  1. Got interview for methadone clinic!

    I just finished one week; going on second. So far so good. This is my first job as an LPN so the dosing is brand new but chemical dependency is not. I thik I am going to like it. It is taking a bit to wrap my head around changing one addiction to...
  2. Is this a wise choice??

    I will enter Block 3. Still have three classes to take, Bio 201, 202, and Algebra. Just started them so will end in May. Enough time to get in Gateway in July. Since the LPN program didn't have any pre-reqs, got right in and did some pre-reqs dur...
  3. Health Unit Coordinator

    Hi, I work as a HUC for about 5 years. I really enjoy my job (at times). I started in the ER which is totally different than the floors. Very, very easy in ER. Floors are hard. Now it is great experience towards your nursing degree. You will la...
  4. Is this a wise choice??

    Just my two cents.....I just graduated with LPN from Maricopa Skill Center. Took some pre-reqs while going. Will sit for NCLEX in a couple weeks and work in home health for the next year. Work on P/T basis at $40.00/hr and keep F/T job which will ...
  5. MSC LPN program

    You better believe it!! We all have to stop and tell ourselves that often......As someone said here - it's like a roller coaster ride. Sometimes you just have to throw up:eek:
  6. MSC LPN program

    I don't know what I'm going to do. Had plans to finish pre-reqs by October but dropped my 201 because Block B was so overwhelming. Also, our graduation was moved to January. There are some very unhappy people now in Block C. I'm just trying to re...
  7. MSC LPN program

    You'll get in urstrulii......don't worry. Did they say when they would notify you that your application is complete ...or did they already do that?
  8. Maricopa Skill Center

    I'll have to check out Southmountain and see what they have. I'm right with you on getting into accelerated spot. The school will help you out also with that and remember we are a Gateway school so there are always spots there. The problem that we...
  9. Maricopa Skill Center

    Hey Smileyperson, Welcome to Block A. Block A allowed me time to get a couple pre-reqs out of the way. I still need 201 and 202 and just can't seem to find any (except Rio online). Block C will end in January so it looks like I am not going to ma...

    Hey JessLP, You should have no problems in Block A. Teachers are great and since you are a CNA, that really helps. Good luck. If you have any pre-req's to do, now is the time to get them out of the way. Block B will hit you like a brick wall!!
  11. Maricopa Skill Center

    I took 092 during block A and 205 during block B. Block B is really time consuming and a lot of studying but I made it. I started 201 a few weeks ago and just can't do it anymore. This program is really demanding of time. As long as you can put your ...
  12. Maricopa Skill Center

    Hi cmi528, sorry to take so long to answer. There are no prereqs for this program. That is one of the positive things about the program. As for the scheduling, it may change but Block A is m-f 8-3. We did get days off here and there but it was re...

    I don't know how to pm. Forget the A now. You are pretty much done with him. Ask for the secretary "J" or the acting director of the nursing program "D". Call the school and ask for the nursing dept.
  14. Maricopa Skill Center

    Our start up date was delayed. The secretary should know. Call J. and ask and tell her you need to schedule your work. To be honest, I am not sure when we start Block C. We have a date on our calendar but you have to be very flexible. Things are...
  15. Maricopa Skill Center

    Starting Block C on the 8th or 9th. Hang in there. Things are confusing but it is well worth it in the end. Keep focused on your goal and stick with the positive people. This program is easy to get caught up in all the negative bs that goes on......
