    Pima CC Seat Shuffle

    Staragate replied to Staragate's topic in Arizona Nursing

    financial aid

    Staragate replied to d00d00butter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    With that kind of income, you can cut back your current standard of living to pay for school. Unless you live in California or NYC, of course. See how creative you can get with your finances to pay...

    Staragate replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    msjill has it right. I was doing sudoku in mine just to stay awake! Lecture, some basic assignments and minimal memorization. The content is either common sense or stuff that you would have covered in...

    has anyone taken the HESI A2?

    Staragate replied to RescueNinja2013's topic in General Students

    I have some extra time on my hands so I have been reading a Mosby's NCLEX exam prep book. I haven't started NS yet, but I think reading the study guide will prime me for when I learn it for 'real' to...

    Staragate replied to bmcm2girls's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Staragate replied to milksteak's topic in General Students

    Could someone post P&P's ISBN number. This is the book that I'm going to use, but the bookstore is out of stock and won't give me the number over the phone. It's $450 for that one book!
