I just got placed today and start next week at SCC. my timestamp was 8/13/10 08:00:32

I really wish there were no drug seekers. Their abuse of the system makes it hard on everyone, the nurse, the doctor and especially patients that legitimately need pain relief. Plus, with their history of drug seeking behavior, it makes it hard to assess a real problem vs. a fake one. I think you did the right thing, better to be safe than sorry. If he was having a heart attack and you didn't call 911, it could have been a much worse outcome.

I feel the same way! I would be interested in the new program if I had all the pre-reqs for NAU, but I don't. I can't afford any other schools, even if their wait is shorter. To me, it's just not an option.

It's not impossible, but my concern is you are taking the 8 week versions. There's too much stuff to possibly do in 8 weeks to get a good grade.

Start stalking your local hospitals website job search. You'd be surprised some jobs only stay up for hours before they are gone. Apply to everything you can! Good luck!

Exactly! My friends and I joke, that your brain cells go out with the placenta! HAHA

Hi Anica, Did you get your nike plus yet? How do you like it? Is it working well for you? I am thinking of getting another one even though the last one I bought was defective. Amber

I hope yours works. Maybe I just got a defective one? oh well.

Well, if none of the CNA's smoke, then they should hire a CNA that smokes, that should take care of that.

I'm waiting to get into nursing school, but trying to get a job as transporter in the mean time. I bought the nike plus to take on walks, I take my son to school it's about 3 miles round trip. It stopped working after 1 mile, I could never get it to work again, so I returned it and the shoes. Good luck!

Getting into block 3 depends on someone failing block 2 and losing their place. So if no one fails, there are no openings. If 10 people fail there would be 10 openings, so there is no telling how long the wait is because it all depends on someone failing.

Mesa Community college is going to have a summer CNA class, they will be posting the schedule sometime in March.

You can't win the lottery unless you play.... You get the point. Keep applying! I'm sure they just have a ton of applicants.

Oh and their is no teaching at RIO... it's sink or swim, no help from teachers or "teaching" is provided. Only the class materials that cover 10 times more information than any person could absorb in the time frame, it's a crapshoot really.

Hi Blue... Not sure if you realized this thread was about 4 years old. I've taken BIO156 and BIO201 at rio... not fun. The midterms and finals usually have one or two essay questions that you have turned in an essay as an assignment and the other 2 or 3 are from the list of 40+ or whatever it is. Also use the quizzes on the cd that goes with the book or the books online website to access the chapter quizzes, I would take the quizzes over and over until i got a decent score. That helped on the 80 multiple choice questions. Hope that helps! Amber
