    New CEP Rubric for Maricopa

    Apple-Core replied to Lavender111's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I *wish* I'd had a rubric available when I applied! It was all shrouded in mystery before the release of this new data!! I think the GPA scoring system is probably quite similar, but now it's also...

    Gateway CC waitlist Or Maricopa Schools

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

    Exactly what MissyT says... 2+ years minimum for traditional, quicker for CEP but you'll need to check rubric as it changed. Plus check whether the school is 100% CEP. Seems a lot of the outlying CCs...

    Offended a coworker

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

    I agree. I know often times people suggest ignoring it, but I have been in toxic work environments where it becomes hard to even concentrate on your work because you can sense the

    How to tell parents i'm not going to pharmacy school?

    Apple-Core replied to RNintraining817's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're moving out, I personally wouldn't worry too much. Mind you, it's easy for me to say - I left home 30 years ago, and while I love my parents I couldn't care less if they disapproved of any...

    What Should I Do?

    Apple-Core replied to lecole01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on when the cut-off point is for applying, and how well you personally can handle a heavy workload. I had a similar situation and ended up taking 4 classes at once. It was a nightmare, but...

    Apple-Core replied to Darveaux5's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yeah - same for me, work and kiddos. I blasted out 4 classes, it about killed me, but it meant I made the May deadline! Rio has sign ups for classes every Monday, I thought? Can't you enroll

    Can I be discriminated against for political beliefs?

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

    My personal advice would be to avoid discussing politics, sex, religion - in fact, any controversial topics - at work. Freedom of Speech does not protect you from the freedoms of others to form an...

    BIO 201 @ Rio Salado

    Apple-Core replied to Darveaux5's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I actually agree - although I took them online, I think if you have the opportunity to take them in person, that is the better choice. I didn't have a choice due to work and family commitments, so I...

    BIO 201 @ Rio Salado

    Apple-Core replied to Darveaux5's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes I did. It's hard, but totally doable. The exams are in person. The weekly quizzes are online, and therefore open-book, although often they are timed so you can't hang around searching for answers...

    Spring 2018 traditional selection

    Apple-Core replied to Amae_11's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm thinking that might become the case in the years to come. Some of the schools are already 100% CEP. Those that are generally more centrally located have a portion of ADN and CEP, but I wonder how...

    Just another "no friends in nursing school" rant

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

    I can assure you if you were in my cohort you'd have at least one friend! I can't stand seeing people being left out, it really bothers

    How to tell parents i'm not going to pharmacy school?

    Apple-Core replied to RNintraining817's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it was me, I'd wait until I was accepted based on the fact that you will be financing your schooling. Aside from anything, pharmacology will be *really* helpful for you as a nurse, so nothing is...

    If you don't get placed for Spring 2018, it will due to the wait-list length. Everyone who applies for the ADN who meets the requirements will eventually roll around to the front of the line, and...

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

    When I went to the orientation before applying, they really encouraged us to aim for a high 90% for HESI in both math and English. You can re-sit 3 times a year, with a 60 day wait time between each...

    Hi Kaylynn - I just received an email (at my Maricopa email address) a couple of days ago about orientation for the college. Mine in mid November, and it looks to be about 4 hours long. What college...

    Ooooh - the scoring system and rubric has changed quite a bit from what I was previously told! Looks like you can only select 2 colleges (it used to be 3). The nursing advisor I spoke with said that...
