  3. Best/Fastest/Cheapest online programs for BSN and MSN/NP?

    JessLP replied to JessLP's topic in General Students

    Wow! Thanks for the links! I did a search and read a bunch on BSN programs but had a hard time finding any talk of "block" programs that weren't private for-profit schools. I'll take a look through...

  4. Single mom wanting to do nursing!!

    JessLP replied to mommy2babyb's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm not a mom, so take my thoughts with the grain of salt they're worth... but... You're probably looking at 2 - 3 years by the time that you graduate with an ADN. Your son will be 5 - 6 by then....

  5. BIO 205?

    JessLP replied to koalakoala's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I took A&P online but could never imagine doing micro online. I highly suggest taking it in person. If you live in the east valley, check out TB (his initials, and no, he doesn't have...

  6. Nursing School Scholarships/Grants

    JessLP posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi everyone, I know that a lot of us on this board are students, so I thought it might be nice to have a thread full of scholarship and grant opportunities. I found that the National Student Nurses...

  7. Maricopa Skill Center

    JessLP replied to nurse2b83's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I started school on Friday at MSC. So far so good, I guess. It's kind of annoying that the first block is basically CNA and A&P stuff, since I've already done both. Hopefully it'll be a fairly...

  8. Starting at MSC on Sep 25th and SO NERVOUS!

    JessLP posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    MSC starts on September 25th. Everything is in place. I'm so nervous! I have no idea what to expect! I picked up an NCLEX-PN study guide and have no idea what most of the stuff is in there, so I'm...

  10. Anywhere in the Phoenix metro area hiring w/ schedules to accomodate nursing school?

    JessLP posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Does anyone know of places hiring that offer schedules that would accomodate nursing school? I'm looking for a job that will work around a nursing school schedule. I've been applying to nursing homes,...

  11. Anywhere in the Phoenix metro area hiring w/ schedules to accomodate nursing school?

    JessLP replied to JessLP's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Good ideas for people needing to cut down on expenses. We currently own both of our cars outright and I work too far away to use public transportation right now. I do have a tiny, fuel-efficient car,...

  12. Anywhere in the Phoenix metro area hiring w/ schedules to accomodate nursing school?

    JessLP replied to JessLP's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm able to get more hours at a CNA right now so I'm able to make ends meet, but it's going to be tough. I should be able to get 45 to 55 hours a week. The only down side is that there are no...

    JessLP replied to nurse2b83's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I don't know who J and D are. I've only worked with A and don't know about anyone else at MSC. Would you mind PMing me names and numbers if you have them? I would really, really appreciate it. I have...

    JessLP replied to nurse2b83's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks for the advice, arizdolphin. I really appreciate it. When you started did your classes start the Monday after class registration? I just got my letter telling me to register on September 25th...

  16. Anyone applying to Maricopa Skill Center?

    JessLP posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi everyone, After much research and debate I've decided that the best route for me is to go to the Maricopa Skill Center for my LPN and then the community college for my RN. I have everything...

    JessLP replied to nurse2b83's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Well, keep stressing... the administration isn't seeming like they're on the ball, but they have a super high NCLEX pass rate so it can't be a bad school. Make sure that you keep on the financial aid...

  18. How difficult is CHM130? Good Instructors?

    JessLP replied to club space miami's topic in Arizona Nursing

    BIO201 is a pre-req so it needs to be completed before application. Here's a link to the actual application: http://nursing.maricopa.edu/pdfdocs/NursingApp.pdf The co-reqs for progression into Block 3...

  19. How difficult is CHM130? Good Instructors?

    JessLP replied to club space miami's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There are accelerated BSN programs for people with a bachelors in another field, but having a BA doesn't move you up on the waiting list. You can get on the waiting list without completing BIO202 and...

  20. CNA class offered at PVCC.. should I ???

    JessLP replied to Lizzyru's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I don't see how a CNA could hurt. I, personally, haven't had any luck getting hired at a hospital, but I'm using my CNA to do home health work and hope to do that through my LPN program. I don't know...

  23. Anywhere in the Phoenix metro area hiring w/ schedules to accomodate nursing school?

    JessLP replied to JessLP's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm totally open to working double weekends. I'm already working 25 hours over the weekend, so another 7 hours wouldn't be much more, and it'd come with extra pay and benefits. The problem is I can't...

  24. Cost of books....

    JessLP replied to TinkRN8's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I've used textbooks.com for my pre-req classes. The books were pretty inexpensive and they'll even buy them back from you when you're
