   Hello Nurses! I am beginning a CNA program soon as I continue to wait on the VERY long RN school waiting list... A stethoscope is required the first day of class for CNA training. However, I was pretty shocked with the prices (online) for stethoscope...

   lilmac81 replied to lilmac81's topic in Arizona

   uggggh...I survived the online Bio 202...and it was AWFUL! I will never take a course through Phoenix college again. The entire class was failing at one point because the instructor completely changed the syllabus, test format, grades, etc... If anyo...

13. Which Maricopa CC has shortest wait list?

    lilmac81 replied to lilmac81's topic in Arizona

    I completely agree with you! I have a hard time paying so much money at Chamberlain or even Grand Canyon...when the community college program is under $7,000. I figure, 2 years will pass by me anyway, I might as well wait and hope that I get in soone...
