  1. MA question

    sassiebaz replied to RebekahMA's topic in Nursing Career

    I say if you are interested in becoming an MA, just go for the LPN. Out here where I am, lots of offices advertise LPN/MA for hire in their offices. LPN's aren't used much in hospitals out this way....

  2. How do mom's do it?

    sassiebaz replied to sassiebaz's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I know I will be able to do it when the timeis right, but right now is NOT the time. My husband has to leave for work at 4 am and I have no family around to help. So, taking 3 kids to 3 different...

  3. Chamberlain School of nursing

    sassiebaz replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Kris, Im in the same boat! I have 3 kids, one toddler, an 11 yr old, and a 13 yr old. This has been one reason school has taken so long and been so inconsistent. They come first and if one program...

  4. Chamberlain School of nursing

    sassiebaz replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Kris100...Let us know. I just think that the type of education you can get from the community colleges is just as good if not better than these private schools. Are they held to a higher standard? Im...

  5. Maricopa Skills Center's Question's

    sassiebaz replied to Mayaquice's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It's interesting, Im in the March program and have not been told about the 6:30 am thing or that Sat/Sun are possiblities. Im a little irritated actually! I need to call them. Im strongly considering...

    sassiebaz posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I don't know why but I am embarassed to say I cannot get algebra for the life of me. I have mentioned this in some of my posts and Im wondering has anyone had this problem? I feel like this is the...

  7. Algebra anyone??

  8. Hairstylist to LPN?

    sassiebaz replied to sassiebaz's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thank you all for your input! I was originally scheduled to start an LPN program in oct. but had to push it back so I could work to help the family income. So, I work around some hairstylist and...

  9. Pre-reqs change MCC

    sassiebaz replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Well, let's see, you can get in with "high school Chem" but if you didn't have that the rest of us have to take a college level Chem. class. I don't agree with that so maybe some sort of basic Chem....

  10. Pre-reqs change MCC

    sassiebaz replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    In my opinion, it would have been smarter to eliminate certain pre-req's altogether! I mean, require what is truly vital to being a nurse and weed out what maybe isn't so importatnt or exchange it for...

  11. giving up....

    sassiebaz replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The make-up job was a fluke but I love it. That's what has given me the idea of beauty school. I do really feel nursing provides so much more though. Stability, income, making a difference......but I...

  12. giving up....

    sassiebaz posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have decided not to continue pursuing a nursing career. School has worn me out and the time it is taking me to get there. It's not that Im impatient, we just need a second income like, yesterday and...

  13. giving up....

    sassiebaz replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It's possible I may continue where I left off down the road when my kids are older and our finances are more stable. I currently work as a feelance makeup artist and I am going to pursue my...

  14. MSC TABE Test

    sassiebaz replied to Determined.'s topic in Arizona Nursing

    OMG, it's no big deal, really! I am terrible at math and I dropped algebra this year(in tears too). I passed the TABE! Just brush up on fractions, decimals and other basic algebra skills. I can PM you...

  15. mccnp prereq changes?

    sassiebaz replied to tobimikal's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I also tested into MAT092 and unfortunately I dropped it. It was like a foreign language to me. Im not sure what I'll do. I will start lower with 082 and see if that helps me. It's weird because when...

  16. mccnp prereq changes?

    sassiebaz replied to tobimikal's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Well, in my opinion, they should eliminate Algebra and Chemistry! I think that a comparable dosage calculation calss should be enough! Of course that is my opinion. I have a hard time with math,...

  17. Poor Instructors

    sassiebaz replied to Eric Scott's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I attended an orientation at Apollo...I was NOT impressed! They said only 12 of the 30 were graduating last month. I don't know how you manage all those classes as once. I don't think I will be able...

  18. I'm done!!

    sassiebaz replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Congrats to you! I hope one day I can be in the same spot....but I haven't even begun school so you have given me

    sassiebaz replied to snowmansgirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    IIA is the same as "Ethel Bauer School of Nursing" and the last time I checked, their last NCLEX pass rate was 48%......correct me if Im

  20. Eng 101

    sassiebaz replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I think the final was an essay, and then maybe a multiple choice test. Im sorry I cannot remember, but it was NOT hard. PM and tell who your algebra teacher is......Please and thank

  21. Eng 101

    sassiebaz replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    English at Rio was easy for me. It was just essays and a few multiple choice quizzes. I got a B and I always did my papers the day they were due. I don't recommend doing that if you have a hard time...

    Not sure what school your friend is attending but at Maricopa skills center you will have to pick a patient the day before clinicals and you will be doing care plans. I am looking forward to learning...

  23. Question about Nursing Programs?

    sassiebaz replied to imapsychrn's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Several that I know of. Private colleges do not have a waitlist as far as I know. GCC has a waitlist of a year and I checked on that two weeks ago. From what I have been told the wait is around a year...
