    CEP school choices?

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

    You're not alone!! - my understanding from looking at my workload is that the only break I'll get each year is a couple of weeks at Christmas between Fall and Spring break, otherwise it is full-on all...

    CEP school choices?

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

    AZBlueBell - Your post was really interesting! For the record, Ottawa arranges its semesters in the same way - it is broken up into 2 terms, each 8 weeks, with a total of 12 credits per semester. I...

    CEP school choices?

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

    Yes for NAU......I believe their minimum GPA is a 3.0 for you to be able to apply for the CEP. But, if you have a 3.0 or above, then you have guaranteed entry into the NAU portion of the CEP IF - and...

    CEP school choices?

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

    The best way to think of it is this - you are competing for a place in the Maricopa CC, NOT the university. As long as you meet the minimum GPA for the university, you will get a place as long as you...

    CEP school choices?

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

    It's quite a personal decision based on a variety of factors, so there's really no easy answer. For example, some CEP students chose ASU because they had a sibling or parent who went there, or they...

    CEP school choices?

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

    The CEP is available at most, if not all, of the Maricopa community colleges. The amount of CEP students accepted versus ADN students varies depending on which community college you choose and/or get...

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

    OP - I have experienced life at both ends, as a doula (birth) and as a volunteer in hospice (death). What I can tell you is this, (and of course this is my own personal take on it so make of it what...

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

    That's a good idea - what elective did you choose? Yes, we're taking critical thinking/English Lang right now, and it is time consuming although very interesting~! I spent the first week hopelessly...

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

    It sounds as if the writing class is a pretty standard first class with every University - so we are not alone!! I'm doing writing too. You're with ASU, correct? How have you found them so

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

    There are 2 deadlines a year (unless they've changed it, which I doubt). The next deadline after January 31st is May 31st. So, if you miss January, just finish up with your pre-reqs and get everything...

    is this really bad nursing judgment?

    Apple-Core replied to mlss94's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You contacted 2 MDs and got orders from one. DOCUMENT the entire thing, including being passed from the 1st MD to the 2nd. Then document your nursing assessment, and the fact that you ran it by the...

    Ugh - I had the exact same thing on one of my pre-req Bio classes.....had 79.4% and needed 79.5% to round up to an A grade. I wrote to the teacher, and she refused to round up, so I ended with a B for...

    Apple-Core replied to Horizons's topic in Florida Nursing

    What's your AA in? Any AA will almost certainly have some classes you can transfer in to a BSN. However, every University and BSN will have different requirements, so the best thing is to contact the...

    Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    I understand that financial penalty (for the hospital) hits where it hurts, which is why people sue. And I also understand the parents wish to hold the hospital/nurse accountable. However, I often...
