Congratulations!!! GOD is good, all the time!

That's pretty cool!! Good luck with the interview! If you've had it already, let us know how it went.

I did not think that you can extern when you have not completed Block 1....has that changed?

I know that Banner takes into consideration your NET scores, your GPA, your application essay answers and your prereq completions into account. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you how they weigh all of those things out when determining whom to call for an interview and final acceptance though.

I want your shift when I graduate. I want to work part time. But I am sure that it is better for me to work full time first and then transition to part time. I have three kids under 9 yo at home also. Thanks again for everyone's input. It seems like most of you work the 12 hour shifts.

Thanks for everyone's answers.

Thanks, much!!

Does anyone know what scrubs we will be wearing for the Banner program? Is it the same as the MCCD Nursing program (the teal one w/MCCD logo)?

I applied at the same time that you did, Oct '07 to the MCCD program. I was told that the wait was 1 to 1.5 year wait. I also applied to the Banner Fellows program in Jan '08 and was accepted - starting Block 1 on 7/14. I do believe that the more schools/programs that you are willing to attend (read: flexibility), then your wait time will decrease. However, if you are only wanting 1 particular program at 1 particular school - you have extended your wait time.

What hours do you work and what dept/unit do you work in? I have an understanding that most units are run on 12 hr shifts, 7-7pm or 7-7am...I am sure that is not the case for every department. However, I was wondering what is a normal shift for any given unit? After seeing the thread about the Baylor plan, I was wondering about the variety of shifts that are out there.

Aawww, I am sorry to hear that. I pray for the best for you and your family. I know that you have to do what's best for your family right now. I am sure that you will find a way to reach your goal. Take care and God Bless!

I will be 41 when I am completed and am turning 40 in August.

Just wait, the furnace that we call Phoenix weather will soon be upon us. I have a love/hate relationship with it and much prefer the mild winters much better than the heat. Hubby won't entertain the thought of moving, so I am stuck. Ideally, I am looking for mild weather all year long in the 80's w/low humidity, no snow, no earthquakes, no hurricanes, no tornadoes, and very little year-long snowbirds...so I really am truly stuck. LOL!

I am sorry to hear that. I am sure that we will meet out there somewhere, though. Keep the faith!

Mine is due by 5/30/08. Mine was for Glendale CC.
