  1. 2006 pass scores are out *and* broken down by college

    AZmom posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  2. Summer classes at GCC

    AZmom replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  3. Which MCCCD ADN Waitlist

    AZmom replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

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

  4. CNA Training

    AZmom replied to Seven, RN2b's topic in Arizona Nursing

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

  5. asu or mcc ?

    AZmom replied to sealt73's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  6. Which MCCCD ADN Waitlist

    AZmom replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  7. Which MCCCD ADN Waitlist

    AZmom replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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....

  8. nursing school tuition through Maricopa County Comm. Colleges

    AZmom replied to AmericanChai's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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

  9. asu or mcc ?

    AZmom replied to sealt73's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  10. How does Blackboard (online system some colleges use) work?

    AZmom posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  11. Overwhelmed and confused by education needs

    AZmom replied to Tallulahbelle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

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

  12. How does Blackboard (online system some colleges use) work?

    AZmom replied to AZmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  13. Rio Salado - no discussion?

    AZmom replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  14. I had to drop out this semester

    AZmom posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  15. Micro -- through Rio or in a classroom setting?

    AZmom posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  16. Micro -- through Rio or in a classroom setting?

    AZmom replied to AZmom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  17. overtime incentives

    AZmom replied to wnydapoo's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  18. Ethel Bauer School of Nursing Phoenix

    AZmom replied to rcidro's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  19. LPN Schools - Phoenix

    AZmom replied to Seven, RN2b's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  20. What's typical while in Nursing school?

    AZmom replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  21. What's typical while in Nursing school?

    AZmom replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  22. What's typical while in Nursing school?

    AZmom replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  23. Too Many classes...failing out

    AZmom replied to Lexystext's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  24. Have you ever heard of such a thing? (vent)

    AZmom replied to juicy_jade's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

  25. My school seems to be different....what admission req. do you have to complete?

    AZmom replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...
