Congrats!! I'm in the same boat. Just found out I got a spot at the VA. I had the same feeling- knew it was for me from the moment I precepted there. I just love the population. Some of my classmates...
I was called by a nurse recruiter at the VA today and was told I was chosen for a psych RN position after an interview last week. I can't believe this and feel shocked, humbled & completely...
This afternoon, I was told by a fellow MCCD student that 200 nursing students failed to secure preceptorships during their 4th block. This apparently happened this past semester (occurred...
Thank you for your responses. I would think the more hours the better..... but when you look at preparation overall (clinical & lecture), NCLEX statistics put the pass rate of MCCDNP at 91 percent...
I am in the GCC weekend program, and am hoping to hear from GCC weekend students (or, any maricopa students who have been in block 4) about preceptorship scheduling. How is the preceptorship...
I have had two personal friends who have had extremely poor experiences at Arrowhead hospital. One almost lost her life due to a med error- which was totally sloppy & preventable. Overall,...

Nursing school is different than what we take in pre-reqs in that it requires critical thinking. Pre-reqs give you a good knowledge base for school, but they don't teach you how to answer questions...
Wow, I've never even heard of anything like that. Not a fun situation to be in. I'd call the board and ask them about what to do. I'm sure it won't cause a problem. It isn't like they can deny you...
Just a word of caution for all of those starving students out there (i'm in block 2 and know I'm not the only one!), these books might not stay the same for when you start the program. You may invest...

In any position, you work under the scope of that position and license. THATS IT. If you have RN skills but are working as a CNA, you use CNA skills ONLY (since that is what the scope of wat that...
Congrats on completing your program!! I wish you the best of luck with your exam! Most of us are hurting for money right now, and I suspect you will be hard pressed to get a donation. We have probably...
