Does anyone know what color uniforms are required for Mesa Community College? Can you have a cardigan any color or do you have to have a certain color, type etc.? Trying to get as much as I can before all the rest hits. Alot of stuff to buy that is n...

I only got a brief summary of shedule in my packet, looks like all days, and maybe nothing on friday or the weekend. Will find out more on Jan 12th which is orientation. I was placed in the 2 year traditional. Summers off, school breaks etc. About a...

Jobs are tight here too, all over about the same. So many new grads, so few places wanting to take on the expense of training them. There is a waiting list here too, as far as I was told, one way or another at all the schools. Most of us have waited ...

I have read so many posts about new nurses not finding jobs, or at the very least not finding the ones they had hoped for. It's this way, pretty much, all over right now. I know it's very disheartening, to wait, finally get in, pass, and then this hu...

Wonderful! Thank you so much for your reply. I will look for those shoes, not a lot of choices here in Casa Grande, so guess the mall up in Chandler would be a good start; and the price is right. Also will save me from buying a cardigan if we will on...

Aug 8th 2008, around 8:53 in the morning. I was told two to three years, so never gave the time stamp too much of a thought. I got in for the spring, according to what i was told, because so many have dropped due to the economy, no grant money, the p...

I have been told by a maricopa admin staff member, that I will certainly be in class in 2010. Since school is expensive enough, I want to "collect" as many things now; before the tutition comes due, as I can. Shoes, being my current item. I imagine w...

Thanks, yep, want the most comfortable for the lest amount of $. Things are so rough right now. And too, something that I can wear after schooling. I have found many comfortable shoes in my price range, just none of them were totally white, some smal...

Well I'm down for all choices as well, but then so are a lot of the people on the lists. Think about how many finish up the pre's and apply, quite a lot of us. Tons of would be nurses. And that's just counting the students, not the LVN's that decided...

Hi, you know it's hard right now for many of us to know what to do. The economy is very tough. I am fifty-four, and have probably another year to go to get in; I am on the waiting list as well. I would really hesitate, to accumulate large debt right ...

Heath care is. But in a depression, nothing is for sure. And that's what we are sliding into; fast. Experienced nurses, will have much more job security than us new grads. But some of them will lose jobs as well. Why spend the money training if they ...

Sounds good to me. The coordinator did tell me it could be longer, but so many are dropping, or not getting grants due to the economy. So that could move those of us that can stick it out, up. Right now, I think I am more worried about program cuts. ...

Yes, thanks, that helps me. Guess I'm free to go and do whatever while I wait. Hopefully they don't start closing down programs anytime soon, have been following the news. Maybe I should give that up. Always bad these days.

Hi, no idea of where we are. Mine was in Aug o8. I have tried calling several times to try and find this out. I keep getting directed to call someone else, then someone else, then am told; someone else will return my call. So far, no "someone" has. I...

Yes, stop crying! It will give you nothing but a headache. In is in, however it comes about. All the red tape and shifting around the schools do, doesn't count, for you, getting in and getting to the career you want, is the prize. The whole process i...

Sounds like their back up plan for an empty chair. Don't know where you are going to school, but wouldn't worry about being an alternate. If you get in, great. Here we wait on a list, and wait and wait etc. So just hang on and if you do get in, just ...

Time to celebrate! The wait is over. You know, people get in to other schools, quit, get married, get divorced, move and get pregnant; there could be so many reasons. Sounds like someone turned it down for whatever reason. So, no problem. Congrats.

You should get a medal for courage. That has to be tough. I have a husband who cooks, cleans and takes care of everything while I am in school. When my kids were little, I took classes but nothing like the work and stress involved with nursing. So pr...

lol. no, I'm the later age; 54. I have been the oldest thru all my classes. Most of my co students were just out of high school. In micro there was one lady in her 30's. Later as in not just out of high school.

Yes, and we have the advantage of that history lesson so we are not totally blindsided.

Nurses are coming out of retirement or back into nursing from other jobs. Quite a few of my friends are back on the floor somewhere. Many reasons due to the horrible economy right now. Husband lost job, or took a pay cut, (like mine; he was hit with ...

I have dealt with this all through school. Either they are texting or having extended conversations about last night's date, or the coming weekend, etc. Being an older student; most of the ones wasting their time were younger by quite a bit than me; ...

Well, some won't be. LOL.

I am old enough to be your mom and am now "lady in waiting". Have been on the list for almost a year, with a predicted 3-4 semester wait. Never too old, considering overall health, to begin a new career and to do something you have always wanted. Onl...

Hi, our school did not offer cadavers. I took my A & P online and it was fine. The thing I like about online classes is that the class never ends. You can be online 24/7 and go over and over whatever you need. Teachers are still available to you ...
