I took both, along with the nutrition class and a death and dying class, plus statistics in the same semester. I think it was 17 credits? It really depends on the professors, as well as what your home life is like. My kids were little when I had tha...

I had classmates that drove from the far west valley and the far southeast valley for Scottsdale CC. When I applied originally, I applied to CGCC and MCC because I lived in San Tan Valley at that time and was placed at SCC. I'm not sure if the prog...

I think especially if you work in the medical field, it may actually help you. It solidifies the knowledge you are learning, or you have already seen some concepts used in practice. It's very possible to work and do CEP, but it's not a breeze by an...

Thanks for your replies. It does seem as though the BSN will hopefully just help me get hired quicker, rather than help me pay off my loans quicker. Oh well!
I will be graduating this December. I know some hospitals are more likely to hire BSN new grads, but do any of them actually have a salary difference? I'm just curious, since I will be putting out applications soon. Thanks in advance.

I got my email this morning! NAU/SCC as well. I can't tell if I was accepted to the Fast Track or Traditional program. It didn't mention either in the email.

I got my acceptance letter this morning!!!!!!!! I'll be starting with NAU/SCC this fall/spring. I don't know how to tell if I was accepted to the Fast Track program or the traditional. It didn't mention it in the acceptance email.

Google "krokodil" and let's hope we don't see that here anytime soon. Unfortunately, even when they ban the chemicals in such products, the manufacturers can tweak the chemical composition ever so slightly, market it as "window cleaner" or "tire cle...

I haven't taken it yet. I have until september to take it. It's supposed to be very similar to the HESI which I have taken. You sign up through a company called ATI I believe. But it's generally taken at a GCU campus.

You must take the TEAS for GCU. Cost really depends on many factors. If your pre req GPA is 3.7+ you qualify for a scholarship through GCU of 3500/semester, but you must maintain a 3.5 GPA or you will be bumped down to the next level of scholarships...

I had planned on doing the CP as well, but even though I have everything done, I wouldn't be able to start until Fall 13. I decided to go with GCU and will, upon acceptance, be starting Spring 13 and be done much faster than the CEP. I've had friends...

I know Dignity Health (CHW) requires that ED techs be EMTs. I know that Banner usually takes EMTs as well, but any new ED tech there goes through their own cert process. I did get a job! I just got the call today. It's by no means ideal, but it's e...

I plan on doing the fast track program at AT Still in Mesa. I'm probably going to apply for the HRSA Nursing Scholarship Program. As well as some smaller state scholarships. I have been pondering the idea of joining the Army Reserves, as they have a ...

I had the most amazing teacher for A&P. He has been my favorite teacher of all of my classes. Truthfully, having that great foundation in A&P has helped me through a lot of my other classes. I took FON241 online. It was tedious at times, but ...
