    Apple-Core replied to cslmom717's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The ADN is definitely going to be available. I checked out a random CC: Areas of Study and they had an ADN......check the CC close to you and get a feel for what they offer. Call the advisement, go in...

    Before you do anything else, take that one class to get your Associate in Art degree! Self pay if necessary; one class at a CC shouldn't come to more than a few hundred

    That's another great suggestion! Shadowing a nurse for a full shift to see what it entails: the smells, the sights, the emotional stress

    Apple-Core replied to cslmom717's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! What state do you live in? I would strongly suggest looking at your local community colleges. Many will offer the ADN - which is a two year program for an associates in nursing. However, many...

    Yes M'am! I've taken all my pre-reqs and co-reqs through Rio Salado so that I can continue to work. I'm hoping to turn in my application this May for the CEP with Estrella Mountain CC or Glendale CC....

    ASU vs GCU

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

    If you're already enrolled at EMCC, I would go and talk with the nursing advisor there to get some information about their CEP...that way you can get a better idea of the best pathway of classes to...

    ASU vs GCU

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

    Are you in the EMCC CEP program, or taking pre-reqs at EMCC? Will you be attending the University in person or online? I may be wrong, but I think GCU is a for-profit Uni, and is Christian based, if...

    What do you do to mask odors? A mask? Vicks under nose?

    Applied to Nursing school!

    Apple-Core replied to Nickc58's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm most certainly not an expert in these areas, but there seem to be quite a few unanswered questions hanging around that your college should have made you aware of. Is there someone you can talk to?...

    What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    Apple-Core replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    OK - I just had to manually drain my dog's anal glands that had become full and impacted. Yes, it can be done at home (and save yourself the vet fees in the process). I watched some YouTube clips to...

    University of Arizona HESI A2

    Apple-Core replied to Mislas2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a poke around the UofA website and couldn't find any specific information regarding GPA or HESI score requirements. My personal opinion (and it is just an opinion) is that you should easily get...

    Well my HESI A2 exam is tomorrow

    Apple-Core replied to SPMME13's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    No, nothing - just English and Math! I don't know if that is across the board with all the community colleges in the county, or is it just for those that have the ADN/BSN

    Is it competitive entry or is there a wait list? Did you sit the HESI entrance test yet? Most colleges I know of will look at a combination of your pre-req GPA, your HESI scores, and other factors...
