    arual56 replied to mybrowneyedgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    arual56 replied to West Valley's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I tested out of my RN program after the first two blocks so that I would be able to work as an LPN for the last two blocks. I worked in the ER at one of the hospitals here in Tucson. Predominately,...

  13. Please help? I'm tired of waiting! Is going for LPN a good idea?

    arual56 replied to becklynne2's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I didn't go through an LPN program but did test out after the second block of the RN program so that I could work as an LPN during the last two blocks. I think it is a great idea and wonder why more...

    arual56 replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I just passed my NCLEX, (an evil test I might add) and the only part that we were required to do for our classes through MCC was the HESI tests at the end of blocks 2 & 4. I also attended the...

    arual56 replied to Pkkostura's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I just graduated from MCC Rio Salado Program. Like every other program, it has its bumps and holes. The third block was probably very much like the third block you just failed. However, be aware...

  18. Preceptor Problem

    arual56 replied to OkShell's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This is not something that is your problem and you should not be letting it weigh on your heart or your mind. This individual couldn't go over the evaluation with you since you would have known right...

  19. sick of worrying.....

    arual56 replied to ellen84's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Do yourself a favor and go to your state board of nursing site and see if they offer online verification. If they do, plug in your name and see what comes up. They know pretty much right away. If...

  20. Tech?

    arual56 replied to ariannasmom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    AZ does not license or certify techs. The state board of nursing does certify CNA's. If you want to be a tech, it might be best to take a class through a community college. The CNA/PCT classes are...

    arual56 replied to AlisonBSN's topic in Emergency

    arual56 replied to arual56's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Take it from a student who is embroiled in the mess this has created, it is nightmarish. They never have given very good support to their students, but now you can't reach them by phone at all, and...

    arual56 replied to Victoria74's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I sent my application and finger prints in together, after being warned by a co-worker that sending them in seperately sometimes means they get lost. By the time I got my ATT, the Board already had...
