    abvincent1 replied to lotsofsunshine's topic in New York Nursing

    Lots of Sunshine, let me give you some advice from someone probably a little older than yourself, if you want to be a nurse, then nothing will stop you; if you aren't certain whether you want to be a...

  2. Question about Gateway CC's FTPN program and taking other classes

    abvincent1 replied to hotnurseintraining's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Miteacher, you said you had to take Bio 202. Take the class at South Mountain with ----. She is by FAR one of the best teachers I have had---just loved her. Very stress-less, helpful, bright and works...

  3. Question about Nutrition class for NAU program

    abvincent1 replied to ChrissyLove123's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Nomad, I took nutrition through Phoenix college online last semester. It REALLY enjoyed it and actually learned quite a bit. I did not take the lab, but the instructor made us do the diet overview...

    abvincent1 replied to RunMT's topic in Arizona Nursing

  5. May 2011 NAU accelerated nursing program hopefuls!

    abvincent1 replied to RunMT's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Well it is over. My insights? Study chemistry, how? I have no idea. There were at least 15 questions where I had no idea. I scored in the high 90s for Math, English and Reading Comp (96, 98,...

  6. Panicked!!! HIV/AIDS, HepB, HepC risk?

    abvincent1 replied to rntobeme's topic in General Nursing

    (By the way, I was a social work intern) So I hear ALL the stories from what we called "worry warts" And this one would certainly meet that qualification...so just

  7. Panicked!!! HIV/AIDS, HepB, HepC risk?

    abvincent1 replied to rntobeme's topic in General Nursing

    With all due respect, the pin doesn't have HIV/AIDS, Hep B, Hep C. You aren't making much sense. I worked in the infectious disease clinic of Cook County Hospital as an intern. Every client had...

  8. May 2011 NAU accelerated nursing program hopefuls!

    abvincent1 replied to RunMT's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I live in Phoenix now, but I am originally from small town Iowa. I lived in Chicago 7 years after I graduated from college. I have a set path, I KNOW I want to be a nurse anesthetist. I have...

  9. May 2011 NAU accelerated nursing program hopefuls!

    abvincent1 replied to RunMT's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks Run. I bought the study guide ($40!) and am reviewing. I can't believe how much of the biology, chemistry I don't know. Kinda frightening! I wish it was over...of all the schools I...

  10. New entry-level Masters program at U of A!!

    abvincent1 replied to Cid13's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It is not an MSN. I posted several months back that this program appears kind of like a scam to me, but that is up to the applicant to decipher. It personally was not any thing I was interested in,...

  11. BIO 202 and BIO 205 same semester? Good/bad idea?

    abvincent1 replied to smilinjen's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Klone, you are right about accepting Rio online courses. I was inferring if you are looking to attend class outside Maricopa Community Colleges and/or the local colleges such as Univ of Phoenix, they...

  12. BIO 202 and BIO 205 same semester? Good/bad idea?

    abvincent1 replied to smilinjen's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I took micro, 202, nutrition, developmental and chemistry 152 last semester and I got A's in all of them (I had literally no life), but it was not impossible. You can take 202 and 205 in the same term...

  13. May 2011 NAU accelerated nursing program hopefuls!

    abvincent1 replied to RunMT's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I will let you know. I apologize I didn't read your entire message to see you were going traditional route. I just contacted NAU about accelerated program and they said they get 100 applicants for 30...

  14. May 2011 NAU accelerated nursing program hopefuls!

    abvincent1 replied to RunMT's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You take the HESI Nomad? I am planning to take it later this week and I am a bit nervous. I have studied a little bit, but not a lot. I reviewed some questions and did ok, but did miss some as well...

  15. May 2011 NAU accelerated nursing program hopefuls!

    abvincent1 replied to RunMT's topic in Arizona Nursing

    May I ask where you got the pre-test? My understanding is the test is universal, it does not change, which is why they won't release any questions. From those of whom have taken the test and I have...

  16. May 2011 NAU accelerated nursing program hopefuls!

    abvincent1 replied to RunMT's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hey RunMt, I will be applying to NAU. I finished applying to the undergrad school recently and began the nursing application process as well. I have not taken the HESI, plan to do that the early...

  17. New entry-level Masters program at U of A!!

    abvincent1 replied to Cid13's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Absolutely CID. Listen, if you want to be a nurse, then you do what it takes. However, the most important steps in this process are at the beginning. I have researched this program, because I...

  18. New entry-level Masters program at U of A!!

    abvincent1 replied to Cid13's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I will also add, that it is not a MSN. They are giving you a MS. Do your research in regard to what that qualifies you to practice. An MSN will qualify a student for nurse practitioner, Nurse...

  19. New entry-level Masters program at U of A!!

    abvincent1 replied to Cid13's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I can't speak of specific programs, but when I went to graduate school as an in state resident I paid about $3K a semester. It was roughly 15K with all expenses over two years. This program is 35K...

  20. New entry-level Masters program at U of A!!

    abvincent1 replied to Cid13's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes, they changed it to the masters degree for one specific reason: money. The education they provided as a bachelor's degree (accelerated) is no different from that which you would receive in this...

  21. Which Maricopa CC has shortest wait list?

    abvincent1 replied to lilmac81's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There are no waitlists for those with a bachelor degree. If you want to be a nurse, go through an accelerated program in 1-1.5 years. University of Arizona and Northern Arizona both offer this...

  22. Which Maricopa CC has shortest wait list?

    abvincent1 replied to lilmac81's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Just some suggestions. Do you have a bachelor's degree? Have you completed the required courses for the associates degree? Or even close? If so, why would you wait two years to go in to an...

    abvincent1 replied to TG14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    BTW, I am a LCSW, MSW. I am contemplating a return to graduate school for nursing. I may have a 2.92 GPA from nearly two decades ago, but I assure you my experience alone would trump those perfect...

  24. Pre-nursing student in need of advising on a few things plz

    abvincent1 replied to TG14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To the persons who consistently belittle a person's chances because of his/her "GPA" exclusively, your input is of little use. I graduated from my undergrad program with a 2.92 GPA---because I worked...
