Hello fellow Nursing students, I took the HESI entrance today at SCC. Whew! It seemed like I was sitting at that computer forever! I then walked directly across the way to submit my application. SUCCESS! I was date and time stamped and everything... ...

Hello Nurses! I am beginning a CNA program soon as I continue to wait on the VERY long RN school waiting list... A stethoscope is required the first day of class for CNA training. However, I was pretty shocked with the prices (online) for stethoscope...

Wow...I never thought of that...thanks for the info. I start my CNA 5-week course in April...then do I apply to FTPN after? Or can I apply now? thanks so much!

Sounds like I better start saving money if it takes a while to find a job... I volunteer at a hospital...so I am hoping that will help me get in based on the relationships I have built... cross fingers...

how long after completing your CNA course did it take to find a job? I am starting the CNA course in April and was wondering how long I should expect to be out of a job for... thanks for your help!

thank you both for the help! I am usually a sceptic of e-bay (past experiences) but will definitely start looking there!

Bliss - Unfortunately there are no programs here that are quick or that don't require pre-requisites. Do you have your Bachelors degree in something else? Have you taken your A&P part 1 & 2 yet? Along with Microbiology? If you have...that he...

I am starting Bio 202 via Phoenix College this weekend (online course). Has anyone taken this? If so, how was it? I took Bio 201 last year...but couldn't actually memorize the materials as it was so overwhelming and too quick. I ended up with a B in ...

uggggh...I survived the online Bio 202...and it was AWFUL! I will never take a course through Phoenix college again. The entire class was failing at one point because the instructor completely changed the syllabus, test format, grades, etc... If anyo...

Hi all - So since I am still waiting to get into the RN program, I have decided to enter the 5-week CNA certificate program at SCC. At least that will get my foot in the door with a hospital...?! I think the waiting game has caught up with me...an...

Thank you 'fromthesea'. I actually volunteer at SHC hospital now and I am hoping to possibly get a USED steth from a Doctor or nurse. I didn't realize they were so expensive!?! But hopefully a used one for $40-$50 will come my way... oy...this is st...

Hi abvincent - I do have my Bachelor's in Communication from ASU (2004). Right now I am taking an online class (bio 202 human anataomy/physiology) because it is a pre-req. Then I will be all finished and just ...waiting....waiting.... I was going th...

Hi Inspired! Who quoted you that 5 semester wait? I'd love to see where I'm at...probably in the same boat. :-( What were your top school choices?

I have that as my date stamp also. Mine was at 8:02:20 a.m. I hate the idea of waiting 2 years myself!

I completely agree with you! I have a hard time paying so much money at Chamberlain or even Grand Canyon...when the community college program is under $7,000. I figure, 2 years will pass by me anyway, I might as well wait and hope that I get in soone...

It did...I just didn't remember what the seconds were... Congrats! Now we both wait :-)

yes AKA you were correct. I didn't get my date stamp until 08/13/10 @ 8:01 a.m. The person who originally told me that I was stamped and ready was still training...thus she didn't know. Oh well...now for the waiting game. :)

Hi all - I just took the HESI exam this morning...it was a long test...but fairly 'basic' knowledge. I am glad that I read through the study guide and completed the sample tests in there. That helps a ton! I recommend getting it...despite what some ...

Thanks Matix. Yes, I got that e-mail...I would rather drive 50 miles if Estrella had a 'shorter' list...then wait longer for the "typical" top 4 choices. So I added it to my list in case... I hate the waiting game

Hello everyone! I am new to this site, and so happy I have found it! I am an AZ resident attempting to apply to the local community college Nursing Program. (fast-track program as I already have a 4-year degree) The Community Colleges recently change...
