  1. Pre-reqs change MCC

    MassagetoRN replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    We really shouldn't go down the money road. The recent increase in tution is nothing compared to the salaries required to get and keep these nursing instructors. These are accomplished professionals...

  2. Pre-reqs change MCC

    MassagetoRN replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I completely agree with you all. However, I think that MCCCD's thinking was that if they lowered the pre-reqs to apply, applicants would have something to do while they waited. And that the sciences...

  3. Anyone else receive their ASU acceptance?

    MassagetoRN replied to Kabin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    So, Its been 2 years since you started a 16 month program. Can we get an update? I am looking into ASU's William's Field accelerated program.

  4. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    MassagetoRN replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    SN11, I know this may be a shock to all, but teachers are human. Believe me, I work one these "tech schools" and sometimes the people that they have teaching gives me the willies. Not all teachers...

  5. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    MassagetoRN replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks qaqueen! Cursed Irishman, As I stated, I myself am a teacher, granted, not of nursing. I have also almost 9 years in the community college system and am applying to the Banner program. I just...

  6. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    MassagetoRN replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Just a thought, the difference between the Banner students and the non Banner students, may be the quality of students. I'm not dissing those that failed, but the Banner program does a good job of...

  7. Poor Instructors

    MassagetoRN replied to Eric Scott's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I admit that admissions can be a bit of "used car salesmen" however you can make good money in massage without working for the sweat shop that is Massage Envy. I have, and my students do as well. Plus...

  8. Pre-reqs change MCC

    MassagetoRN replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Ok, so I am sitting as provisional right now, completing my last class, BIO 202 which is now a co-req. What happens to my app? Will they put me as regular status? I guess I am glad I have my place in...

  9. Poor Instructors

    MassagetoRN replied to Eric Scott's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Ok, I have a 2 fold response: As for Good Shepard in Peoria, I used to be their massage therapist that came in monthly to work on the staff. Having been a CNA, I have to say that is the nicest,...

    Thanks! Does anyone know what schools participate in which

  11. Gateway Banner Fellows March 08

    MassagetoRN replied to gonna get there's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Has anyone else applied for the March cohort and heard nothing? I put in my app on Oct 19th, the deadline, but I handed it in personally. I haven't had a phone call or a letter. I called last week,...

  12. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    MassagetoRN replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I turned my application in on the deadline, Oct 22, so maybe they haven't gotten to it yet. I guess its been less than a month, seems longer. Thanks for your

  13. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    MassagetoRN replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Amber, How did the interview go? What did they ask you? I applied but have heard nothing. Do they send you a letter either way? My mail service isn't all that great.

  14. Banner Nurse Fellows or accelerated BSN at GCU?

    MassagetoRN replied to ZoeK's topic in Arizona Nursing

    One major factor here that no one has asked is cost! Isn't GCU much more expensive? Banner is 4 mos shorter which can be applied to the 12 mos needed to get the Bachelors, making it only 8 mos more...

  15. Rio Salado CC questions.....

    MassagetoRN replied to AlishiaRN77's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I just finished taking BIO 202 online in 8 weeks and I am a firm believer that it should not offered. It is insane! Like reading 50 pages, doing 2 essays, 3 quizzes and 3 short answer assignments in...

  16. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    MassagetoRN replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Ambergerz, When you were called last time and this, was your nursing schoold application still provisional or were you in full status each time? At the info session, they weren't clear on this. I...

  17. Maricopa Comm College Admission ??

    MassagetoRN replied to MassagetoRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks for all your quick replies, even if its not what I want to hear. Can you believe all the BIO 202 at MCC are already full and registration to the public doesn't start until monday??? crazy!!...

  18. Drowning in BIO 202..What to do???

    MassagetoRN replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    So to those of you that were drowning in this class last year, any tips on the final? I am taking BIO 202 online at RIO (accelerated 8 week class) and I need an 82% on the final to get a C in the...

  19. Nurse Massage Therapy

    MassagetoRN replied to nurseyperson's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    So, the majority of this thread is fairly old with many nurses looking into a dual career in massage therapy or incorporating massage into their nursing. I am wondering where everyone is at, did you...

  20. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    MassagetoRN replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Well, I think they base their decision on all of the above. If you are finishing pre-reqs this spring, then yes you can take your NET, its good for a year. Do a web search, there is a free math, and...

  21. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    MassagetoRN replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Has anyone had their interview for the March cohort yet? How did it go? I know that there was some locations still undecided for March, has that been decided (they were going to make Chandler gilbert...

  22. Anyone know what are the prereqs to get in the Apollo College RN program

    MassagetoRN replied to parkingmanager's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That is actually untrue. The nursing credits transfer to University of Phoenix, and Bowling Green University, if you wanted to pursue your BSN. They are working on getting ACICS accredited by the end...

  23. Anyone know what are the prereqs to get in the Apollo College RN program

    MassagetoRN replied to parkingmanager's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There are none, only a hs diploma/GED and passing the NET with a 50/50 score. If you have all your CC pre-req's you can skip their's and entire into the 3rd block of 6 for $28k instead of

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

    MassagetoRN replied to parkingmanager's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Bottom Line: Time is Money. Think of it this way, the average new nurse grad makes $50k a year. If you are on a 1 1/2 year wait list, thats $75k of nurse income you are losing. So if you pay Apollo's...

  25. Apollo Program and IASIS Hospitals

    MassagetoRN posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hey all, I am new here and I would love some input on this. I am looking at attending Apollo's nursing program. I would be breaking in on Block 3 (I have all my pre-req's done), done in 16 months and...
