    Looking for Online Microbiology Course withLab

    Apple-Core replied to gmacri's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Don't know if it will be acceptable for your BSN, because it's a 200-level class, but I did my microbiology plus lab 100% online with Rio Salado in Arizona. Not sure of fees for out of state, you'd...

    Posting resident info on Facebook

    Apple-Core replied to FashionablyL8's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Good Grief. YEs it's a HIPPA violation. I cannot understand this burning desire to put everything on social media. It is beyond immature. I fear for our future

    Ok - take a deep breath! So - there are basically 2 different nursing programs with Maricopa colleges. One is the Associates degree (ADN) and one is the CEP which is a concurrent Associates with a...

    Associate or Bachelor degree?

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

    Just wanted to say, your age is not an issue whatsoever.....tons of people go into nursing in their 40s, 50s and even 60s. I'm, 45 and just starting

    Utah Nurse Wubbels Reaches $500,000 Settlement

    Apple-Core replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    I agree with the above post by NotAllWhoWandeRN 100%. She didn't actually sue, anyway - she was paid the $500K as a settlement for NOT suing. By the time Uncle Sam has taken his chunk and she's given...

    Do you know for sure it will be done on application date if there are people with the same scores? I'm wondering whether there are some other parameters that they might bring into play? There is...

    Utah Nurse Wubbels Reaches $500,000 Settlement

    Apple-Core replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    I think the payment was made so that she would agree *not* to sue. I have to say , if I was offered half a mil to *not* sure, I'd take it! Good for

    Patient's "right" to abuse nurses...I need your opinion

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

    Nobody has the RIGHT to abuse anybody. If your manager really did mean that (it could have been a case of super-dry "humor"), then that is taking the whole PC thing too

    this is why I want to call off on my last day

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

    No way would I call out just to "show 'em who's who". That places the potential future of your hiring in their hands. While I feel for you being ostracized, which in itself is immature and ridiculous...

    Why is nursing school so expensive!?

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

    Look at community colleges. I'm in my BSN degree right now, it will cost about $20K all in by the time I graduate because I'm going via the community college. No way in heck I'd pay over $100K,

    Is ADN nursing degree good to find a job?

    Apple-Core replied to mikefilmstudent's topic in Male Nursing Students

    If you are considering a move to AZ (sounds like you are because you mentioned ASU and UofA) then there are other options available to you. Let me know if you'd like more

    Drug Calculation Questions Need Answers Please

    Apple-Core replied to anita jones's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I really don't want to come off as being rude, but I am honestly shocked that you are having problems with this absolutely simple math. That is quite alarming for a future nurse BD? Do you mean BID?...

    Taking A&P 1 and Intro to Chem together?

    Apple-Core replied to Aa1Bb2Cc3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did exactly that, and it was a nightmare but I passed. It depends on you rather that the actual classes themselves. If you can manage your time and study hard, you'll be good. If you procrastinate...
