  1. Rio Salado Nursing Program: Is anyone currently in or completed?

    boru replied to boru's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Since no one answered the thread that is in or has completed the program, I think I'll shy away from that

  2. October 2007 Roll Call

    boru replied to boru's topic in Arizona Nursing

    KMM03, I agree. I have been noticing the numbers change almost by the day. But it's like watching paint dry! And by now, we all know that it's not even accurate. We all know we have a great shot at...

  3. MCCDNP Wait List... a new strategy

    boru posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    "Boru, you have not been placed"... I'm going to change my user name to the above message! Why can't we rank all choices (in this case 13) vs only 5 choices? No one on the top of the list would be...

  4. Grrr - MCCDNP Wait list

    boru replied to SNIXRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Boogs, Yes, it is true that one applicant equals one second... but all of the applicants are not standing in one line. Actually, to follow the "standing in line" analogy": There are 13 lines (# of...

  5. Grrr - MCCDNP Wait list

    boru replied to SNIXRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    They actually don't have a set date or time period when they make these runs (spring and fall). All of the programs nursing departments have to get them all the info first (how many slots, how many...

  6. Gateway LPN Fast Track

    boru replied to AZmom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    knit1, I think she's just kidding (JK)... but you're always very

  7. Gateway LPN Fast Track

    boru replied to AZmom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Has anyone heard about the LPN "lottery" yet?... outside of partnership seats, and last semester holdovers, has anyone been notified they got in

  8. October 2007 Roll Call

    boru replied to boru's topic in Arizona Nursing

    This is new info: I finally talked to some people down at Maricopa that are involved with this process and could access info about the white board and the 12-15 month grid vs the 9-12 month grid. They...

  9. October 2007 Roll Call

    boru replied to boru's topic in Arizona Nursing

    ErikandZaksMom, Welcome, and thanks for choosing our thread... your posting name is long but very descriptive (we may have to give you a nickname). I'll put your name on our updated list. Here's the...

  10. October 2007 Roll Call

    boru replied to boru's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Boogs, You're a good poster and I always laugh at your perspective. I'm going to disagree with you about a few of your points but I'll qualify myself 1st. I was a Paramedic for 10 yrs (not currently...

  11. October 2007 Roll Call

    boru replied to boru's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I hate to say this... but I've been suspecting the same thing that jke530 said for a while now. It doesn't make any logical sense but I'm not convinced that we are in the 12-15 month bracket yet. Just...

  12. October 2007 Roll Call

    boru replied to boru's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks for doing that Massage... (Congrats on Banner, I'm glad you didn't go the go the private route) Boogs youre in first place on this thread... youre 60 plus spots (seconds) in front of me......

  13. Grrr - MCCDNP Wait list

    boru replied to SNIXRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I think all of us October 07 people should make a thread tomorrow. I'll start one as a "roll call" and we can keep track of where we all

  14. Maricopa going to open more programs?

    boru replied to Calbrunette's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Stopnik and 2ndx, Your comments have a political tone to them... maybe starting another thread would be more

  15. Maricopa going to open more programs?

    boru replied to Calbrunette's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I know there is confusion about the "6 month waiting period" issue. Like popmode77, I have also heard this from more than one source (I've even heard it from an advisor). But I have found nothing in...

  16. Maricopa going to open more programs?

    boru replied to Calbrunette's topic in Arizona Nursing

    sassie, A little over a year ago, when I was putting in my RN program application, I received some advice from a Nursing Program advisor at a Maricopa community college (name I won't mention). I asked...

  17. Maricopa going to open more programs?

    boru replied to Calbrunette's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Correct, IIA is Ethel Bauer... if you check their name under "school query", you'll find their clinical schedule. I don't know of any partnership or talks of one. I do know that for the past 6 months...

  18. Maricopa going to open more programs?

    boru replied to Calbrunette's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The budget cuts most likely won't occur until we are in a program... after all, this is the government we're talking about here... budget cuts will have to be made somewhere... funding is on short...

  19. Anyone on wait list since 2007?

    boru replied to KMM03's topic in Arizona Nursing

    jke530, You've made a good point... Since you've watched it you may be correct. I'm really just trying to use the only facts we're given to figure out where I am. It doesn't make sense to me that we...

  20. Maricopa going to open more programs?

    boru replied to Calbrunette's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I got the survey and think that amers is correct... it seemed more about the wait and ways to improve the process of getting in. As a matter of fact, I heard last week on the 5:00 news, because of...

  21. Anyone on wait list since 2007?

    boru replied to KMM03's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm also time-stamped October 2007... and I also didn't get in... if you look at the bottom of this web page you'll see a grid: https://hceweb.maricopa.edu/CFIDE/docs/hcies/placementWtBd.cfm we'll be...

  22. Gateway LPN Fast Track

    boru replied to AZmom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    mild narcotics always seem to cheer me up ... seriously, we all feel your pain... a year and a half is extreme for an lpn program... but luckily with the hesi and block 3 availability, it'll be just...

    boru replied to AZmom's topic in Arizona Nursing

  25. Gateway LPN Fast Track

    boru replied to AZmom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If we all get in I'm nominating Glina as the class president!... and she didn't leave until 10:15am!... oh yes, you'll have my vote!!! Glina wants to be an LPN more than anyone I know... I'm already...
