  1. More than 55 slots droped from MCC's NS's

    what?! accelerated programs deleted? Ugh! I was just now looking over the advanced placement app for LPN - RN thinking that those accelerated options looked nice. The accelerated online one at Rio is...
  2. Um, HEEELLLOOO!!! Did you guys get in???

    So sorry to hear about those of you who didn't get in. That has got to be *so* frustrating. Have any of you thought about signing up at one of the skill ctrs? That is where I am right now, almost...
  3. Um, HEEELLLOOO!!! Did you guys get in???

    Mary that's great! So glad to hear you are in. I wonder where all the others are. Hopefully celebrating.
  4. Do your Dr.s come for FD delivery?

    I had a fetal demise @ 17wks a few years ago. I delivered at a big teaching hospital in downtown Phoenix. My ob (wonderful doctor, btw) came and delivered my baby. I also needed a d&c after...
  5. Hello AZZzzzz....

    Wow, thats insane! So what is it, just tons of obsure questions on tests? We've had some where I swear two of the anwers mean the SAME thing, so it's a toss up between which one to pick. And I swear...
  6. Phlebotomy advice???

    We did our first phlebotomy lab today and I was not too successful. So I'm pretty discouraged. I was wondering if anyone had any tips or stories to share. I tried on my partner first in the antecube,...
  7. Hello AZZzzzz....

    I study so well on my own, that I wish we got to do more stuff on our own. Instead I am sitting in class almost 24 hrs a week falling asleep! :rotfl: Weren't you one of the people that said if you...
  8. Hello AZZzzzz....

    Lu Ann, I've heard some stuff about GCC. That they really try and get you in block 4. I've also heard the program is unorganized, is this true? Anyway, I'm at SWSC and they treat us like babies, hold...
  9. Anyone taken BIO201 through Rio Salado?

    I took it in the spring semester. I agree with the poster that said know the lesson objectives. I also did all the notes for each chapter. I remember stressing so much about all the insertions and...
  10. Brittney Spears???

    I heard about that, and the story about her renting the whole floor. I wonder how that is possible?! Will other moms in L&D get turned away or have to labor in triage or something? I think it's...
  11. Define: Nurses Eating Their Young

    I experienced this to an extent the other night at work. I work in this LTC place where I am pool and they are so short staffed. I imagine treating pool employees like crap might have something to do...
  12. AZ IV Certification?

    I would like to know where you found the course, because I will be having to take it in March when I'm done at the skill ctr. At the skill ctr you get labs in phlebotomy and IV, and your able to...
  13. CC's still have openings for Fall?

    At my school we went from 30 to 20! And we are still in block ONE! So many empty seats, it's a shame.
  14. LPN to RN programs in Phoenix

    I was under the impression that it wasn't hard to do an LPN to RN program through one of the MCC programs. But some girl at work last night (who granted is really young, hasn't done any prereqs, and...
  15. LPN to RN programs in Phoenix

    No. I have been working pool at this LTC place, but at good sam, they won't hire me pool. I'd need to be full time for a year before I'd be eligible for registry. They told me to come back when I...
  16. I waited about 9 months. I'm at Estrella (southwest skill ctr) and it's a waiting list, not a lottery. The wait is over a year now, though.
  17. What about a time for live chat?

    Which program are you in? In in block 1 at the skill ctr at Estrella.
  18. Where to live??

    Or what about Avondale? It's all pretty new, and a quick commute downtown.
  19. Advice for NA Cert exam???

    See, I told you it was a piece of cake! I know you were nervous, so I bet you feel so relieved.
  20. Upswing in community college applications...

    I am learning so much in Patho right now, it's a good class. I can't imagine why they would take something away from the nursing education. I also think it is great to get the CNA before hand, and...
  21. Upswing in community college applications...

    I heard it used to be like that through the MCC system. I personally like it the way it is, because block 1 is busy enough, why have to cram in all that CNA stuff too before going to
  22. LPN to RN programs in Phoenix

    Oh yea, I forgot to tell you about that! It's tomorrow, I called the other day and she said to be in the cafeteria at 11.
  23. 2 yr waiting list. What to do until then? Ideas?

    Why not take a course to become a nurse aid or PCT? What better way to prepare yourself for clinicals? Many hospitals will hire a CNA and train them to PCT and you can do caths, draw blood and do some...
  24. Anyone taking Rio's Micro right now?

    Oh, also, what are the labs like? I can remember thinking the Bio201 labs were sort of time consuming. Are they similar?
  25. Anyone taking Rio's Micro right now?

    How much time do you spend on it? I was contemplating taking it while at the same time as doing block 1 at the skill ctr.
