  1. BIO202 @ Maricopa Community Colleges vs. Rio

    amers_here replied to Davi3197's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I can't imagine taking either 201 or 202 online. I took both in class, and the labs are helpful (at least to me). I don't remember having any essays. Grades were mostly based off tests and lab...

  2. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    amers_here replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    You do not know better than the NCLEX questions. You don't know why the answer was wrong because it's the FIRST DAY of nursing

  3. how important is the quality of your tools during nursing school?

    amers_here replied to shelbias's topic in General Students

    We were told NOT to buy an expensive steth, because they tend to "walk off" during clinicals. So I assume that would go for all

    amers_here replied to mxems's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Well, I don't know what MCC's schedule is like, but I'm just starting at Phoenix College. I have lab on Tuesdays from 8:00-2:00, clinicals on Wednesdays (varied times), and then class on Thursdays...

    amers_here replied to CardioNRS~DAWN's topic in General Students

  7. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    amers_here replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    My List: -The whole family package (wedding, house, baby) when the time is right -I'll probably need a new car by then, not sure what though -A massage once a month for a year -A real bed! Not a...

  8. Congrats to my fellow Spring 09 MCCDNP students!

    amers_here posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yay! Finally, the wait is over! Which program did you all get into? Was it your top choice? I got into the traditional 4 sem at Phoenix College. It was my 5th choice because its forever away from...

  9. MCC nursing costs question???

    amers_here replied to KMM03's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I think they list estimated costs on the website somewhere. I'm just about to go into block 1, so here's a rundown of my expenses so far for Phoenix College: $350 for books (that's just the required...

  10. Maricopa going to open more programs?

    amers_here replied to Calbrunette's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I got the survey too. It sounded like they were more interested in how to improve the wait for prereqs, not the wait for the actual program. But it would be nice if they

  11. Congrats to my fellow Spring 09 MCCDNP students!

    amers_here replied to amers_here's topic in Arizona Nursing

  12. What type of nurse does everyone want to eventually end up being?

    amers_here replied to silentRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    At this point in time, my goal is L&D or something along the lines. But I may find something that interests me more in nursing

  13. MCC Wait List-schools with longer/shorter waits?

    amers_here replied to Calbrunette's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm so glad to hear all these good things about PC!

  14. MCC Wait List-schools with longer/shorter waits?

    amers_here replied to Calbrunette's topic in Arizona Nursing

    My boyfriend brought up a good point when I was talking to him about how I got into my 5th choice. He was saying its typical for programs like this to fill up the unpopular programs first, regardless...

  15. Anyone only have to wait only ONE semester to get in to nursing school???

    amers_here replied to bellabarbiegirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I think the only chance of getting in after only a semester would be the Banner program or working for JCL, etc, at least through the MCCD program anyway. It took me the average 3 semesters to get in....

  16. Grrr - MCCDNP Wait list

    amers_here replied to SNIXRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You can defer placement to the next semester one time before having to reapply and start all over

  17. MCCDNP Wait List... a new strategy

    amers_here replied to boru's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I very much agree with that, and wondered why they never did it that way. I'm willing (and will be) making the drive to a further college, but its worth it! And its definitely a pain not being able to...

  18. Congrats to my fellow Spring 09 MCCDNP students!

    amers_here replied to amers_here's topic in Arizona Nursing

  19. Grrr - MCCDNP Wait list

    amers_here replied to SNIXRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yea....definitely do that AZSamantha, because from what I've read of your other posts, you have the same date stamp as me and I got in. So definitely fill up your picks with high capacity programs if...

    Oh, and you can find out by going to the MCCDNP site and logging in with your student id, and they'll also mail you a

  21. Current wait time for MCCDNP...

    amers_here replied to sweetsmuckers's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yep, 3 semesters is just about right. And its a horrible horrible wait. Definitely use all 5 of your top picks though to increase your chances of getting in earlier, unless you have no way of getting...

  22. Grrr - MCCDNP Wait list

    amers_here replied to SNIXRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I was rather upset about that too. I think I had Scottsdale as my third pick. As soon as I saw that it had gone down to 10, I switched it. I hope you at least get into something, if not your top...

  23. The waiting game...

    amers_here replied to Hollybop's topic in Arizona Nursing

    *sigh* I'm with ya. I got my app in June 07. My advisor had told me to expect Fall 08 entry, but its looking like that may not happen. I called today and they told me its an average of a 3 semester...
