    GlendaleStudent replied to IrishItalianRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Is the $3500 for Subsidized and Unsubsidized loans? There are also "Alternative" student loans, which I don't really know much about, but do a search on this website for "Alternative Student Loans"...

    GlendaleStudent replied to ARIZONA_RN_STUDENT's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I believe the F/T program is a little more organized that the P/T program. I'm sure you do well there. Good luck to you.

  5. Anyone here go to Glendale community college?

    GlendaleStudent replied to ARIZONA_RN_STUDENT's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Well, to be honest, the first semester was fine, but our Block II instructor left and this last semester was very disorganized to say the least. Are you thinking of enrolling in the P/T or F/T...

    GlendaleStudent replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    For Process, I read the chapters and I taped the lecture. Later at work, I would listen to the lecture on tape, while I was working. (I got low 90's on my tests doing this). Many questions on the...

    GlendaleStudent replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi!! Did the instructor give you Power point lecture notes? I had different instructors, but this is what I did. For Process, I read the book. Some people did outlines and did well with that, but...

  12. Glendale CC part time program

    GlendaleStudent replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I live in Mesa. On a good day (no traffic), it will take about 45 mins to get there, but if the traffic is really heavy, it can take an 1 1/2 hours. I picked GCC because I work full-time and I would...

  13. Glendale CC part time program

    GlendaleStudent replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi Keli, I am in the p/t GCC program and I live in the East Valley. There are times during the semester that you might need to come to school during the week other than Fri/Sat. I'm not sure how...

  14. GCC students??

    GlendaleStudent replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I don't work in a hospital right now. I do know that the instructors write letters of recommendations for students that want to do an externship after the 2nd block. I think those that work in a...

  16. How long did it take you to get into nursing school?

    GlendaleStudent replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I applied last summer and I got into the Spring program. I think it depends on your lottery number and the availability at the schools that you've chosen. I think you have a better chance of getting...

  17. GCC students??

    GlendaleStudent replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    No, there is not a review for the CNA skills and you are expected to know. At school there is a lab that you can practice taking blood pressure, and other vitals. I wouldn't worry about it too much....

  18. GCC students??

    GlendaleStudent replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The first few tests are scary because you don't know what to expect. The testing is a little different and I'm told that the questions come from NCLEX...critical thinking questions. So, getting a...

  19. GCC students??

    GlendaleStudent replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You can do this!! You will be anxious about all of your first tests (everyone in my class was). I think the biggest mistake that most students make is that they don't study enough. If you study,...

  20. GCC students??

    GlendaleStudent replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I guess that depends on when you are planning to take it. If it is during clinicals, I would say definitely NO...you will be too busy starting your care plan. If it is during the lecture, I think it...

  21. GCC students??

    GlendaleStudent replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    With my instructor, the careplan is started the night before clinicals (Thursday night). The majority of it should be done by Friday morning, but our instructor reviews it and makes corrections and...

    Hi...I studied a minimum of 20 hours per week (I also hold down a F/T job) and about 30 hours per week for tests, which get to be 2 tests per week the month prior to Finals. I do not have much time...

  23. GCC students??

    GlendaleStudent replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You will need and use the books you buy in Block I throughout the entire Nursing Program. The workbooks are on the booklist that GCC sends you, but the only one that I really used was the Assessment...

  24. GCC students??

    GlendaleStudent replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I would say if you bought an older edition, you would probably be fine. As far as the workbooks go, the only one that I really use is the one for assessment , by Jarvis (this for me was the hardest...

    GlendaleStudent replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Lillian will mail you a book list or maybe you can call and ask her. Here is one tip that I wish I knew before buying books. The Lewis book "Medical, Surgical Nursing" is a really thick book. It...
