  1. Medication Conversions

    Knorremeisje replied to Sirena922's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1g = 1000mg so 1mg = 0.001g 1kg = 1000g = 1 000 000mg 1l = 10dl = 100cl = 1000ml 1 ounce = 28.35g If you can't remember, there are tons of websites with conversions on them. Try...

  2. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    Knorremeisje replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    About the 5 year expiration... Try graduating from HS only 2 years ago, but since that was in Europe (and I don't like to say it but the educational level was really high considering I took Latin,...

  3. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    Knorremeisje replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If you can, take it before BIO201! On the BIO201 midterm there was a question I wasn't sure about... I just applied what I learned in Medical Terminology and I guessed the right answer. :) Unless you...

  4. PSY101 at which college? or should I wait?

    Knorremeisje replied to litaphoenix's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Jamij, how easy do you think it is to accelerate this class? I'm starting at Rio on Jan 7th, but in order to be able to apply to BNF for the August cohort, I need to finish about 2-3 weeks earlier. Do...

  5. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    Knorremeisje replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Medical Terminology is actually only 1 credit. At Rio everything is at home, except for the actual final. It truly was the easiest class I've ever taken. I did take Latin all throughout high school,...

  6. Pre-reqs change MCC

    Knorremeisje replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Also, Gateway has a weekend program. A friend of mine as a single mom and has two little ones as well. She got into the weekend program and continued to work full-time throughout the entire program....

  7. Pre-reqs change MCC

    Knorremeisje replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I don't think you are able to take the actual nursing classes without being in the program. They want to keep the class size very limited to ensure quality. So you can not take any NUR classes. I...

  8. Pre-reqs change MCC

    Knorremeisje replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    No advisor will ever tell you that the wait at a certain school is shorter than at another. I don't even think they can access that kind of information. You increase your chances of getting picked...

  9. A&P 1 Spring 08

    Knorremeisje replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a bummer! However, BIO156 is a very interesting and fascinating class. I also took it at Rio Salado and I loved it! It will truly give you an advantage in A&P as

  10. Pre-reqs change MCC

    Knorremeisje replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Let's look at it this way - why would MCC make such drastic changes if they were not changing something in the actual program as well? They will be timestamping applications 6 times a year now. I...

  11. Pre-reqs change MCC

    Knorremeisje replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I also took chemistry in High School in Europa... however they need your grade from high school and I haven't found a single company that will evaluate your high school grades. And believe me, I...

  12. Anyone Ever Taken Intro Chem Online?

    Knorremeisje replied to tmcdaniel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am currently taking Chemistry online at a local community college (Rio Salado in Phoenix). I combine it with BIO201 and ENG101. So far it's going great. I have high A's in both CHM and ENG and a...

  13. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    Knorremeisje replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I honestly believe they have hired a bunch of new educators. They've also cut out the provisional application. The pre-req's now are: CHM130+Lab, BIO201, PSY101, and MAT122. I had also already taken...

  14. Pre-reqs change MCC

    Knorremeisje replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Well, I guess it all depends on your situation. Could you maybe work part time for only three months? Do you work 5 days/week? If you work only 3 (12hr shifts) I think you can manage to do three...

  15. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    Knorremeisje replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm so excited! The MCC pre-requisite changes make it possible for me to apply a whole semester sooner! This means I can apply to the BNF for the August cohort as well! I'm so excited, I really,...

  16. Pre-reqs change MCC

    Knorremeisje replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I would say CHM130 is harder than Math. I did take MAT142 (which is honestly easier than MAT120) at Rio Salado as well. Math only required me to take a test every other week. CHM130 requires a lab...

  17. Pre-reqs change MCC

    Knorremeisje replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm taking CHM130 at Rio Salado (like all my other pre-req's). It's going good so far, I have 96% in both the lecture and the lab. You have to send in a lot of assignments by mail, which is really...

  18. Pre-reqs change MCC

    Knorremeisje replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hmm I guess this is good! I'm halfway through BIO201 and CHM130 right now. Unfortunately I haven't taken Psy101 yet. However I can accelerate this class at Rio Salado, so hopefully I'll be able to...

  19. Fall '07 Grades!! Be Proud!!

    Knorremeisje replied to modelmama07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't give excuses everyone just because you've gotten a B or a C! There's nothing wrong with a B or even a C! And it looks like everyone did an awesome job! I take my classes online so my "semester"...

  20. Unfair hiring decisions regarding new grads

    Knorremeisje replied to arual56's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I can't really offer any help, however I'd say leave the place as soon as possible. You don't want to work for an employer who doesn't recognize your efforts and your hard work. At least that's what I...

  21. Just moved here, where is the great RN pay at?

    Knorremeisje replied to mytoon38's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm actually thinking about moving East once I graduate Nursing School - how are the RN pays over there? Considering the low housing cost, it might actually be better back

  22. Failed the Program

    Knorremeisje replied to 2bOrNot2beRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    How did you do on all your pre-req's? And what class was it that you failed in? What school are you attending? When was the last time you failed and in what? I think it really depends on your...

  23. Anyone...future Career: Nicu?

    Knorremeisje replied to KaylaBri's topic in Nursing Career

    I would like to move into NICU or PICU after I graduate from nursing school. I'm currently working on pre-req's and will be done with those in April '08. I hope to be in a program by Fall '08 through...

  24. A&P 1 Spring 08

    Knorremeisje replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Katie, I'm combining A&PI, Chemistry, and English. I also work part-time. So far, I have A's in everything. It's all about planning and time management. :) I'm sure that if you put your mind to...

  25. A&P 1 Spring 08

    Knorremeisje replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So far it's going great. It's a LOT of work. Since there is no real lecture time, there is no instructor to put emphasis on anything. So basically we need to know everything the handbook and lab...
