  1. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    AZmom replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    :chair: I'll let you all know how it goes. Will be starting A&P in two weeks having only had a prior high school biology in........1989 must have been. I'm not too worried. I recently read through...

  2. Which program are you doing and why?

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

    I can afford cash out of pocket for ADN through a community college, so that's the route I'm going. Will work slowly towards my BSN on my employer's dime, then possibly onto advanced

  3. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    AZmom replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yeah, it was very off-putting to have to come in for any information. But I needed a backup plan in case the community college CNA courses filled up, so I went. The info session wasn't a hard pitch...

  5. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    AZmom replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I think that can be a good plan, provided one realizes the dedication needed to pay back such a huge loan. Truth is, we as Americans tend to spend what we make. We feel we "deserve" it after all...

  6. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    AZmom replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    And if you thought EBSN was high, Pima (Medical Institute, not the other Pima) beats 'em: $36,000 (includes everything -- tuition, books, uniforms). Ouch!!!! But they'll get you through in two...

  7. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    AZmom replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You know though, I had been set on CAC, now I'm waivering again. I forget who it was here that just got accepted for Spring enrollment, but I did a search on their posts and saw that they'd only...

  8. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    AZmom replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I came across this tonight: http://healthcare.maricopa.edu/researchandeval.php Some good charts which show enrollment, placement, time spent waiting to get into the program. Spans the last ten?...

  10. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    AZmom replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You're not exactly going to get around taking those same difficult prereqs by going through EBSN. I can't imagine even a diploma program not forcing some courses in A&P and Micro on

  11. Odd format for an intro Psych course?

    AZmom posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Heavy emphasis on "deep learning" and "critical thinking" (not quite of the nursing program type). All learning is measured by writings -- journals, essays, online debates -- whose topics are...

  12. How long???

    AZmom replied to Leeann337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really varies by school. They just changed the application process at mine. While the deadline is beginning of February, they then (at some point) go through apps and select people for...

  13. Online classes

    AZmom replied to Butterfly3001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't work, but I have three at home all day with me (there's a full time job, lol) and one in kindy, so I don't always get too much accomplished during the day. For that reason, I only signed up...

  14. Placement tests..

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

    There are probably some algebra refresher websites out there to help you. You will need to know the basics for Chem. Won't survive without it. That said, I hadn't taken math since college 15 years...

  15. Online classes

    AZmom replied to Butterfly3001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's not true across the board. I'm going through Rio right now and the course outline with all assignments and due dates is given at the start of the course. There are no surprises, no pop...

  16. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    AZmom replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I think a better system might be to offer those wait-listed the opportunity to take some nursing-necessary courses during that time. Nutrition and Pharm are currently rolled into the nursing program...

  17. Odd format for an intro Psych course?

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

    Furthermore, lol, not to sound defensive, because I'm completely comfortable with my decision to drop this course....... Dropping doesn't make me a loser, nor a quitter. To stay in a course simply...

  18. Odd format for an intro Psych course?

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

    We're mincing words. Sure the foundation of critical thinking is the same. How it's used or applied in different courses and in life is certainly not. Frankly critical thinking is just some...

  19. Odd format for an intro Psych course?

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

    I disagree that critical thinking is critical thinking. When the assignment reads "pick out the three main points from the last two (incredibly long) chapters which really resonate with you and...

  20. What are your core classes?

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

    To apply to nursing program: - Anatomy & Physiology I (4) - Anatomy & Physiology II (4) - Nurse Assisting (6) What everyone ends up knocking out in the meantime: - Microbiology (4) - Intro to...

  21. Odd format for an intro Psych course?

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

    You know what? I decided to drop it. I hadn't long to decide before losing money so figured I'd drop and if I decide to later I can still take it through there. I'm leaning towards not, though,...

  22. What order to take prereq's in

    AZmom posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Going through Rio Salado. I have some college courses behind me, so I'm left with only these requirements: CHM 130, BIO 201 (A&P1), BIO 202 (A&P2), BIO 205 (Micro). I might also have to...

  23. What order to take prereq's in

    AZmom replied to AZmom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I guess what tans my hide is that for this intro "essay" our explicit instruction was to NOT read the Welcome Statement prior to completing it, to just answer the essay questions right out the gate....

  24. What order to take prereq's in

    AZmom replied to AZmom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I was just going to make a post about Psych 101 with Rio. And I probably still will, lol. You thought it was easy? When did you take it? I'm really thinking they changed the format -- big time. I...

  25. What are your core classes?

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

    Click on "Prospective Students" and then click on "2005/2007 Student Catalog." Download that pdf file. Go to page 72 (79 of 139). Those are your nursing requirements. Then go back to the beginning...
