  1. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    NewJA replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I rest my case. That paragraph just perfectly sums up my thoughts on their system better than I could have done myself. They have taken what should be a very simple application process where people...

  5. Starting income for ADN R.N.s in AZ

    NewJA replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am wondering if anyone knows what kind of work schedules may be available to hospital nurses... For example, I see a lot of posts about 2 shifts being offered - 7 am to 7 pm, and 7 pm to 7 am....

    NewJA replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Sorry sassie, I was mistaken, as you can see from the preceeding couple of posts. I was thinking of bio 101 and 102 which, according the MCC advisor with whom I met, meet the requirement for 181,...

  11. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    NewJA replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Makes sense. I have 9 prereqs to take myself - A&P 1 and 2, CHM and MIC. After that, I just have to do the 2 years in the nursing program. If I still had to take eng 1 and 2, psych, math, and a...

  12. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    NewJA replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That sounds like a good opportunity, but it certainly isnt for me. Too much money (I couldn't even get a student loan that big) and I don't want to be in a 2 yr program w no good breaks, either....

  14. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    NewJA replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    What is it about this Ethel B school of nursing that makes it worth the 600% increase in tuition over M.C.C? There must be some sort of big incentive, or noone would pay it. You said you would...

  15. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    NewJA replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I agree. Also, I think that MCC's arrangement for applying is absurd. It is also very complicated, and apparantly very difficult to get clear explanations of when, how, where, and why we have to do...

    NewJA replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    To me, some examples of a better system would be: -Take students GPA's into consideration when choosing who to accept. That by itself would eliminate the problem for a lot of people, including...

  17. Is Everybody Moving to California?

    NewJA replied to Sheri257's topic in California Nursing

    Well, I spent the first 23 yrs of my life in the middle of nowhere, and the next 10 years in the middle of major cities (Phoenix and D.C.). I prefer the country (in a nice area - not in a desert)...

    NewJA replied to Sheri257's topic in California Nursing

    I cannot believe that it is possible at all to own a house on the beach IN San Diego on an income significantly less than 50K per year.... especially when it sounds like you're talking about more...

  20. Starting income for ADN R.N.s in AZ

    NewJA replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That's awesome. It's nice to know that Nurses are being reasonably compensated, especially here in AZ, a mecca for substandard pay. I personally think that they should be making at least a few...

    NewJA replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I was under the impression that the poster was referring to percentages, not actual dollar values. Maybe I am wrong. So, 3.5%, 6.5%, etc... If it is 3.50 and 6.50, then thats a pretty awesome...

    Er, what about how good your wife's job is? Or what about all the R.Ns who don't have a husband or a wife, such as I will be? What about all the RNs whop are single moms, or single

    I know that NY State has the highest taxes of all the states in the country, that's all I know. I have never had a mortgage anywhere myself. But I am certain that property taxes in NY on my friends...

    My main motivation for posting my California gripe was to try to get the people here to prove me wrong, and you have all done a fairly good job. California is where I have wanted to live for the past...
