   MacMaster replied to FutureRN101's topic in Arizona

   I went to star canyon. They made sure everyone was ready to test. Small class size. They had evening, afternoon and all day options. Their website does not have much info, but if you stop in and talk to ----------------, he was very helpful. Last I c...

4. My story and some questions from a confused older student

   MacMaster replied to Dreamhawk's topic in Arizona

   Fromthe sea---I want to make sure we are on the same page. You, of course are in the trenches, I am not...but I think there is a misunderstanding. I agree with you that there is a difference between PCT's and CNA's (and that PCT's are a higher leve...

5. My story and some questions from a confused older student

   MacMaster replied to Dreamhawk's topic in Arizona

   From what I understand, the pct class is useless. To work as a cna in a hospital (which is typically advertised as a pct position) you will see you just need your cna license from a state approved school. Just look up available pct positions at Banne...

8. Rio Salado Biology

   MacMaster replied to jen91's topic in Arizona

   I also took Bio 1 and 2 at Phoenix College ONLINE and received A's. I like that format much better than Rio. FYI a real good tip is to find audio recordings of Anatomy lectures online. You can download and listen to them on your mp3. I listened t...

9. ASU: what is the "typical" schedule (Mayo vs Downtown)?

   MacMaster posted a topic in Arizona

   I am trying to figure out which program will best coordinate with my husband's schedule so that we are not constantly hiring babysitters... ASU Downtown (summers off OR 16 month program): It is my understanding both of these programs are primarily we...

10. how to schedule class and work

    MacMaster replied to nafrate's topic in Arizona

    Phoenix college typically offers completely online A&P 1 and 2. Very doable. Decent online lab. Much better format than rio IMO. Some students will scoff that you cannot learn A&P online, but if you are a self-starter and put in the effort yo...

    MacMaster replied to azmtnbkr1's topic in Arizona

    You may want to check out Phoenix College's Bio 201 online class. I see there are two classes available for the spring at PC. I took the class from the professor who is teaching the first-dated course beginning 1/14. He seemed to be a fair grader, ...

    I need to take Patho this Spring, online. (In person is not an option for me, although I know most, if not all, posters will encourage in class only for this course). The class is offered online at Gateway and Phoenix ...by profs whose last names be...

    Goodness! Thank you miteacher! I did not know South Mountain did online classes. Like an idiot, I think my original MCC search did not include South Mountain...I will give that a try...what is the format like at South Mountain? Is there just a mi...
