    HCR 240 prerequisite

    Apple-Core replied to brivsac's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Call their program advisors directly. I could be a glitch in the system, or it could be they don't recognize your classes. I took all mine thru Rio, so not sure exactly, but I can't see why they would...

    Apple-Core replied to Kenmikeade's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Denied by clinical sites, now what?

    Apple-Core replied to Aubs9467's topic in LPN to RN

    I think if it was me, I would speak directly with your instructor whether it would be ok for you to go and speak with the manager of the clinical site directly. If they agree, then arrange a meeting...

    Inappropriate Conversations in the Workplace

    Apple-Core replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, it rarely helps to escalate for something like this, because it becomes a "he said, she said" situation and then you'll get the "perception is reality..." lecture, and the net result...

    Apple-Core replied to jen91's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Same thing happened during the last round of admissions. If you received an acceptance you're fine - you're in - although it is a bit of a shock to get the rejection email

    Maricopa CEP Fall 2018

    Apple-Core replied to jen91's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I don't know if all the colleges do things the same way, but when I did this you have to enroll with an online company and upload all your documents with them. The college will have access to that to...

    Apple-Core replied to hpaige413's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nope - not too old. I'm 45, just started. Couldn't care less, to be honest. In fact, I'd do this if I was 65 if it was what I really

    Does Mayo pay for relocation?

    Apple-Core replied to neurogirl77's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I would contact them directly. However, I do know that demand for Mayo is very high - they pay very competitive wages for one - so I don't think they are so desperate for nurses they would pay...

    Average School Schedule Requirements

    Apple-Core replied to broughden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Average School Schedule Requirements

    Apple-Core replied to broughden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My apologies - I didn't see that in your post. Typical daytime class will be 8-4, and will be a mix of lecture and lab. Then you'll start having clinicals thrown into the mix...again, times will vary...
