  1. FREE TUITION - FREE BSN - University of Arizona

    mcbismark replied to nursing123098's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm playing hooky from my UA ASBN studies right now; so, I thought I'd try and answer some questions... 1) The interview questions were not difficult; I think they wanted to see how you respond (from...

  2. Summertime in the Valley!

    mcbismark replied to RainDreamer's topic in Arizona Nursing

    No pool in the rental house (while in the UA ABSN); but, then again I don't have time for lounging in the pool! :) I thought the boomers would hit yesterday and all we got was wind (woke up to the...

  3. University of Arizona ABSN

    mcbismark replied to Shar81's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Glad you pm'd me... I haven't had a lot of time to visit the site. The new students (I'm one) are busy being stunned by the pace... the students who graduate in Aug are busy writing their final group...

  4. Wild Color Stethoscope?

    mcbismark replied to tofutti's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I ordered from http://www.steeles.com and it went well... I got what I ordered when they said I would get it. I would recommend them to anyone. Mark KC, your preferences don't let anyone send you a PM...

  5. Would you marry a female MD?

    mcbismark replied to cgun101's topic in Men in Nursing

    Why does any profession matter? You marry for love, money or something physical. The 1st sets you up for life; the other 2 set you up for divorce. Good luck,

  6. BIO 202 at RIO (online)?

    mcbismark replied to RobynBobbin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Testing has been covered; but, basically you setup a place to take the exam with a proctor (a local school/teacher/officer (if in the Military) might agree to sit with you). Labs are done at home and...

  7. Older Nursing Student 1st Timer

    mcbismark replied to NewMexicoJohn's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Sounds like there might be more than one person doing the drive... carpool and do nclex flash cards every day... you'd have more review time than any other students!!! Good luck!

  8. Would You Prefer a Male Nurse?

    mcbismark replied to djc1981's topic in Male Nursing Students

    With 18 operation scars on my legs... Male or female? I couldn't care less; just an excellent nurse will do for me.

  9. Older Nursing Student 1st Timer

    mcbismark replied to NewMexicoJohn's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Congrats! I pretty much made the same decision a year and a half ago. I start at UA's ABSN in 2 weeks. The 115m from home in Tempe to UA in Tucson was too much of a commute (in an accelerated program...

  10. moving to arizona from UK

    mcbismark replied to bettyboop's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Congrats on the move! After 21 years here in Apr we still like the weather... as long as the pool is there for the summers and the spa is there in the winter we're good... :) This year's rain with low...

  11. BIO 202 at RIO (online)?

    mcbismark replied to RobynBobbin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The mid-term and final did kill mine... high 80s is not what I wanted in A&P... I didn't have much choice in how to take them and get them all done though...

    mcbismark replied to kirs's topic in Arizona Nursing

    tick, tick, tick... We're down to weeks... almost days! :)

  13. BIO 202 at RIO (online)?

    mcbismark replied to RobynBobbin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I also took all my pre-reqs online from Rio... IMO 1) if you haven't taken an online class previously, do not take a difficult class in an accelerated format. 2) if you can not dedicate yourself to...

    Congrats and good luck...

  16. Age Factor

    mcbismark replied to rpc19's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Not that I can tell... I applied at 54 and was accepted. I'll start, in less than a month, at 55; and, if all goes well, I'll take the NCLEX after Aug '09. So... hit the books and study hard and......

    mcbismark replied to Scrubz's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Just ordered a Cardiology III with engraving from http://www.steele.com they engrave and as a bonus their prices were right at the low end of the scale! Congrats and good luck!

  18. Concerns About Relationships In/After Nursing School

    mcbismark replied to dfj22's topic in Men in Nursing

    I wouldn't be too concerned... you'll find women to be the same in every profession... weird and wonderful! Under "Danger, Danger, Wil Robertson" I would suggest that you read the threads on dating...

  19. Littmann Cardiology III Stethoscope or Classic II S.E?

    mcbismark replied to futurern123's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  22. U of AZ Interview for ASBSN!

    mcbismark replied to kirs's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I think I heard 1500 is the 1st and thereafter it will be 500 a semester. I'm going to be moving down from Tempe in late May; might even be after Memorial day that I actually move. What area did you...

  23. A & P II Lab killing me!

    mcbismark replied to Mat4mel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P I&II from Rio Salado a community college in Tempe AZ. They allow you to take the class online elsewhere as long as you can set up proctored exams. Note: A&P I&II are a...
