    Working and Nursing School

    Apple-Core replied to S7ud3n7_Nur53's topic in General Students

    Possible, yes. Easy, no. It depends on you as a person too; if you're great with time management and planning your study week, you could breeze it. For me, it'd be too much. I hope to work 15 hours a...

    Maricopa Comm College CEP Fall 2017 Uni/Spring 2018 CC Applicants

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

    Welcome - and good luck! I've heard several different dates now, but June 28th is the best yet!!! That's only a week away I think it's possible that each CC has it's own timeline due to the...

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

    Yes, it is a very rigorous course, so I'm not surprised people drop out. And yes, it has gotten very competitive; a BSN for $20K is amazing value! It would be 4 times that if you went to a University,...

    Starting Over at 25

    Apple-Core replied to Paula378's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest throwing any thought of your age to the wind. Many people enter nursing at an older age. I'm mid-40 and just applied to nursing school, so I'll be closing in on 50 by the time I...

    GCCAZ CEP Program 2017

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

    I wouldn't let being almost 30 sway your decision to go to a for-profit. Loads - and I mean loads - of people enter nursing much older than this. Me, for example! I'm doing the Community College...

    I want to get in to an RN program but have no clue where to start

    Apple-Core replied to Changes1's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The Maricopa community colleges offer a CEP program now; it is an ADN/BSN hybrid. You take the ADN at the college and the Bachelor classes online with a university. The entire program runs at around...

    Hi again - The fingerprint clearance should be valid for quite a few years, so that's a good thing to get out of the way so you don't have it on your "to do list". The HESI scores are valid for...

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

    Yes, I believe that is the correct form, but don't stress it too much; if it isn't, they can almost certainly print the correct one for you while you are there. The selection process for the CEP...

    WOW - that late? That doesn't allow for much time to get prepared to get enrolled and start the online classes, which will be early August (I think)...I was hoping end of June to mid-July to hear...

    The community colleges accept applications year round, but there are several specific deadlines. Whenever you apply, your application will be in the group that falls between the previous and the next...

    I second that! I hope everyone got their applications turned in and get placed. I'm not holding my breath - I was told there were loads of applicants and only 24 seats where I applied (EMCC), same for...

    Responding to annoying co-worker who asks you to work for them every week?

    p.s. you say you don't want to ruin a good relationship with her, but clearly she doesn't care about any impact on you, so stop worrying and protect

    Responding to annoying co-worker who asks you to work for them every week?

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

    When you say "work for me", do you mean cover your shift entirely? Or help out with something at work, such as turn a patient? I've been in this situation, and the person wanted me to cover their...

    Manager catch phrases

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

    The astounding thing for me with regards to hearing how "communication is key", is just how completely useless so many managers are at just that...communicating. Good communication is, to me, so basic...

    Agh - poo-poo! That extra point might come back to haunt me! Oh well, I'll consider taking the class this summer so that if I end up not getting in I can reapply with all the classes. I really didn't...

    Please help! Accounting or Nursing?

    Apple-Core replied to akachin107's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ultimately it is 100% your choice, and nobody here can decide for you. Having said that, from reading your post I would say accounting is more suitable for your temperament. However, again, it is your...

    Maricopa Comm College CEP Fall 2017 Uni/Spring 2018 CC Applicants

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

    No, they keep the actual time-stamp. I think when people refer to "getting a time stamp" they just mean that their application received one (a literal stamp with the date on it), not that they...

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

    The time stamp should be on your application. It's just a way of them knowing exactly when you submitted your paperwork, I think. I got one on my application, but she didn't "give me" my
