  1. What do you recommend?

    Should I just take the A&P 1 at Rio, or is it easier to take it in person, and I could do this at Gateway since they have a Sat class/lab that's still open. I know someone on here said they were...
  2. What do you recommend?

    Okay, yea I've decided to stick with the AP1 and FON. Hmmm...anyone have any books to sell me? :) I'll pay more than the buy-back, less than the used price. (that's how it works, right?)
  3. What do you recommend?

    So Micro is not as challenging as AP1 at Rio? I called there today and tried to sign up for both and the woman talked me out of doing Micro and AP1 at the same time! She wasn't an advisor, just the...
  4. What do you recommend?

    Thanks for that post. So what's the opinion on taking 201 and Micro at the same time at Rio? Doable? I am pretty disciplined when it comes to online work, and even though I have two kids, get plenty...
  5. Oh no!!! Please HELP!!

    Good luck with everything Janice! I am reading all your posts and can feel your anxiety and excitement. I can't wait to be that close myself! Make sure when you enter the program to tell us all about...
  6. fingerprints and CPR to CNA

    Janice, What was the CNA class like? Was it easy or hard? Was there a lot of homework? I'm taking a rio class at the same time as my HCCs, but I'm trying to plan ahead on if I can take one at the same...
  7. Nursing School Acceptance Letters

    I haven't been through it, but I think there's a website where you can check your status once you apply. http://healthcare.maricopa.edu/hcies5.htm Good luck!!!!
  8. fingerprints and CPR to CNA

    David, I just sent my fingerprint clearance card away a few weeks ago. It was easy. Again, I did everything through estrella. Southwest skill center gave me the paperwork, and estrella mountain...
  9. fingerprints and CPR to CNA

    Estrella mountain set me up with this company that does CPR certification. The class was held in N. Phoenix at a daycare facility on a sat morning. As for the CNA, I'm taking mine through Estrella...
  10. No advice, sorry. But do post next week and let us know what she says! I'd love to hear more about your experience. What exactly is an externship? Anyone catch the DiscH special on the ER at good...
  11. Rio A&P class

    Has anyone taken the A&PI class online? What was it like? I am taking some Rio classes that I'm hoping to finish early so that I can get a start and finished on the A&P before my LPN course...
  12. Retaking classes

    Does anyone know how beneficial it is to retake classes? I am doing it for a few classes. Basically what happened is 2 years ago I had a stillbirth, during finals week in Dec. I was allowed an...
  13. Rio A&P class

    I am in bio 156 right now also (at Rio) and doing it accelerated. I'm actually not in the accelerated class, but the teacher let me put myself on a schedule where I turn in 2 lessons a week instead of...
  14. Retaking classes

    Hmmm...? Has anyone called to find out about the rn-bsn program and what the standards are? The other night someone quickly told me that the ASU nursing program wasn't that great. Is this true? I...
  15. Rio A&P class

    Thanks for the feedback guys. What I'm thinking I want to do is start taking it in Jan. I am actually accelerating my bio 156 but that class seems to be really easy. I did one weeks worth of...
  16. How marketable is the ADN?

    I'm starting the fast track program at southwest skill center in Feb. Anyone been there or heard anything good/bad about the program? They said it's the same nursing pathway that all the MCC's follow...
  17. How marketable is the ADN?

    Mendocino, Those 4 courses they do before the start of the blocks last 5w, and your right, not transferrable towards the CC program. Basically, the reason I decided to go this route is because at the...
  18. How marketable is the ADN?

    I know you didn't ask me, but I'll weigh in about the Chm class. I think if you are decent at math, and have a fairly easy time with memorizing, then you should be fine with an online class. i am...
  19. Roll call for new AZ CAN/LPN/RN students

    I am 28 years old and would like to finish before I try and start a family. I don't know what area I want to go into, but I am very investigative and wonder if Nurse Researcher or Educator wouldn't be...
  20. Roll call for new AZ CAN/LPN/RN students

    I agree with the BSN right after ADN, that's my course as well. There are online options for this, one in particular in Jacksonville (I think) that completes it in about 2 months (I'd assume...
  21. Roll call for new AZ CAN/LPN/RN students

    I enrolled at Yavapai College a year ago to work on my prereqs, and I'm now in my first semester in the nursing program. I have been and currently am working on my science pre/corequisites through Rio...
  22. Tuition Paid For?

    I think JCL has something just like that Banner one which was posted. They do it with PVCC. I saw it on their website. Good luck! Does anyone know what the difference is when signing a contract like...
  23. Roll call for new AZ CAN/LPN/RN students

    Hey David! Looks like we are near eachother. I drive by the Banner Estrella sight on my way to school twice a week. :) Congrats on finishing up your prereqs. I am Rebecca, 23 years old, sahm to two...
  24. How marketable is the ADN?

    Great! I'm actually really excited to find on this forum a bunch of you guys who are going through the same thing as me, in the same place. What a great source of
  25. How marketable is the ADN?

    I wish I knew which schools would give the best shot. But it can change each semester. I think the max you can pick is 5 or 6 and I will be choosing 5 or 6 choices. The more flexible you are the...
