  1. Loan Forgiveness

    shannahan replied to shannahan's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I know how the vocational schools work - I went to Apollo 20 years ago for medical assistant and although I liked the school and felt I was trained well, there were some lies told too. But they do...

  2. Speed the Wait

    shannahan posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    From what I understand, the wait can be shortened if you're military and have been to Iraq and if you voluteer at a hospital. The latter, I concluded by a post I read here of someone volunteering at...

  3. Speed the Wait

    shannahan replied to shannahan's topic in Arizona Nursing

    All I know is that my brother's brother-in-law came back from Iraq and started at MCC immediately. Since this post, I've asked his sister and mom if he's just doing prereq's and they have told me...

  4. Tuition Reimbursement Question

    shannahan posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    When employees offer tuition reimbursement is this for full time employees only? I ask because I don't see how someone could go through 2 years of nursing school and work full time (I know it's been...

  6. Career Advice?

    shannahan posted a topic in Retired Nurses

    I figured I'd get lots of wisdom from this forum so I'm posting my question here. I'd appreciate any guidance or insights you have to offer. I'm re-entering the workforce after being a home-based...

    A little background...I'm 45 with 3 young children. In my distant past I want to Apollo College for medical asst and did that for maybe a year before getting into more business-oriented jobs. I've...

  9. Going back......I feel old!

    shannahan replied to Bennie44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm still in the process of choosing a school, but I'm 45!! Since I haven't went through school yet, I can't say from experience, but in my opinion, you're not too old as others have done it. When...

  10. Help me sort this out please!

    shannahan replied to shannahan's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You're right, NancyNurse, I know I need to make this decision myself. It's such a big decision that I am trying to gather as much info as I can to make the decision. It's all of you in the trenches...

  11. Career Advice?

    shannahan replied to shannahan's topic in Retired Nurses

    Well - the $2700 and $27,000 are for two different careers and the more expensive school is for my first choice career. That's why the conflict. But since I first wrote this, I have eliminated rad...

  12. Help me sort this out please!

    shannahan replied to shannahan's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    No doubt. I guess what it will boil down to is can I go through hell for 2 years? I don't know. Can I do it for 1 year, pretty sure I can. Hopefully I'll get some more opinions that will help...

    shannahan replied to shannahan's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yeah, I think I can do the LPN program. It's the RN program that I'm afraid of after reading the horror stories on here!

  14. Help me sort this out please!

    shannahan replied to shannahan's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thanks so much for clearing up the testing out thing. I think I've read (or misread) in many places that an LPN can take the NCLEX-RN. This didn't seem right to me. I must have been reading...

    I think I'll do that!

  16. Everest Feb 08 class??

    shannahan replied to junebugAZ's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Is this an LPN or RN program? I talked to them briefly but didn't ask enough questions because I thought I had already chosen another school. Now I'm not so sure. I *think* the woman told me it was...
