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...

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...

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 l...

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 ...

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!

If I had not gotten into the program this month, then my next class that I was going to take was a pathophysiology class and some other lower level courses that I would need (and could take at comm college level) to apply to my BSN. Good luck on get...

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

I just got back and I was OK on all but the Hep B shots, so I started that today. I just have to go back Monday for my TB skin test read and I am home free (with immunizations at least). Now for the hard part - nursing school.

I go today to get my titer results (and possibly more shots) and for my 2nd TB skin test at 1PM. I am just praying that all of my results are in, otherwise, they too will be signing some sort of form to the affect. I am glad that they are working wi...

I am sorry to hear about your mom. I pray the best for her right now. I lost my mom almost 4 years ago to breast cancer that metastasized to her liver & lungs, I know how you are feeling as I felt the same way when she was first diagnosed. My ...

Glad to know that I am not alone in the race to get it done by X date. Mine are due by July 1. I have everything else done except the titers, which are supposed to be back by tmw. But I also have to come back for my 2nd series TB skin test. I mad...

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...

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.

Congrats Kangoshi08!! I got my letter on Saturday and I got in also. I am nervous, but I am sure that it will all be OK.

Non-nurse experience, "heard thru the grapevine", regular guy on the street says: patients go there TO die. I have not heard anything good about that hospital since the years when it was brand spanking new.

That's what I wanted to know, I assumed (bad I know!) that since it was connected with Mesa CC, that it pertained to the Sun City down there near Queen Creek and not out in the West Valley - so I had ixnayed that choice altogether.

Isn't Boswell part of the Mesa CC Nursing Program?

I agree that you have to come here and drive the areas to get a feel for the different communities. I agree with the pp who stated that ALL cities in the metro area have good and bad areas (if you drive far enough). I live in Glendale and am lookin...
