  3. Does anyone really drop/fail Block I?

    Prettybrowngirl replied to Prettybrowngirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks pedi. I tell you--if it were not for my awesome husband, the constant encouragement from the RNs I work with to keep going, and my determination to be an RN, I would throw in the towel and say...

  5. Does anyone really drop/fail Block I?

    Prettybrowngirl replied to Prettybrowngirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Prettybrowngirl replied to Prettybrowngirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Prettybrowngirl replied to Prettybrowngirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks so much for the heads up PediRN. When I checked a while ago, I did not see an online class for Summer @ GW. I will definitely consider that option! That would give me a little more time to...

    Prettybrowngirl replied to Prettybrowngirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Prettybrowngirl replied to Prettybrowngirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wow. Your post was very insightful. I had a feeling that there was more to AP esp. for LPNs that did not go through MCCD. Doesn't make sense to me *shrugs* I have not taken the Hesi PN. Due to...

    Prettybrowngirl replied to Prettybrowngirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

  18. Any LPNs on the waiting list?

    Prettybrowngirl replied to Prettybrowngirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    No, I have kind of been dragging my feet a little. Guess I'm so worn out from doing these pre-reqs! I have to do the Hesi A2 and the Hesi PN. I start my last pre-req in a couple weeks and as soon...

    Prettybrowngirl replied to onetiredmomma's topic in General Nursing
