  1. MCC or ASU?

    fromtheseaRN replied to JRdaMacman's topic in Arizona Nursing

    apply to both. that's what i did, and ended up in the gcc weekend program (got a scholarship through a single parents program that let me bypass the wait list). or, if your last school offers it, do...

  2. Maricopa Wait List Question

    fromtheseaRN replied to booblu's topic in Arizona Nursing

    i'd wait it out. i just posted this under another thread, but many people have realized that they can bypass the RN waitlist by doing their LPN then jumping into block 3. since so many people are...

  3. Moving to Phoenix...need school advice?

    fromtheseaRN replied to sincerebliss's topic in Arizona Nursing

    this was the quickest way to bypass the long RN wait, however everyone caught on to it... i just started block 3, which is the block that LPNs join at, and several of the LPNs waited for 2-3 semesters...

    fromtheseaRN replied to Paulie G's topic in General Nursing

  8. People in healthcare should speak Spanish, she said

    fromtheseaRN replied to Paulie G's topic in General Nursing

  16. Eyes & Thighs - is this an act of battery?

    fromtheseaRN replied to 33-weeker's topic in Ob/Gyn

  17. Pregnant and nursing school... full or part-time?

    fromtheseaRN replied to magn1jes's topic in General Students

    fromtheseaRN replied to 33-weeker's topic in Ob/Gyn

  22. Congrats to St Joe's!

    fromtheseaRN replied to Kabin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    fromtheseaRN replied to lilmac81's topic in Arizona Nursing

    you made a very wise decision! on top of getting your foot in the door at a hospital, they may also pay your nursing tuition. i did not do cna- but, i would suggest getting a good littman steth since...
