  1. ADN or BSN programs w/ NO WAITLIST?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to nnicolee's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I go to Phoenix College (part of the MCC system) and will be waiting at least three semesters - I have little choice because I don't have the cash to go somewhere else, and my employer is picking up...

  2. Ages of male nursing students?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to Stearnsy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    that's partly my story too. when i was 18 (back in ancient times - lol ) not only did i not really have a clue as to what i wanted to do with the rest of my life, but nursing back then (late 60's...

  3. Is anyone not taking summer classes?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to Ike Arumba's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    as much as i myself would like to hurry up and get finished with this, i like having my summers off just to "rest" a bit and recoup. i'm male, 56 y.o. and returning to school for nursing having...

  4. Freaking out about BIO201...Please Help!

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to CDMZG's topic in Arizona Nursing

    This may mess up your timetable a bit, but I would honestly suggest that you take your basic biology first. I've taken both BIO 201 and BIO 202, and did well on both (B in both - 201 I missed an A by...

  5. Reading alot of posts discussing "A" nursing students vs "C" nursing students

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    No, that's not what I wrote - go back and re-read my post again. I clearly was writing in my entire statement about my ongoing grade for the class as a whole. You are either not correctly...

  6. Reading alot of posts discussing "A" nursing students vs "C" nursing students

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I would not let it come to that point, where I actually would have to accept a C as a final grade. I monitor and keep track of my progress very closely as I go along in a typical class. For example,...

  7. Reading alot of posts discussing "A" nursing students vs "C" nursing students

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Exactly. This is why I also strive to get an "A" in every class I take. No, I don't have a perfect 4.0 (3.667 - I ended up getting a few B's so far) but I still try to work for an A. My own personal...

  8. How old is too old?!?!?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to Amy Married to Art's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are never "too old" to do something like this. I just turned 56 last month and I only have one co-req left to do in my pre-nursing. I'm already assured a spot in a local community college nursing...

  9. Ages of male nursing students?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to Stearnsy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It really hasn't hurt me any - as someone else mentioned maybe this is actually a blessing in disguise LOL Most of my classes have been mostly young women below 25 and the only time I've been in a...

  10. Ages of male nursing students?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to Stearnsy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I just turned 56 last month and have only one co-req left to take... Started pre-nursing classes at age 54. When I first started I had a notion that maybe I could join little informal student study...

  11. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's what I've done already - I have a supply of NIOSH N95 respirator masks at home, boxes of latex gloves and a portable water filter that filters down to 1 micron. We also have emergency things at...

  12. Any males out there tired of the drama?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Male Nursing Students

    If what you do in that personal life reflects poorly in any way on the nursing program, or causes it's reputation or credibility to be publicly harmed significantly, yes. This is actually the policy...

  13. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The scenario presented in the original question clearly stated that the pandemic would have up to an 80% mortality rate in the 0 to 40 y.o. age range. Social order would break down and panic would be...

  14. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I would have to have my own PPE, which I already have now, plus I'd want to make sure my own family is as protected as they can be first. With those two things taken care of, yes I would continue to...

  15. Waiting Has a Magnificent Purpose

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to jesjay's topic in General Nursing

    He has never failed me either - With God, all things are possible

  16. Waiting Has a Magnificent Purpose

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to jesjay's topic in General Nursing

    You mentioned that "God never fails to impress me..." The light that shines from within you out to others is something that no school can teach. When a person allows God to work within them, everyone...

  17. Ages of male nursing students?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to Stearnsy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I just turned 56 last month. I am pretty much finished with my pre-reqs and co-reqs, (3.69 GPA so far) passed the NET with scores of 97 math and 94 reading comp, and am on the waiting list to be...

  18. Any males out there tired of the drama?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Male Nursing Students

    dbscandy: I am 56 y.o., male, and in school for nursing. In all the years I've worked, I've always made it a conscious deliberate practice to keep my work & professional life totally and...

  19. Any males out there tired of the drama?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I've found that study guides prepared by someone else don't really help much - part of the learning and studying value you get is from actually compiling and organizing the study guide yourself in a...

  20. How many semesters did YOU wait???

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to bellabarbiegirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Here's where I go periodically to check my application status: https://hceweb.maricopa.edu/CFIDE/docs/hcies/studentStatus/index.cfm You actually have to log in to check your individual status, and/or...

  21. How many semesters did YOU wait???

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to bellabarbiegirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It can be, if you let it.... I've been told I probably won't get in until Fall of 2010, but I am crossing my fingers and hoping for a miracle of sorts. I got my date/time stamp on 20 February - still...

  22. Any males out there tired of the drama?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm sure this has already been mentioned - haven't read each and every reply yet, but men and women react differently to stress and stressful situations. Neither one is right or wrong, good or bad,...

  23. Advantage for Speaking Spanish?

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm on the waiting list now to get into nursing school, just about all of my pre-nursing done, but I want to continue taking classes so that I remain in "school mode" and will probably take more...

  24. All About the NET

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like I posted earlier on this discussion thread, the reading comp part is what you really have to watch out for. I scored a 97 on the math, and a 94 on the reading, and I thought the reading was...

  25. BIO 202 professor recommendations - HELP

    AZ_LPN_8_26_13 replied to kss0740's topic in Arizona Nursing

    What about Private Messages? I mentioned a few by name privately in a private message to the original poster - did not post it to be publicly seen by
