    GilbertDaddy posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm a single fulltime father who works fulltime. By the time I'm an RN, I'll be able to do things much easier due to different types of shifts (3x12's, etc.), but for now, I'm doing what I can to get...

    GilbertDaddy replied to parkingmanager's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Looks like their last grad rate (according to AZ BON NCLEX records: http://www.azbn.gov/NCLEX.aspx) was 11/13 or 84.62%. Not amazing, but definitely an improvement over their earlier

    GilbertDaddy replied to GilbertDaddy's topic in General Nursing

    You know someone else said something about this kid that was very special. They said just because we see him as different, doesn't mean HE sees himself as different. That reminds me of that 9year old...

    GilbertDaddy replied to GilbertDaddy's topic in General Nursing

    God, that's so tragic =/ Yeah.. I may be built differently there.. Those kids make a grown man like me cry.. it puts life in such a spotlight that you can't help but come face to face with your own...

    GilbertDaddy replied to GilbertDaddy's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't think you read the bottom :) I am hopeful they do get the accreditation here in AZ.. Any more alternatives to the other programs out there are great to have. Here in AZ, there are less than a...

  17. Chandler/Gilbert CC???

    GilbertDaddy replied to Mayaquice's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm taking the same classes (if you're taking 181) and you're right. Bio is interesting, but chemistry is going to be a bit of a

    GilbertDaddy replied to Mayaquice's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I've heard some bad things about their Fellows program (most folks seemed to infer that the MCC one was by far less problematic), I'd do a search and check that out :) I'm planning on taking...

  19. Pass/Fail vs Actual Grade - How does this affect your GPA? Which is better?

    GilbertDaddy posted a topic in General Students

    In my Nursing Terminology class, I have the option to take a pass/fail or an actual letter grade. I'm not able to really find any documentation saying why one would be better than the other, aside...

    GilbertDaddy replied to GilbertDaddy's topic in General Students

    Hmm, good to know. I'm looking to transfer to ASU for my BSN and then onto a CRNA program later.. that's why I'm picky than I probably should be. I think I'll have it switched to a letter grade.. I...

    GilbertDaddy replied to FazRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wow you make 34/hr?? I've been hearing new grad hourly ranges of 23-27 or so for the others in AZ. That's nice! I'm still in nursing school so I'd love if 34/hr is truly what new grads are getting.....

    GilbertDaddy replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    It's hard to explain unless you've lived in the US for a long time. We spend crazy amounts of taxpayer money on things most of the taxpayers don't want it spent on while ignoring education and...
