    sassiebaz replied to markas214's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I can answer your questions about MA's. Typically walking into a new position even with the experience your wife has, she will make about $15 an hour. That's usually where they top out at. I hear...

    sassiebaz replied to shaggyjo's topic in Arizona Nursing

    So, what is the name of this program? You left that part out. Or maybe you want to PM me with the name? I have talked to many, many nursing programs and haven't heard anything about a school having an...

  6. Revisions to the MCCDNP.....

    sassiebaz posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Has anyone heard about revisions being made to the 2008 programs? I saw this at the Glendale CC website and was a little confused. I believe this was pertaining to either pre-req's or co-req's. Anyone...

    sassiebaz replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    sassiebaz replied to Ready2BRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually dropped my college algebra class and had to re-think my desire and pursuit of becomming a nurse. I just could NOT figure out algebra and cried week two, so I dropped! Will I ever "get it"?...

  13. Revisions to the MCCDNP.....

    sassiebaz replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    sassiebaz replied to familyguy's topic in Arizona Nursing

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

    Ladies, ladies....It is important to remember that when someone is posting, you cannot hear how they are saying something to you. You can only read the words and sometimes it's a guessing game at what...

  17. Do I really want to be a nurse?

    sassiebaz posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have been on this board for sometime now. I have posted and read posts and just the other day I read a thread about what these nurses really go through. It really has me re-thinking if I want to...

  18. The Ethel Bauer school location in Phoenix kinda scares me.

    sassiebaz replied to familyguy's topic in Arizona Nursing

  19. The Ethel Bauer school location in Phoenix kinda scares me.

    sassiebaz replied to familyguy's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yeah, Im from the North Bay....I am very familiar with Richmond. Knowing the area that EBSN is in I would not compare it to Richmond at all. It looks a little run down and the population over there...

  20. The Ethel Bauer school location in Phoenix kinda scares me.

    sassiebaz replied to familyguy's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I understand what you are saying but, it's not like you will be living there! Are you from the Bay Area? It says your location is San Francisco....that isn't the safest place either. Im not planning...

  21. Survey: Would you pay Apollo $43,000 or Ethel Bauer $27,000 or do you have any ideas

    sassiebaz replied to parkingmanager's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Im set to start Oct. 19th. It's a one year program and then I will start working. I may possibly do the LPN-BSN through UOP or I will just finish my pre-req's and wait to get a spot at a MCC program....

  25. Survey: Would you pay Apollo $43,000 or Ethel Bauer $27,000 or do you have any ideas

    sassiebaz replied to parkingmanager's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Ok, here is the thing......$40K over time is what, a $200/month payment? Im guessing, but still, they give you like 20 years to pay that back. If in the meantime you are making $50K a year and up,...
