. But in a depression, nothing is for sure. And that's what we are sliding into; fast. Experienced nurses, will have much more job security than us new grads. But some of them will lose jobs as well. Why spend the money training if they ...

12. Where are we on MCC waiting list? Stamped 4/08

    quotetheraven replied to Calbrunette's topic in Arizona

    Sounds good to me. The coordinator did tell me it could be longer, but so many are dropping, or not getting grants due to the economy. So that could move those of us that can stick it out, up. Right now, I think I am more worried about program cuts. ...

13. Where are we on MCC waiting list? Stamped 4/08

    quotetheraven replied to Calbrunette's topic in Arizona

    Yes, thanks, that helps me. Guess I'm free to go and do whatever while I wait. Hopefully they don't start closing down programs anytime soon, have been following the news. Maybe I should give that up. Always bad these days.

    quotetheraven replied to Calbrunette's topic in Arizona

    Hi, no idea of where we are. Mine was in Aug o8. I have tried calling several times to try and find this out. I keep getting directed to call someone else, then someone else, then am told; someone else will return my call. So far, no "someone" has. I...

    quotetheraven replied to OrthoFNP's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Yes, stop crying! It will give you nothing but a headache. In is in, however it comes about. All the red tape and shifting around the schools do, doesn't count, for you, getting in and getting to the career you want, is the prize. The whole process i...
