  1. Rio or Phoenix College Bio201 - ONLINE

    Previous threads have indicated some student preferences of Phoenix College over Rio Salado for online Bio 201...I need to make a final decision on which college to take the class at and would appreciate some more indepth reason for one over the over...
  2. I need to take Patho this Spring, online. (In person is not an option for me, although I know most, if not all, posters will encourage in class only for this course). The class is offered online at Gateway and Phoenix ...by profs whose last names be...
  3. Cna programs

    I went to star canyon. They made sure everyone was ready to test. Small class size. They had evening, afternoon and all day options. Their website does not have much info, but if you stop in and talk to ----------------, he was very helpful. Last I c...
  4. June 2014 Caption Contest: Win $100!

    The policy places a freeze on hiring new people to fill vacancies....but says nothing about cloning ourselves...
  5. May 2014 Caption Contest: Win $100!

    My friends say I'm suffering from OCD because I see stethoscopes wherever I go....isn't that normal your first year?
  6. My story and some questions from a confused older student

    Fromthe sea---I want to make sure we are on the same page. You, of course are in the trenches, I am not...but I think there is a misunderstanding. I agree with you that there is a difference between PCT's and CNA's (and that PCT's are a higher leve...
  7. My story and some questions from a confused older student

    From what I understand, the pct class is useless. To work as a cna in a hospital (which is typically advertised as a pct position) you will see you just need your cna license from a state approved school. Just look up available pct positions at Banne...
  8. I am trying to figure out which program will best coordinate with my husband's schedule so that we are not constantly hiring babysitters... ASU Downtown (summers off OR 16 month program): It is my understanding both of these programs are primarily we...
  9. Journey...I just ran across this old thread...and I was just checking in...wondering whether you made the leap or kept your feet planted to the ground? Any second thoughts/regrets/feelings of confidence you made the right decision...whatever that de...
  10. ASU: what is the "typical" schedule (Mayo vs Downtown)?

    Thank you both for your informative feedback. SmilinJen, I am impressed with your family involvement and congratulations on a successful educational experience! And, wbthomas, good luck in this big semester!
  11. Rio Salado Biology

    I also took Bio 1 and 2 at Phoenix College ONLINE and received A's. I like that format much better than Rio. FYI a real good tip is to find audio recordings of Anatomy lectures online. You can download and listen to them on your mp3. I listened t...
  12. how to schedule class and work

    Phoenix college typically offers completely online A&P 1 and 2. Very doable. Decent online lab. Much better format than rio IMO. Some students will scoff that you cannot learn A&P online, but if you are a self-starter and put in the effort yo...
  13. Rio's Bio 201

    You may want to check out Phoenix College's Bio 201 online class. I see there are two classes available for the spring at PC. I took the class from the professor who is teaching the first-dated course beginning 1/14. He seemed to be a fair grader, ...
  14. ASU Post-bacc program

    ASU's 12-month post-baccalaureate program is definitely moving forward! Applications are due Oct. 1 (But you need to apply NOW to the ASU School of Nutrition and Health Promotion as a Health Science- Healthy Lifestyles Coaching major and be admitted...
  15. i'm still not even in nursing school but thought the below article from the phoenix business journal offers some hope for the new grads out there or those about to graduate (or those with experience looking to move to phoenix)! (the article does refe...
  16. chm130 (intro class) with lab - ONLINE

    I am looking for options for taking Chem 130 with lab...all ONLINE...anywhere other than Rio The only place I can find both the lab and the class online are at Rio. I took Bio156 at Rio, although I got an A, I strongly disliked their format. My d...
  17. chm130 (intro class) with lab - ONLINE

    Goodness! Thank you miteacher! I did not know South Mountain did online classes. Like an idiot, I think my original MCC search did not include South Mountain...I will give that a try...what is the format like at South Mountain? Is there just a mi...
  18. Flashcard Suggestion for A&P class

    Hi. I am taking a prereq course (Anatomy and Physiology) soon and was hoping to get a jump start on studying and assist my notetaking once the class begins. I figure A&P must be a class where there are already some really good flash cards out ...

  21. Confused

    peruse pa's board of nursing website http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/state_board_of_nursing/12515 their licensure information page appears to be: http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/state_board_of_nursin...
  22. Rio or Phoenix College Bio201 - ONLINE

    InspiredRN10...Thanks for info on PC tests being at home! I was frustrated when I looked at testing center hours since I work fulltime. I am thinking about emailing the 201 instructor at PC to see how the instructor handles the tests bc syllabus for...
  23. Rio or Phoenix College Bio201 - ONLINE

    Thanks AJhill00! For PC Students...what is the format like at PC? Can you take midterm/final on the weekend (for us fulltime working folks? I looked online, and it looks like their testing center is only open M-F. Or do you take you mid term and f...
  24. I agree with previous poster that your own financial and personal reasons will likely determine your answer. I, too, am waiting to get in...but I also have a full time job in another field.. The only silver lining of waiting is that maybe the glut o...
  25. Previous edition books?

    I have a friend in the publishing biz and she advises me that companies will make some very slight changes (read not a substantive change or two) just so they can release a "new" edition for all to us to pay for!
