I received my transcript evaluation from FVTC the other day, and only 3 courses seemed to transfer (only one of them applicable to the nursing program: SOC 101). I have a BA from UWM (obviously 120+ credits) earned 10+ years ago. My English (I too...

1. Do you own a home you can pull some equity out of? 2. If you rent, find a cheaper place to live once your lease is up. 3. Does your college offer scholarships or grants?

How do you like A&P through Moraine Park? Are the exams proctored? What kind of labs are there -- are they all done over the computer? I need to take it soon, and it's looking like online may be my only option. The two schools nearest me offer...

Thanks everyone. I guess they hadn't worked through all my transcripts when they sent me the notice out. Everything I wanted to transfer did (mostly the general stuff). Whew! My Chem is only good for 5 years from my application date, but thankful...

I moved from AJ a year and a half ago and now live in WI, but I recall even back then, there was talk of opening up a nursing program at the AJ campus. I'd give them a call and see if that's come to fruition. Could be...

I took Chm130 through Rio a few years back and earned an A. However I didn't work (SAHM to four preschoolers) so had the time to devote to it.....somewhat, lol. I spent 20+ hours each week on the course, and it was my only course. It helped tremen...

Rio doesn't have a very good reputation in regards to A&P, from what I've read here. I lasted about a week before dropping. I agree with others -- Rio really drops the ball on this course. That said, they are GREAT for many other courses. Ju...

I began to take it there a few years back and dropped. I felt the professor wasn't very helpful and the course was a joke as far as learning anything. I'd taken CHEM through Rio previously, learned a lot, and managed to earn an A. Didn't feel I c...

I'm hoping to get the books needed for this class through half.com or someone cheaper. But unfortunately Rio offers them in a bundle pack. I know which two books I need, and their editions, and have found them for cheaper (except the one, I can onl...

The AJ Fire Department offers it the first Saturday of every month I believe. There are also a few programs in East Mesa. A friend of mine mentioned......Heartsavers? I honestly don't remember if that was the name or not, but it was in East Mesa an...

For some reason I'm thinking it's a very new program. I don't believe they've even had a graduating class yet; perhaps they haven't even started a class yet.

Wanted to add.....Multi, I think you just convinced me to not attempt Micro through Rio. I'm going to see if/how I can work it into Spring semester, or sometime thereafter even if it takes me longer. I just received the text, so I can study ahead. ...

I started BIO201 at Rio, but dropped it two lessons in. It was just too difficult (and I had taken an online science before, so it wasn't that). Too much concentration on the piddliest of details, so much so that I felt I might lose myself in the d...

If money is tight and you are willing to slow it down a bit, you can get a much better break on your tuition. By taking 7 credits or less through MCCCD you can be classified as an unclassified student, and you pay........gosh, I forget, but it's onl...

I'm not sure you will be able to find what you're looking for out here. At least not in the Valley. Some of the smaller, non-metro towns have character, if that's something you'd consider. I'm a former Wisconsinite myself, born and raised there. ...

I PM'd ya. :)

From what "they" say, it should be very difficult, but doable if you put your mind to it. It'll also go better for you if you're not working. We can't comment on instructors here, but can on courses. I started the Friday Gateway A&P class this ...

Do a search on it in this forum. I posted a rundown on the program recently after meeting with an advisor from Gateway. HTH!

Bumping this thread to ask --- anyone now work at Mercy Gilbert? What do you think of it? (not asking for myself, but for someone else who's interested in working there as an RN in med/surg)

Thanks for the update!!! I'm re-reviewing an old general Biology textbook I bought off of half a while back. My plan is to spend the next month doing so and seeing how well I feel I know the material. There is an online quiz center that follows the...

I believe around $150 for used ones (if they even HAVE any) through Rio. I don't remember what the new ones would cost -- I imagine over $200.

Sometimes it's the busier people who manage to do the best. It's all about time management. GWCC is where I was going for BIO201. They have a good syllabus. You get to drop one quiz, one exam (not the final), one lab quiz, and one lab practical. ...

Where are you taking BIO201 Glina? I just signed up to take it Saturdays at Phoenix College. Again sort of. (Nah, I didn't flunk out or anything; had to drop it when I got really sick.) I'm thinking about taking BIO156 through Rio starting end o...

Check into Gateway's LPN FastTrack. They *DO* offer a nighttime/weekend option with that program. Warning: in order to start Spring 2008 (which is their next start date), you need to have your CNA license before the application date -- either Jun...
