  1. Concept Maps

    Hobberdog replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

    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

    Hobberdog replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

  5. MCC or ASU?

    Hobberdog replied to JRdaMacman's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  6. asu nursing program

    Hobberdog replied to Vmyracle's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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....

    Hobberdog replied to Vmyracle's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hobberdog replied to fitzfam2009's topic in Arizona Nursing

  15. Any tips on where to take Pathophysiology?

    Hobberdog replied to dsb_fam's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  16. NUR 330

    Hobberdog replied to fitzfam2009's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  17. Im taking AP 1 this Fall semester. Any advice on which cc I should take it at?

    Hobberdog replied to Ceeza's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  18. Question about Clinical sites with Maricopa Nursing

    Hobberdog replied to KendallAZ's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hobberdog replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  20. CHM 130 Midterm at RSCC

    Hobberdog replied to pre-ASUstudent's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  21. Can someone tell me more about the Bio 201 lab?

    Hobberdog replied to ribosome23's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  22. HCR 240

    Hobberdog replied to Crystal74's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  23. ASU: what is the "typical" schedule (Mayo vs Downtown)?

    Hobberdog replied to MacMaster's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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....

    Hobberdog replied to brinpitts's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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
