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 what I understand the 1st year they didn't do inte...

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 house stinking of smoke... must have been a brush fir...

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 research projects. Mark

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 and your email address fails... Hard to answer a ...

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, Mark

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 results are submitted online. CA prices are much, ...

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! Mark

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

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 there isn't enough time in the day to spend 5 hou...

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 temps is the 1st we've seen; the norm would be da...

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... Mark

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

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 this one class completely I would strongly suggest ...

New Balance makes 811s in white with white laces, I just got a pair... Mark

Congrats and good luck... Mark

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... Good luck, Mark

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! Mark

1st a hint: If money is short (even though you can get M/S Office at student rates) check out Open Office. I have used it and found it to be able to open and work with all microsoft office files. I don't prefer it; but, it works AND ITS FREE! My de...

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 fellow nursing students... You'll have enough st...

I start NS Jun 9th. I just ordered the III (with a coupon for a student kit direct from 3M) from steele.com. I also had it engraved. good luck on the decision and in school! Mark

Use the online cost of living comparison utilities. Here is one...

Truck/van here. Mark

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 rent/buy in? I'm about 7 miles east and a mile or t...

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 difficult classes and I found they took a lot of time a...

Thanks and congratulations to you too! This summer is going to go by fast and then you'll be done! :) Mark
