If any of you out there have taken the HESI A2 for any of the Maricopa Colleges, would you like to share your experience? Can you compare it to the NET? What was your score? Did it focus on any particular types of questions for the Math etc..? Thank...

I just got my acceptance letter this week for the Spring 2011 LPN fast track program at Gateway!! The letter came in the mail saying that I got into the evening program (which was my first choice). I applied in April, so I only waited one semester! I...

I am going to apply to the RN program at SCC. I wanted to work at SHC while completing my NA certification and through nursing school. I think SHC will pay for your schooling if you are a part of the "partnership," but I believe it is only available ...

I can't seem to decide if I should take BIO 205 online or in person! RioSalado is the only online Maricopa college that I would take the course, although, you have in person midterms and finals. Help! What do you suggest?

bear with me; this is a long first post. apologies. :redbeathe i find myself constantly having lots of questions and spending so much time searching for answers. it seems that there are so many tips and tricks about all these nursing programs that ...

Do you happen to know who they will be filling the open slots with? I am guessing probably from the group who did not get placed for this Fall?

many of us are waiting very anxiously to get into a nursing program! let us know when your time stamp is (for maricopa ccs), how long you have been waiting, if you just got accepted, or anything else you feel like sharing! we all need some enc...

alright, i am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but it be. i am assuming the "special programs" you are talking about it the same thing as the "mcccd hospital partnerships" 1. copy and paste this link in your address bar (it seems to o...

that is a great question. it does not work for me anymore, but when i go to my internet "history" it works. it seems like the url keeps changing. i tried it again and this is what the url was: https://hceweb.maricopa.edu/cfide/docs/hcies/placement...

wow, congratulations! i wish i would get an email like that!

i am definitely planning on getting my bsn also through the asu-mcccd alliance. the fact that you can lock in tuition is great!

i did not know there was a summer program... i just applied during the april 2010 turn-in period!

maricopa colleges: tip 1: take your net/hesi2a (entrance exam) well before you want to submit your application! some people wait to take it until they have completed all of their prerequisites. the problem is, not everyone passes the first time and...

i am happy that you appreciate the posting! i was looking for it and could not find one, so i just decided to create one... i am sorry! that sounds like a nightmare. the link that rn2bein2012 posted actually gives the exact time that the last student...

thank you for the link! i did not know about that!

hey! it is called "medical terminology for health care workers i." it is not a "required" course, but it is only one credit and it is a really good class to take while you are waiting. i am thinking about doing phlebotomy fall 10 and it is a pre/core...

cd1234: how exciting! are you a sch employee? that seems like a really short wait. congratulations! msiegel: i am sure you will get in this spring. i am taking 202 online right now too, but i am taking it with phoenix college. i took bio 101 at ri...

i still have quite a long ways to go! i just got my time stamp today for the maricopa ccs ! it is 04/16/2010 08:00:50am!! i have no idea if that is good or not, but it is exciting to see that i am officially "waiting" (even though it seems like i ha...

I am also looking for a CNA job and the only places that seem to hire CNA's without experience are LTC facilities. I applied for the RN program as a backup. I don't see the harm in it!

i did the cna program at scc and it was only about a month long program (jan. 5 - feb 11). i will take my certification test this month though. the cost on the scc website (http://www.scottsdalecc.edu/healthsci/nursing_assistant_class/index.html) say...

Have you thought of starting as a CNA? SCC offers the course and it is only 6 weeks; I do not know if you could swing that with your current situation. I think other Maricopa colleges offer it as well. Many hospitals who hire CNA's will often give ex...

I just got an e-mail from Scottsdale Healthcare asking me to schedule an interview for the position I applied for (Nursing Assistant)!! I have applied for several jobs there and this is the first time they want to interview me... What should I expect...

Thank you! I should find out next week what the verdict is!

I interviewed with two different people and I think both meeting went very well! I do not have a lot of experience though. It is a float pool position is at Osborn. They occasionally send people to Thompson Peak as well..

I just finished my CNA class at Scottsdale Community College today(!!) and I would suggest it. http://www.scottsdalecc.edu/healthsci/nursing_assistant_class/index.html
