  1. nursing schools in arizona

    JettaDP replied to lkjmp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on what are you're. If you're in Maricopa County, (Phoenix area), the cc's are not competitive. You complete the pre-req's, apply, and sit on a wait list for at least two years. As long...

  2. Better pay if Bilingual?

    JettaDP replied to Little Doe's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that you should use a translator. Absolutely. But if someone speaks a language well enough to ask them how the feel, how much does it hurt, and so on, what's to say they can't learn the...

  3. Better pay if Bilingual?

    JettaDP replied to Little Doe's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, use the Latin America

  4. Better pay if Bilingual?

    JettaDP replied to Little Doe's topic in General Nursing

    I've only been using it a month so I'm barely into the first disk. I am not even an 1/8 of the way through it and I have learned A LOT. I would not be a bit surprised if at least some medical...

  5. Better pay if Bilingual?

    JettaDP replied to Little Doe's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of Tagolog. Does Rosetta Stone have that language? I know they have a large selection of

  6. 4.0 all four semesters?

    JettaDP replied to brittney140's topic in General Students

    Thank you for that. After *ac* wrote that I felt really bad. I don't like my intelligence to be insulted so I hate that I did the same to

  7. Better pay if Bilingual?

    JettaDP replied to Little Doe's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely believe it. Once I am fluent in Spanish (and I WILL be darnit!) I am going to work on French and Italian. Since they are so similar to Spanish it should be much

  8. 4.0 all four semesters?

    JettaDP replied to brittney140's topic in General Students

    I wasn't implying that at all. I'm sorry if it came across that way. You're reading into my statement a little too much. I was simply expressing a thought on a fellow student. I wasn't trying to...

  9. Better pay if Bilingual?

    JettaDP replied to Little Doe's topic in General Nursing

    Even if you don't make more for being bilingual, it will certainly make your job A LOT easier. Especially in areas of high immigration, such as AZ. And I have 2 FYI's for: 1) I lived in Phoenix,...

  10. Help: Tattoo Ideas!!

    JettaDP replied to SRNA11's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I understand what jwk is trying to say. And it does make sense. But I don't entirely agree. As long as you aren't going to tattoo it on your forehead I would go ahead and do it. What is your most...

  11. Starting College in Fall.....classes?

    JettaDP replied to Nightingale11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just read a post about voice recognition programs. How cool are those? But I wouldn't suggest it for writing papers. I say this because the program may be able to type what you say word for word...

  12. Starting College in Fall.....classes?

    JettaDP replied to Nightingale11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I too think you have a good balance of classes. I wouldn't worry too much about English. Just be prepared to write essays. In my English class we wrote 5 short essays and one big essay for our...

  13. 4.0 all four semesters?

    JettaDP replied to brittney140's topic in General Students

    I am hoping to get into a top school for a Masters degree so I understand how you feel. People keep telling me that good grades aren't everything, but they are in some cases. I also know that the...

  14. With my mediocore GPA, is nursing school even possible?

    JettaDP replied to dimpalz25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A 3.0 may not be the best but it isn't horrible either. You just need to nail the pre-req's. If you do that, I think you will have a chance. But it also depends on your location and the different...

  15. Jobs for a pre-nursing student w/ no healthcare exp.

    JettaDP replied to Keen2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try working and doing a little volunteer work. I say this because nursing schools love to see volunteer work. And it doesn't necessarily have to be healthcare related. I volunteered with Habitat...

  16. My hands shake!

    JettaDP replied to Ang_RN's topic in General Students

    Thankfully I don't have this problem. I have a pretty steady hand. Even under pressure. I know I am very fortunate for this. Worst case scenario, you could always see a specialist. Or maybe a...

  17. Black scrubs?

    JettaDP replied to SaraO'Hara's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Do you wear them with skeletons on them? Because I think that is the difference. I think black scrubs with or without designs are fine, but not with

  18. Black scrubs?

    JettaDP replied to SaraO'Hara's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    IMO I think black scrubs with dancing skeletons is HIGHLY inappropriate in any health care setting. Especially in LTC where I imagine most of the patient are elderly. The patients may already be in...

  19. Jobs for a pre-nursing student w/ no healthcare exp.

    JettaDP replied to Keen2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Get certified as a CNA or a phlebotomist if you can. Go to a hospital and see what positions they have that are entry level. Try being a scrub tech. You don't have to be certified in anything. You...

  20. starting school this fall

    JettaDP replied to kassi30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you want to know what my grades were like in high school in my math and english classes? I barely graduated high school with a D in EVERY math and science class. How sad is that? But.........I am...

  21. Need Health and Liability Insurance and CPR Training Prior to First Semester? How?!

    JettaDP replied to Tallulahbelle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check and see if you qualify for state insurance such as Equality Care. That's what I have. And it's free. You just have to meet the income guidelines so if you're not planning on working this plan...

  22. How do I get accepted and where

    JettaDP replied to Austo4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you share some more information? Like what your current GPA is? At my school, you have to have a minimum of a 2.5 to be considered but since it is competive based, you realistically won't be...

  23. Starting College And Stuttering. Anyone?

    JettaDP replied to NurseEric81's topic in General Students

    When I was young I had a relatively minor speech problem. I had a harder time than most are getting my r's, s's, and l's out. To this day, I still have the problem. Not near as bad but it's still...

  24. Got Rejected

    JettaDP replied to GreenGlassCastle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't say that you said it was a bad idea. I wasn't trying to attack your opinion. I was just disagreeing and offering my point of view. I apologize if you felt that I was attacking

  25. I Got Accepted!!!

    JettaDP replied to LadyBug77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Awesome! It's a good feeling to get accepted. Congratulations and good
