To all of those who got accepted a BIG Congratulations to all of you! For those who did not, keep plugging away, your day too shall come...eye on the prize...eye on the prize. I started this new thread in the hopes of those of us attending the July...

Hey gang...I apparently wasn't receiving notifications of new posts being entered in this thread for some reason that is why I have been off the radar. Hope everyone is well. Sorry I didn't know about the last meet and greet or I would have made it o...

Hey...please don't think or take my post as saying you or anyone wasn't or isn't committed to this program. Didn't mean it that way at all. We will all have adjustments to make I'm sure. I was just generalizing

ruco19...glad you can make that time...woohoo! Looking forward to meeting all of you as well

It is breakfast/lunch restaurant...several throughout valley. So Monday @ 12:30pm (6-14-10) at: FirstWatch 9645 N. Black Canyon Hwy. (I-17 & Dunlap-jst north of) Phoenix, AZ 85021 602-943-3232 Gives Jennaz some extra time and I just realized I h...

Okay Three of us for Monday...we need Jennaz and ruco19 to weigh in on this and perhaps we have a day finally...lol. Time and place the same? That okay for you guys? (11am FirstWatch)

Oh and anytime Monday works for me

Okay so Saturday is definitely out...next! LMAO

Again, unless somethings changed, to my knowlege they are the Carribean Blue uniforms (Landau) with the Maricopa Community College Nursing Logo. Pro Apparel in Tempe is best place to go I have heard. I guess when we get that information packet there ...

"So I was reading the post by the person that said we could buy our uniforms from craigslist... Umm did I miss something? Maybe I just assumed that they provided us with our uniforms, I can understand if we just wanted extra pairs, just wondering." ...

ruco19...all I can say is that we all should be VERY prepared to give up lots of family time and functions for the next 2 yrs. Because in my opinion that sacrifice is going to be necessary to make it through this program. Even though it's a "part-tim...

Does Saturday afternoon work? I know Jennaz said she had recital in the morning. Anyone have anything else on Saturday in afternoon? Or perhaps we could even meet Saturday night? Just throwing out ideas. Never easy trying to get people together that...

Sorry guys...if we meet on Sunday it will have to be around 11ish...can't be in the afternoon for me. I have a 9yr old son as well. cscanlon...the location I suggested is pretty much central Phoenix, but I'm open to other ideas as well. Not particula...

Well typically I am "always" home on Sundays...family day don't ya know...lol. But I suppose in light of these special circumstances I can make an acception...lol. Let's wait to hear from matix05 and ruco19 and see what their availability is and if S...

Unless something has changed, it is Tue and Thur Evenings 5:30 to 9:30 and Sat all day??? I am sooo excited as well :) As far as us meeting gang...I'm game for when ever really for us to all meet for the 1st time and then perhaps we can split up more...

If you want to get together for coffee, lunch whatever I am game. Where did you have in mind? ruco19 and cscanlon...you are obviously more than welcome to join us if we meet up in the NW valley of course. But wow, quite a hike for you two...you guys ...

congrats to matix05, ruco19, jennaz and cscanlon. i started new thread so we could discuss some things further: those accepted for banner fellows @ gateway july 2010

I was wondering and hoping that some current or past students of nursing program could give some insight/advice on what type of software we should have on our laptops for blocks 1-4. Any information would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks. :)

Well the wait is finally over. Just got email from Banner stating I have been accepted to the July programat Gateway...WOOHOO! Totally pumped...made my day. Check your emails ASAP gang.

Thank you for the response...very much appreciated. I have gotten from others that its case by case instructor by instructor decision regarding PDA's. But I am going to definitely invest in one regardless (rather have it than not). I'm still torn reg...

Thank you so much for the info. Question...I too have a Blackberry but have been told by many to get ipod touch since it has no phone features as the instructors were strict about phones, texting etc. So I'm torn...take chance and use Blackberry or i...

No Skyscape is not free...I wish!

Thank you for your response...appreciate you taking the time. From what I have heard and now seen here, the iPod Touch is the way to go so I will definitely be investing in one for sure. It's almost a 50/50 split on the software apps though...between...

rzyzzy, Again...BIG thank you! I hear what your saying loud and clear. My intention with my PDA will be all nursing apps...I have no need nor time for games and music, etc. I have an ipod for my tunes and my game playing days were over years ago...l...

rzyzzy, Thank you soooo much for the info I really appreciate that. Ok so I'm all set on the laptop. Now the PDA stuff is driving me nuts. I certainly plan on getting one, question is which one? Most I have spoken to about this have said either a "Pa...
