Concept maps are for the weak-minded. They are supposed to help you "see the big picture" but for 99% of nursing students are a waste of time. I'm glad to be done with them for good!

I was a general contractor for many years. Lost it all with the big crash. I graduate in May 2014. Looking forward to a steady career.

I got a pair of nikes. They do just fine.

I can understand where you are coming from and you logic makes sense. I would just add that nursing school is very hard. You have to work you butt off. In comparison the prerequisites were easy. Nursing school builds upon the foundation of the pr...

GCU is a private school, but it is accredited and has a good program. Private schools to avoid are the non-accredited like Pima or Chamberlin. $70,000 in debt when you are done and you cannot go on to get a MSN or DPN. They feed off of people who ...

Each semester there were a few who did not pass and had to retake. I would advise against working. The program is intense and you will need time for study. A lot of those who failed also worked. The first semester is busy, the 2nd is CRAZY! So f...

6-10-11 8:02:48 AM Placed in the MCC traditional program. First choice. Because of the waiting list I applied at ASU and got accepted. I graduate in May. I stayed on the list because I wanted to see how long it would actually take. Too long! T...

I am currently in my 3rd semester of the program. It is just like 2ndTime said. You are given a schedule at the beginning of each semester. I have never had any clinicals or classes on the weekend. Yes, your weekends are free, but you will fill t...

I did well. I ranked in the 99th percentile.

I have 6-10-11 8:02:48 AM Not yet placed.

I think someone forgot to tell you that you have to put your life on hold while in nursing school. LOL!

I purchased the practice tests from ATI.

I'm on the waiting list at MCC, but I applied to ASU and got in. I am just finishing my 2nd block. I took most of my prerequisites at MCC, but took the NUR courses at CGCC. I do not like online courses and MCC (when I was there) only offers NUR330...

I am in the program now and there are several ladies here who had comparable GPA's. Go for it!

Take the class where you will learn the most. If that is online, then do it. For me it was an actual class. I took it at CGCC (main campus) and loved it. It was a hard class but well worth it now that I am in a program.

I did my prerequisites at MCC as well but I did not want to take NUR330 online. Instead I took it at CGCC (main campus). Use Ratemyprofessors.com to find a good teacher. The one at the main campus had better reviews and I loved the class. I am in...

Every college will have good and bad teachers. Go to ratemyprofessers.com and check them out before you sign up for the class. I have had good luck with that. You can usually tell from the feedback who the bad teachers are and who is just whining ...

My first block I was in North Glendale and I live in East Mesa. After that, they try to get sites closer to where you live but I have never had input as to where I go.

My stamp is 06/10/2011 08:02:48AM. I could not believe the wait list so I applied at GCU and ASU. I got into both. I am now in my second block at ASU and will graduate in May of 2014. I have kept myself on the list just to see how long it will ta...

I took CHM 130 at Rio in 2010. If you have an A now, you are on the right track. You will need to know your formulas and conversions for the test. The questions on the midterm are similar to what you have with the lessons. When I took the class, ...

We had a cadaver at MCC - Red Mountain but it was just used as a visual tool. The only person to touch it was the teacher. We had the option of leaving if we wanted when the cadaver came out. I was able to hold his brain but I was one of the few s...

I just finished Block 1 at ASU. I took HCR 240 at CGCC because I did not want an online class. I have friends that took it at MCC online and they said it was a joke. They regret it now because they didn't learn much. It was a hard class at CGCC b...

I would not say that downtown is "easy", but I would say it is not as chaotic as Mayo sounds. No weekends or evenings and the classes have set schedules that don't change throughout the semester. The clinical rotations for me were a bit of a drive,...

I just finished block 1 at ASU. Everyone here has given good advice. It is time consuming above all. Work will be difficult, but with time effective time management and sacrifice, you can do it!

I took it at Chandler/Gilbert Pecos campus because I did not want an online class. I highly recommend the teacher there. She is also on RateMyProfessor.
