    Maricopa ADN waitlist

    Apple-Core replied to Guest1029094's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It's mixed. In my class we have people in ASU, NAU, Ottawa, and Franklin Pierce (think that's the name). We also have two Master degree students with GCU. The best way to think of it is this:...

    Advice for Clinicals?

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

    Get a lot of rest because it will be a long day! The reason most schools start you in a nursing home is that this is, in general, long-term care - so things are a slightly slower pace and follow a...

    What do you wish you had known?

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

    1. Don't worry about other peoples grades. As long as you are passing, that's all that matters. Once you leave school and pass the licensing exam, very few places will ask for your grades. 2. Nursing...

    Apple-Core replied to Guest1029094's topic in Arizona Nursing

    From my understanding, the ADN waitlist is usually 2 years. There are exceptions though, so don't feel that is set in stone. The CEP class is competitive entry so that's why someone may apply after...

    Too ugly to be a nurse..?!?

    Apple-Core replied to RandomNurse2b1's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's human nature to size up people in those first few brief seconds of meeting them; it's inbuilt, and we can't help but notice if someone is attractive or not, as the case may or may not be....
