Has anyone heard of Fortis college? New to Phoenix Thanks

Ok...so I started writing down what I eat and "planning" exercise and I have gained 3 lbe...which probably doesn't sound like much...but...It is a trend that I seem to be unable to control...I seem to be on this "weight gain" conveyor belt that I cant stop or reverse...or even slow...This is not how I want my new year to go. I cannot afford weight watchers or Doctor diets and I can't afford a gym membership let alone a personal trainer Thanks for listening to my rant Sander6 Thanks for listening

Ok so we all want to lose weight...now what? Accountability...exercise...food tracking...motivation How do we make this work?

Thank you for starting this thread I am waiting for my finger print card (submitted in October) and hoping to start my CNA program in Jan. (no finger print card...no program...it is a pre-req) I am "swallowing" my stress...and gaining...wanting to lose before school starts. Support would be very helpful

I am hoping/praying to get into the CNA program at my local community college in January...I am just waiting for my fingerprint clearance card to come back...My prayer is that I get the card BEFORE the class fills up...It is killing me...the wait...I know the clearance will go through...but they won't let me apply until it does..grrrrr

I am hoping to get into a CNA program in January...just waiting for my finger print clearance to come through...the wait is making me crazy....Praying that there will still be a spot for me.... Thank you all for these comments and insight

I am trying to figure out the whole financial aid issue myself Does anyone have information for Aid in AZ? I am hoping to get into the Fast track program at Gateway community in the Fall Any help or ideas would be GREATLY appreciated thanks Sander6

I am refering to the fast track program in Phoenix AZ at Gateway community center...

After a week in BIO 201 I realized that I was in over my head...(MY last science class was in the 70's) I will start over with BIO 187 in the Spring...I am a little discouraged, but It is important and I want to get it right...But I just pushed everything back a year I am beginning to wonder about the fast track program at Gateway...any input? Thanks

Happy to announce I survived my first Anatomy lab!!! And I wasy of course the oldest girl in the lab and my poor 19yr old partner was more interested in getting a date then figuring out the lab ...I think she was successful

Good morning fellow pre-nursing students! I too am an older student...actually I am quite a bit older...I am 52 and still have three of my pre-regs to get thru. I start BIO 201 in about an hour (I am a little nervous) Nursing has been something I have always wanted to pursue and I am finally going for it!! Say a prayer for me... Thank you for all of the encouragement..this sight it partly why I have the courage to get this going

thanks for the input Would someone mind giving me insight into my job prospects after the LPN or RN? Must admit my age (52) and math/science skills worry me My goal is labor and delivery... Thank you

Good morning all I too have some questions about the fast track LPN program my goal in nursing is to work in labor and delivery. I am currently a childbirth educator and doula. I am trying to decide which program will most benefit my working goals...I have already several general ed. credits and some math... I don't want to get through the fast track program and realize that I should have just stuck it out for my RN I am not a kid and want to make the best choice based on my career goals, age and financial situation Any comments...advice? thanks P.S. I really have learned a ton from reading these postings Thank you to all
