    AZMOMO2 replied to azgirl84's topic in Arizona Nursing

    ambigious lab's, tons of essay questions, and of course the famous application paragraphs, random midterm and final... so yeah the same as the rest of the science courses at

  3. cant pay back school loans, garnish wages?

    AZMOMO2 replied to cawkazn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You can also get a forbearance which requires zero paperwork proof that the deferment would require. You can clear up your past due and be current and get a good amount of time ( I think at least 1...

  7. Which School Would You Choose?

    AZMOMO2 replied to slrberry's topic in LPN to RN

    I weighed the exact same options and since I work full time as an LPN... I chose University of Phoenix. They had me slated to start in Feb but pushed the date up to December 20th. I go to class to...

  8. BIO 202 and BIO 205 same semester? Good/bad idea?

    AZMOMO2 replied to smilinjen's topic in Arizona Nursing

    All Rio sciences are the same format! 205 is no exception. Take it in person you will learn more and be less stressed. Look into Gateway they usually have a Sat class. If you can pick the teacher...

  9. chm130 (intro class) with lab - ONLINE

    AZMOMO2 replied to MacMaster's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I tried to take Chm130 at Rio but it was exactly like all their other sciences. The hardest part was figuring out how to write an application paragraph on a chemistry example. The midterm was hard of...

  10. Any LPN-BSN University of Phoenix students out there?

    AZMOMO2 replied to AZMOMO2's topic in School, College Programs

    They accepted all my credits that were a B and above. The program takes about as long as it takes to finish all the co-reqs required. You take 1 class every 5 weeks. You can't start the core nursing...

  11. I need advice...

    AZMOMO2 replied to plblondee's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Volunteer.. you are considered a technical employee and get first crack at jobs that you are qualified for once they post because you see internal postings. If you do not have a CNA already get one...

  12. Question about Gateway CC's FTPN program and taking other classes

    AZMOMO2 replied to hotnurseintraining's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Not the co-reqs... just your nursing classes and HESI-PN... they want successful students. But its the fact that taking a co-req at the same time takes away alot of reading time you will need in Block...

    AZMOMO2 replied to LVNfairy's topic in LPN to RN

    I have been going back and forth with the LPN-RN (ADN) or LPN-BSN decision myself, and although the money is higher than I want to spend I just don't see a way around having to go the route of LPN-BSN...

  14. SCC Block One Hazing

    AZMOMO2 replied to Bormio's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Nursing as a career is an endurance test. Nursing school is a cake walk compared to the types of environments there are out there in the working world. Somedays everyone is out to get you, when all...

  15. Question about Gateway CC's FTPN program and taking other classes

    AZMOMO2 replied to hotnurseintraining's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It can be done but if you can get it out of the way before starting I recommend it. First Block is pretty hard because there is such a change in the way you are used to learning and there is VERY...

  17. whats your honest opinion concerning med aides?

    AZMOMO2 replied to sasha2lady's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Don't like the idea one bit! Cheap labor is all it is... medications can be dangerous! They do allow them in AZ... but are rarely used. On the other hand I would love a CNA to help or do some of the...

    AZMOMO2 replied to sasha2lady's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    We just went through this and in the end major med errors can not be over looked and require terminiation. Mind you this decision was made knowing full well we would be scrambling for coverage until...

  20. LPN mistake??

    AZMOMO2 replied to tillyrn2b's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think the reason that many people that started working as an LPN and stay do so because they find the paycheck great, get used to it and find the RN role not for them, or dread the fact of starting...

  21. Opinions for a new LPN and narc issue

    AZMOMO2 replied to Brookenicole84's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  25. does anyone have a very general idea of what an LPN does on the everage day?

    AZMOMO2 replied to glitterygirl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    All of the above is the life of an LPN in LTC... but remember that those things all are done for about 20-30 residents at the same time! Of course they hire LPN's in a doctor's office too. I can only...
