    Maricopa CEP

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

    GCU is a reputable school yes, but it has had some hiccups along the way. However, it seems to have overcome these and is on a roll. As far as I am aware the MSN with them is highly thought of. I had...

    Maricopa CEP-starting December

    Apple-Core replied to candidate 1's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It changes every single semester based on the group applying. Typically CEP will be pretty competitive (i.e. high) because it's a point based

    Unfortunately, no. This is because every year is different in terms of the number of applicants and the average points applying with. I do know that the overall average of applicants for all schools...

    Maricopa CEP Fall 2020 (Applicants for December 1st- January 31st)

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

    There has never been a clear answer given for this, but given that the push is for 80% BSN educated nurses in hospitals then I was told that the ratio tends to favor that, assuming that the applicant...

    Maricopa CEP Fall 2020 (Applicants for December 1st- January 31st)

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

    Unfortunately, this is one of the drawbacks of submitting an application so close to the deadline - it doesn't allow you enough time to make the necessary changes or research your options. It's a...

    Maricopa CEP Fall 2020 (Applicants for December 1st- January 31st)

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

    It depends on which CC you applied to. Offer emails usually go out mid month, others will be more like the 3rd or even into the 4th week of the month. If you receive one, you'll have a certain amount...

    How Soon After Graduation Did You Take NCLEX?

    Apple-Core replied to TONI SLOAN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Definitely suggest taking it as soon as you can. Allow yourself time to study of course, but I wouldn't leave it for months and months. It's a nerve-wracking experience, but delaying it won't make it...

    That is a good question, and I don't know the answer I'm sorry. I do know that a couple of the other hospitals in the area will hold you financially responsible if you break the commitment, and it can...

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

    You list your top 3 choices of units, and they will try to accommodate your requests but it also relies on what's available. They expect a 12 month commitment because that is the length of the New...

    Who wants to hire a graduate nurse at 55?

    Apple-Core replied to RNat55's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Juniper - I have never been asked my age on an application, but obviously they can pretty much see for themselves when you show up for an interview. Even if you look great for your age, it's...

    Maricopa CEP

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

    Each university sets their own minimum GPA. However, it is the community college that decides whether to give you a seat on their course or not. For example, say ASU minimum GPA is 3.5 and you have a...

    Ottawa CEP Group

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

    The program starts in the semester before you start community college. For example, if you start in Spring 2020 (January) with the college, you will have started Ottawa classes in the fall of 2019....

    Apple-Core replied to candidate 1's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am genuinely sorry that you had that experience; as long as your GPA is over 2.0 (I think) and your HESI scores are over 80% English and 75% math, then you are fine for acceptance onto the ADN....

    How did the advisors make you feel discouraged? Were the referencing your GPA or something? Bare in mind that once you apply for the CEP, you will also have applied for the nursing pool so that if...

    Old thread I know, but I have read through and it seems that everyone here was hired "on the spot". Can one assume that if you're not offered a position immediately (on the spot) that you haven't been...

    Each University has their own way of calculating the GPA that they will use for acceptance. Ottawa is actually a 2.5, not a 3.5 as I said above (sorry, my mistake). For their GPA, they use: EMG 101...
