  1. Just got in! ! ! Jitters! !

    Some of my classmates have the Droid. The device just has to be able to hold "Nursing Central" software on it. Your instructor will probably clarify in the welcome email she'll send before school starts.
  2. Just got in! ! ! Jitters! !

    Congratulations, Murse Nick. I am finishing Block 1 at Boswell next week. Your teacher will be emailing you a list of things to buy before class starts. To answer your questions: 1. We use the I-pod touch 4g--I bought mine on Amazon. I'm sure you can...

    Shleep, Try posting in the Arizona Nursing Programs section. The following Chamberlain thread is a little more active and recent: https://allnurses.com/az-nursing-programs/chamberlain-college-nursing-448082.html You might find more answers there.
  5. Looking in Scottsdale, AZ

    I used to live in the Anacosta apartment complex in Scottsdale at 96th Street and Mountain View--it is a hop, skip, and a jump from Scottsdale Shea Hospital which is very convenient if you got a job there. The complex is small too, so it's not as lo...
  6. Working in Hawaii

    I recommend reading a really informative book So You Want to Live in Hawaii by Toni Palancy. It provides a lot of insight for us on the mainland who think living in the islands will be just like where we live now except for the amazing beaches in th...
  7. ASU or UNLV [?]

    Sorry that this is late getting back to you--type Arizona State or UNLV into the search window and click "search"--all the threads with mention of these schools will come up for you. I know there's a lot of discussion on this site about admission re...
  8. If you can get into the nursing program by 2011, I would take it. Students are waiting 2 years to start the Maricopa CCs nursing programs. I would be cautious of taking Bio 205 online too--it's an intense class with loads of information to absorb.
  9. ASU or UNLV [?]

    Do a search on this site of each school--I know there are threads about ASU's program and students' opinions of it. I have heard that ASU's program is really competitive to get into.
  10. Cruise ship nursing

    All of the cruise ships that I've sailed on either as a crewmember or guest in the past 5 years either had an internet lounge or wireless connections in certain areas. However, it is more expensive than on land. You usually have to buy some type of...
  11. BIO 205?

    Bio 205 was the most difficult of all the nursing prereqs I took, so I would definitely recommend taking it in-class. I have done well in previous online courses, but Micro encompasses a lot of information that required me to ask a lot of questions i...
  12. CHM 130 online at Rio Salado

    I had a fantastic professor for CHM 130 at Rio this past spring with initials C H. She responded to emailed questions within a few hours--even on weekends--and graded assignments within 2 days. She went out of her way to help me understand the mate...
  13. BSN vs ADN in new grad job hunt?

    Is there an advantage to having a BSN over an ADN when trying to get a job as a new grad in the Valley? What are your thoughts? I know the topic of BSN vs ADN has been debated on this site, but some of the threads were several years old. I was curiou...
  14. Cruise ship nursing

    My company was Disney Cruise Line--however, the medical staff actually are employees of Vanter Cruise Health Services which provides staff for Disney and Crystal Cruise Line. Since the nurses have single cabins, they are allowed to have guests sail...
  15. Cruise ship nursing

    Congrats LZ-RN-EMTP! Please post updates of your cruise adventure! Although I have never been a cruise RN, I worked aboard cruise ships for 5 years prior to pursuing nursing. The nurses on my line seemed to have a great life (4-month contracts, lots ...
