    Oh lord - code brown doesn't even come close. Code "re-decorating the room brown" would be closer some days. Mouth-breathing is an essential thing to

    Every single college/program will be different, so you would be wise to contact the schools that you plan to apply to directly and ask about their

    Tips for older new student?

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

    Hi - I took online classes in order to get all the pre-reqs I needed to apply, and that helped me get back into "school mode". I'm in my late 40s and just started nursing school last year. I would...

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

    Hi - Sorry, I'm not with SCC or ASU, but if you want info about the course in general, I'd be happy to oblige. However, from what I've heard every college - even though they have to cover the same...

    Apple-Core replied to Decisions7's topic in General Students

    If it was me, I would look deeper into why you are being your own worst enemy? There is no excuse for turning up late, and mistakes on paperwork are fine once, but are you repeating them? It sounds to...

    Scottsdale community college CEP

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

    It's not a "good thing", it's a reality. This is a very tough course, regardless of which community college you are in. I'm not at SCC, but I am at one of the other Maricopa colleges and at this...

    How do websites/Apps such as Figure1 make it work then? Not confronting what you're saying - just interested in how it is ok to upload a pic of injury/x-ray/illness to such a site that has a...

    Maricopa CEP Fall 2018

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

    The acceptance emails roll out over several days, so don't worry just yet. Additionally, not everyone who gets an offer of a place will accept, which opens up seats. People drop out right through, and...

    Men not helpful

    Apple-Core replied to Sarah2018's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No - they were referring to the opening poster (their posts are in blue so you can differentiate them), who apparently has created quite a hot topic of convo, but has failed to revisit the thread and...

    Best nursing programs in AZ?

    Apple-Core replied to emily234's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I second gwccstudent - Maricopa community colleges offer an awesome program that allows you to study for you ADN in person with the college, and take 2 years (or more like 2.5 years) online...

    FYI - decisions are made by computer, with the final selection being approved by head of nursing. I had always imagined a group of nursing faculty sitting round a table poring over the applications,...

    Too shy and quiet to be a nurse

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

    My heart goes out to you because I can hear your struggle. I'm not shy at all but both my kids are, so I have witnessed first hand just how painful it can be for them. The USA in particular seems to...

    ADN nursing prerequisites: Online or in person?

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

    I took all my pre-reqs online, and I found them totally do-able. I did miss the classroom environment and camaraderie, and of course you can't ask questions in real-time, but it was necessary for me...

    Is nursing school realistic

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

    I would suggest taking your pre-reqs via a local community college to see if it's going to work for you. Check out which classes are required for entry into the nursing school you hope to attend. Most...

    HI Kenmikeade - This is a pretty old thread, so it's likely the tutors have changed. However, I can tell you that although online classes are somewhat tricky due to having to be self motivated etc, I...

    Are you sure you don't qualify for FAFSA? Could you move in with family (if you don't already live with them) to help out for the 2 years of school? Community college is the cheapest option, and pay...

    Maricopa CEP Fall 2018

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

    Yes, I believe so. They will select the initial class and send out offers. Not everyone will accept due to all sorts of reasons (family, financial, health etc...) so new seats open up. Also, people...
