If this is old news, my apologies. If not, here you go: http://www.azbn.gov/EducationalResources.asp Select the one that says NCLEX 2002-2006, or something like that. Shows how the different colleges within the MCCCD faired as well. Interesting s...

I've taken Chm130 and got 1/3 way through Bio201. In a more regular setting (14-18wk courses). I would NOT suggest taking those in a 5-week summer format unless you aren't working, have no life, and can devote your all to those courses. They're all t...

Whoa! You mean they actually, finally updated their website? Took long enough.

Thanks for the update, Sonoran. I must have missed it the first time around. I might try to shop around CNA programs tomorrow.

Again, don't know if this is still valid, but per their website the current calculations of GPA can be found here: http://nursing.asu.edu/forms/index.htm Select "GPA Calculation Worksheet." It shows that out of 17 possible prereqs required for ap...

CAC obtained a new director Fall 06. With that change came a change to their program. Beginning Spring 07, they went from only offerring start dates in the Fall of each year to offerring start dates in the Fall AND Spring. In addition, in a letter to...

Multi, do you have your CNA license? If you do, you might want to check out Gateway's LPN FastTrack. I did a write up on it a few months back -- do a search in this forum and you should find it. Another one to check into if you have your CNA would be...

I was just reading on.....Phoenix College's site?.....that if you take under 7 credits, it's only $90/credit hour for out-of-state. Once you go 7+ credits though, they nail you on tuition.

I'd suggest going to talk with an advisor at ASU to see what their application policy is for their nursing program. I looked it up a while back online and from what I could tell (which very well may have changed) you get "points" for grade point ave...

I have two different colleges to choose from who offer online A&P and I'm trying to decide which one is better to go through. They both use the Blackboard system. How exactly does that work? Is it a standard course structure that colleges buy ...

No. Both the associates degree in nursing and the bachelor of science in nursing will qualify you to take the boards to become an RN.

Thank you for the responses! I'm especially glad to hear it's better than Rio's system. I didn't find theirs terribly awful, but it wasn't the easiest to navigate through either. I hope there's no e-book. I already have the Marieb book and am com...

I started taking A&P through there. IIRC we weren't "allowed" to post anything to the message board either. There was also the "you will NOT be allowed to work ahead" restriction, along with about a hundred others. That whole course structure ...

I went and landed myself in the hospital for 9 days. I could have maybe made school work but I'm still recuperating and didn't think I could hack it, or hack it as well as I'd want to. So I dropped A&P and will try again next Fall. Maybe. Feel...

How's Micro through Rio? Is there any way to tell if I'd succeed in it by taking it online vs. classroom? I've taken Chem through there; earned an A even. So I obviously have no trouble self-teaching. On the flip side I attempted A&P1 throug...

Huh. I didn't know anyone else offerred it online. I'll have to look into it. I wonder how or why it would be easier to take it online through PC vs. Rio? eta: Doesn't look like PC has offerred Micro online for the past year at all. They do A&...

Is that hospital wide policy or is she in a specialty? Also, does anyone know if the new freeway loop off the 60 in East Mesa goes down around towards Chandler yet? Or will it even? I'm always on the hunt for a new job for my mom, and she's menti...

My understanding with ASU is that they WILL grant you a certain number of credits (around 35 maybe? -- I don't remember exactly off hand) just for having your RN degree (doesn't matter where it's from). Basically they're crediting the equivalent of m...

Gateway starts accepting applications on July 1st, 2007 iirc for the January 2008 start date. I wrote it in another thread; if you do a search on my posts you should find it. Prereqs are HCC130 (3 cr), HCC145AA? (1 cr) -- both can be taken now thr...

I've seen this in the student nursing threads too -- that such little time (relatively speaking) is spent on studying. I guess I don't understand how that can be. Are the things you're learning in class/lab/clinicals relatively basic that you can l...

I take that back. If you play around here -- http://web1.dist.maricopa.edu/CFIDE/docs/hcies/clinical/clinic1.cfm -- it might give you some insight as to where and when clinicals are currently being held for the different colleges in Arizona.

There can never be enough pre-planning. I've overthunk :chuckle just about every aspect of my schooling, looked into many different colleges and programs. Regarding hours, take a look at the course schedules at any colleges your thinking of applyin...

If I may offer a suggestion....... Check out the stickies at the top of this forum and/or the stickies in the nursing student forum. There are tons of links which might help you out in your BIO class. Also, there's a link to podcasts stickied abov...

Don't you regularly get utility bills, a cell phone bill, bank statement, something sent to you monthly? Why do you need to ask them for one?

Nah, don't be scared. I know of two community colleges in my area who have rather minimal requirements for entry into the program. #1 -- CNA license, med terminology, general healthcare hodgepodge fluff class, NET #2 -- Chemistry, Psychology, med te...
