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

    HI rachaelofcourse - How many students do you have from other schools? I think for me the drive would be too much - I live in the west valley so to get downtown every day would be a killer. I'm CEP...

    Learning Meds

    Apple-Core posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I’m trying to learn the meds as suggested – by using the prefix/ending of the med to group them, as in “olol = beta blocker”. I’ve hit a road-block with the fact that Anticholinergic drugs...

    Thank you for your response. Here are some examples I could find: Anticholinergic drugs (or drugs with an anticholinergic affect): hyoscyaminedicylominemethscopolamineSome Examples of cholinesterase...

    Maricopa CEP Spring 2019

    Apple-Core replied to dalbak16's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The schedule changes each semester to adapt to changes in classes etc. Your MSN program will be taken primarily (if not entirely) online, so as long as you meet your deadlines you can log in and take...

    Maricopa Nursing Prereqs; BIO156 before 201? CHM130?

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

    I took all my sciences classes online because I was working f/t and simply couldn't attend in person. Anyway - they are all doable online for sure, although obviously you need to be self motivated. I...

    Maricopa CEP Spring 2019

    Apple-Core replied to dalbak16's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi - Unless there have been changes, GCU is only for those who are pursuing a Masters degree. I spent a long time researching all the universities. I compared their program/classes, length of program,...

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

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

    Bit off topic, but where did you take your pre-reqs? I took all mine with Maricopa, and they only ever gave me a straight grade (i.e. no minus or plus grades, just A, B, C etc...). In nursing school...

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

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

    Most hospitals around here prefer a BSN, but that doesn't mean you can't get a job with an ADN, especially if you already have degrees. Once you are working, many hospitals will help with the costs of...

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

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

    Thank you! I'm really surprised. I have no idea why this change occurred. I can only assume from prior enrollment numbers, maybe? It really makes no sense since it is 100% online, so it shouldn't make...

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

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

    I'm really surprised to hear that some Unis only partner with certain CCs? That's a new thing, because it used to be you could go with any of them. Since you already have your under-grad and grad...

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

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

    From my understanding, all of the Universities partner with all of the CCs. Why someone would only be allowed to opportunity to apply for 3 CCs is very odd - it has traditionally been 3 choices per...

    Uworld??

    Apple-Core replied to Christina_'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've heard great things about UWorld, but others have suggested Saunders. Personally, I would suggest both if you can afford

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

    The university you choose does not make a difference. It is the CC that basically decides whether you get a seat or not. If you get into the CC, then whichever Uni you choose will accept you, as long...

    Are my chances of getting into nursing school gone?

    Apple-Core replied to FutureCRNA1999's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It all depends on your school's admission criteria. Where I live, the community college ADN program has a minimum GPA of 2.0, which is pretty low in my opinion, especially in light of how rigorous the...

    Nurses being reported on their spare time?

    Apple-Core replied to balld899's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree. It's quite alarming that you choose to binge drink for 2 days straight on your days off regardless of the e-cig thing. But then to claim "peer-pressure"....? Peer pressure is for kids and...

    Hi CEP is competitive entry, so make sure you do well on your HESI A2 entrance exam! Once you apply - if you are accepted you will get in the next semester. There is no wait list for the CEP. If you...

    Nursing school Clinicals

    Apple-Core replied to Trinity33's topic in General Students

    I agree with FolksBtrippin. I would be upset too, so I do understand. However, your objective side needs to step forward. For the record I have never asked a nurse for extra info for my care plans. I...

    My nursing program is horrible!

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

    We had some changes in our program early on, and I was irate at first. After huffing and puffing for a few weeks, I realized the only person I was hurting was myself - wasting time on huffing and...

    Yes, some colleges will have clinicals with the Abrazo hospitals. However, they also have clinicals with Banner, Dignity etc....so I don't know why they specifically ask about Abrazo on the...

    CEP Summer 2019 (castle branch question)

    Apple-Core replied to Nitingale91's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi Chilly - OK - well, I can see now why you're so frustrated if they gave you an end date of 3 weeks ago! The main thing is you have proof that you submitted with them and the college is on board...
