  1. A&P I Spring 2007 Semster - Welcome!

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

    Had my first class yesterday and I'm not sure what to think. Most of my fellow students are rude beyond belief (placing cell calls during lab, chatting it up loudly during lecture, etc.). The...

  2. Gateway ??

    AZmom replied to sp1nter's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Regarding Gateway's FastTrack LPN program...... Their next start date is Spring 2008. Applications are available starting July 1, 2007. You must have all your prereqs completed prior to applying....

  3. Gateway ??

    AZmom replied to sp1nter's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Whoa! I had no idea Gateway had that large of a program. They're bigger than Mesa CC? Thanks for the stats sonoran. Where did you find them? I'd looked over their site many times looking for the...

  4. A few program questions

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

    Does ASU = Arizona State University? eta: I've not heard of any CLEP test for Micro. Exactly what kind of test are they letting you take? I won't necessarily tell you your advisor misspoke, but in...

  5. Rio Salado students-- newbie question

    AZmom replied to AmericanChai's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I took Chem through Rio. Lab kit was mailed to me and there was no lab manual. Instead the syllabus for the Lab portion contained instructions, 2-5 pages for most labs. If you've already received your...

  6. Advice PLEASE - Considering Nursing @ 39

    AZmom replied to Seven, RN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Accelerated programs are tough enough without working on top of it. I don't think what you're proposing can be done, quite honestly. Mind if I chart an alternate plan for you? Get your CNA like you...

  7. Watch a webcast of an entire semester of A&P, Chemistry, or Biology from UC Berkeley.

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

    Thanks! I'm through 1-1/2 A&P lectures and find the professor rather good. I love non-powerpoint

  8. Need online A&PII class and Microbiology class please help

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

    Also note that for transfer, some colleges require you to complete both A&Ps through the same college to ensure all material got

  9. Are your grades in yet?

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

    I took Chem through Rio, so took their standardized exam which followed the lessons and book pretty

  10. Are your grades in yet?

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

    Got an A in Chem lecture and an A in Chem lab. Yay

  11. Why do you want to be a nurse?

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

    For the money. Good pay, benefits, and flexibility. Abundance of jobs (something my old career simply does not offer). Gotta support all these kids of mine somehow. Certainly I have interest in the...

  12. Is it really so hard to get into a program

    AZmom replied to addie80's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wait a sec. Six courses for entry into the program doesn't sound right. All that's required is Chem, A&PI, A&PII, Micro, English, and Math. Surely you already took some of that for your...

  13. Is it really so hard to get into a program

    AZmom replied to addie80's topic in Arizona Nursing

    IMO MCCCD really cuts to the chase when it comes to courses required. There aren't a lot of nonsense courses thrown into their curriculum. Whatever they're asking you to take ----- I can't imagine...

  14. Can I Do This!!!

    AZmom replied to needaway23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I find it hard to believe you've not gone on public assistance before now. Unless you're receiving some high dollar child support checks, you'll certainly qualify for it. You should also EASILY...

  15. Hospital Reputations in Phoenix

    AZmom replied to Sunlover's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Don't know what their Heart Hospital division is like, but I can concur with a previous poster that Banner Baywood is in pretty bad shape. Their turnover is crazy, they lost a bunch when the Gilbert...

  16. I need to do some intro Biology self study

    AZmom posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    to help prepare me better for A&P. I'd rather avoid taking an actual course due to 1) money and 2) time. Money primarily. I've got about 8 weeks to study on my own before Spring semester...

  17. I need to do some intro Biology self study

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

    I already have my A&P book (and have begun going through it and my labs), it's just that it's review section on general biology is rather condensed. Chemistry I have down; just finished up that...

  18. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    AZmom replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I never thought there might be cross-over. Good to

  19. Physiology online....????

    AZmom replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'd check the course schedules of the other community colleges and 4-year universitities in his area. Most of ours (in AZ anyway) like to semi-coordinate their offerrings to make for easier...

  20. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    AZmom replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Overly lax admission criteria may have something to do with a high failure rate. So may the way the nursing program is structured. With more and more students needing to work while attending school,...

  21. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    AZmom replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Good to know! Hopefully I can take a trip that way in the next week or

  22. You are only taking one class.... It's no wonder you are getting an A!

    AZmom replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Exact words? In that case I stand even more behind what I said. You are reading waaaaay more into her statement than need be. Not everything is about you, not everything is an attack on you. How...

  23. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    AZmom replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Is there a separate application process for the MCCCD accelerated program? I was under the impression that was wait list as well. (Not that I'm interested in going accelerated, just curious is

  24. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    AZmom replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I haven't yet. Will finish up prereqs this upcoming semester or early summer (haven't decided yet if I want to double up A&PII and

  25. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    AZmom replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Ugh. I don't know if they just updated or if I'm just now noticing, but the numbers are looking terrible. Placement White Board 796 in "full" placement status, another 471 in "provisional" placement...
