    Maricopa Nursing CEP 2019 (Applicants for April 1st - May 31st)

    Apple-Core replied to Marie93's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I think Ottawa takes a 3.5 and above? They are one of the cheapest, and they now have a brick-and-mortar University in Surprise as well as satellite campuses in the Valley. Might be worth

    Maricopa Nursing CEP 2019 (Applicants for April 1st - May 31st)

    Apple-Core replied to Marie93's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I would second this: consider your commute. Honestly, all the Maricopa colleges have to follow the same curriculum guidelines. Exactly how they teach that curriculum is obviously up to each faculty,...

    Anyone in Maricopa CEP Program that take/took NUR104AB class?

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

    For me, my least favorite clinical was psych. I didn't like it at all, and it wasn't comfortable to see people in such mental distress. Plus the unpredictability of it, and patients who wander around...

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

    Hi again - Yes, you can privately email me any time you wish, although I think this website mandates you have a certain amount of posts before you can use that feature. Don't worry about flooding the...

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

    Don't apologize - ! Honestly, I asked so many questions too =0) Yes, I'm a CEP student although I graduate in 2 weeks!! Certainly at my school they always scheduled the review class to be prior to or...

    Anyone in Maricopa CEP Program that take/took NUR104AB class?

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

    Hi - Your 104 class will be with your regular cohort, nobody else. Blocks 2, 3 and 4 will have their own review class. It is a 1 credit class, but does not result in an actual credit-grade on your...

    Anyone in Maricopa CEP Program that take/took NUR104AB class?

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

    As far as I am aware, every college offers the class. It is pretty much a review class. You don't get a grade for it. The time will vary each block, as will the times for your other

    I went with Ottawa. I've been very happy with them. They accepted a lot of previous credits. I enjoy the class structure, and the work is challenging but manageable. If you are going to be applying...

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

    Best of luck - keep on top of your application and attend one of the info sessions - they probably will go over stuff you already know but it was, so I assume it still is, mandatory to attend. I'd...

    Anyone in Maricopa CEP Program that take/took NUR104AB class?

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

    Same thing happened to us - we were forced to buy the e-book packages simply because it was linked to the Prep-U quizzes which were mandatory to take. Well - I guess you could have missed them, but...

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

    Hi Potatoz - Yeah, I know the 95.99% seems harsh, but they have to have a cut off somewhere I guess. Otherwise, if you let one person slide by, then others could argue they deserve it too. Painful to...

    Why is there a 7 year limit on prerequisites for nursing?

    Apple-Core replied to mdwatkins13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you'll find most degrees that are related to medical care will have limitations on how long ago you took pre-reqs. Why? Because that information forms the foundation for the nursing classes...

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

    Hi Candidate1 - Your GPA of 3.7 is plenty to get into ASU. I'm almost certain their GPA requirement was 3.5 and above. Therefore, if you get accepted by MCC, you're definitely in at ASU. I know the...

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

    Hi Potatoz - For us, the PrepU quizzes were mandatory because we earned points for completing them. I guess you could not take the quizzes and forego the points, but since every point counts, so I...

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

    With the new rubric, a score of over 80 is pretty much mandatory. A few people may get in with scores lower than that, but on the whole over 80 is required, and obviously the more over 80 the better....

    Which school are you planning to attend? There should be a library that has a gazillion computer terminals to work from. Your e-books are likely to be available via ThePoint website (unless your...

    HI - This class does not have exams/tests other than review tests (non-graded). It is a review class, and is also in block 2, 3 and 4. For me, some days it was really useful, others not so much. The...

    HI barcode120x - Honestly, you're not far off - I pretty much live in yoga/jogging pants and tshirts. That would be so awesome to wear to work. They are so comfy and moveable in! I'll look into FIGS -...

    Do you have a side hustle?

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

    Do you need a Masters to do this? I know that most community colleges want you to have a Masters to teach, but not sure if the same "rules" apply for online teaching?

    Funnily enough I just posted about scrubs myself! I have a heck of a time due to being large chested...I have to buy an XL to fit my chest, but then it hangs like a tent on me and I absolutely hate...
