  1. How quickly did AZBN post your license after NCLEX?

    AZMama86 replied to kadeedid's topic in Arizona Nursing

    As quick as 15-16 hours. My friend took hers on a Monday at 1pm and results were posted when she looked at 7am the next day. I took mine yesterday later morning and the results were posted when I...

  2. How long will the wait be for MCC with only ONE choice?

    AZMama86 replied to studentinAZ's topic in Arizona Nursing

    MCC has no wait at all currently. I'm in Block 4 at MCC and that's what the admin has told us. :) Good

  3. Anybody NOT accepted to NAU/ASU/CEP through MCCD?

    AZMama86 replied to KendallAZ's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I just started Block 4 of the MCC/NAU program and I graduate in December. It's a great program and I highly recommend it to everyone I talk to that's interested in it. Many of our teachers, nurses,...

  4. January 2017 cep applicants

    AZMama86 replied to AZnurse2b18's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If you apply in January 2017, you would start the university courses Summer 2017 and Block 1 Fall 2017. If you applied May 2017, you would start the university courses Fall 2017 and Block 1 Spring...

  5. 2016 CEP Information Sessions

    AZMama86 replied to aavargas13's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Sorry I just now saw this! My HESI was 96% Math and 91% English. I honestly don't remember my GPA but believe it was around 3.5. But I would not rely on that because I was accepted over 2 years ago...

  6. Failed Block 2

    AZMama86 replied to StephSparks's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm so sorry - I just now saw this! I'm so glad you were accepted! That's wonderful news! If you are AM, the instructor is amazing! I love her and could not have passed Block 2 without her! They don't...

  7. 2016 CEP Information Sessions

    AZMama86 replied to aavargas13's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I applied for the CEP program on 5/20/14 I believe with an MCC start of Spring 2015. I received my acceptance letter via email on 5/29/14. I began NAU classes August 2014 and they ended October 2014....

  8. Failed Block 2

    AZMama86 replied to StephSparks's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hey there. I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry and that you're not alone. I'm going into Block 4 this fall at MCC in the NAU/MCC CEP (old curriculum). We started with 62 students and have maintained...

  9. How hard is the CEP?

    AZMama86 replied to jen91's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm finishing up Block 3 of the MCC/NAU fast track CEP. Honestly, the NAU hasn't been the bulk of the work. Yes, it's extra work, but it's easy (for me anyways). The vast majority of it is weekly...

  10. Computer for Nursing School?

    AZMama86 replied to hedyis's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm in block 3. Sometimes in block 1, people looked at the power points on their laptops in class but not many in block 2 did that. So far in block 3, I haven't seen anyone do it. The teachers lecture...

  11. 2016 CEP Information Sessions

    AZMama86 replied to aavargas13's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The waitlist at MCC is 0 currently, so I would imagine Gateway is the same or no more than one semester for the regular RN

  12. 2016 CEP Information Sessions

    AZMama86 replied to aavargas13's topic in Arizona Nursing

    They are no longer doing information sessions or application sessions for the CEP programs. They are not doing information sessions because the info is all online on the Maricopa Nursing website. For...

  13. How far would you drive?

    AZMama86 replied to alliesweetie14's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm in southeast Gilbert, pretty close to the CGCC nursing campus but I chose to go to MCC because of the reputation, experiences of my friends, and NCLEX pass rates. I've lucked out with clinicals...

  14. January CEP applicants?

    AZMama86 replied to rac1's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You have an amazing attitude! Seriously, don't lose that. It will greatly benefit you in nursing school!!

  15. What is passing for your nursing program?

    AZMama86 replied to WanderingWilder's topic in General Students

    I'm in an ADN/BSN concurrent program. The ADN program at the community college I attend requires a 76% on proctored tests ONLY. None of the other assignments are even factored in until you reach the...

  16. January CEP applicants?

    AZMama86 replied to rac1's topic in Arizona Nursing

    FYI, the NAU patch is NOT a requirement. Optional if you choose.

  17. January CEP applicants?

    AZMama86 replied to rac1's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wow, they are really torturing you guys with the wait!! I'm block 3 at MCC/NAU CEP and it only took 10 days for us to get notified that we got in! I hope they let you know soon. Hang in there! You...

  18. Getting CNA while in nursing school at MCC?

    AZMama86 replied to Sweetfix's topic in Arizona Nursing

    With the new curriculum and changes they made that started with every block that began August 2015 and later, every block is now 9 credits each, which is considered 3/4 time, not full-time. Tuition is...

  19. Getting CNA while in nursing school at MCC?

    AZMama86 replied to Sweetfix's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi there! I'm in block 3 at MCC. Our instructors told us from Block 1 that we could take the CNA test once we successfully passed Block 1. I did not take the test and don't know anyone in my block...

  20. Did a low test grade discourage you?

    AZMama86 replied to dominiquejade's topic in General Students

    If you're in med-surg, this is totally normal. I rocked Block 1 and Block 2 (med-surg) hit me like a semi truck. It's completely different than fundamentals in Block 1 and EVERYONE struggled with it....

  21. Mesa Community College Schedule

    AZMama86 replied to Sweetfix's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It changes sometimes. I am in Block 3 at MCC. When I was in Block 1 it was Mon-Thurs. Mon & Tues was lecture from 0900-1130, Weds & Thurs 0700-1500 were lab the first 8 weeks and...

  22. MCCCD Nursing - Campus Choices

    AZMama86 replied to KittenEars's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I went with Mesa, despite living across the street from Chandler Gilbert (which I've heard a lot of bad things about) because Mesa consistently has one of the highest NCLEX pass rates. I am in Block 3...

  23. MCC Fall 2015 placement

    AZMama86 replied to Smella2020's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Math class = very helpful. Nursing review class = not helpful AT ALL. It was a huge disappointment. So much that the interest in doing one for Block 2 was so low that they didn't even do one for Block...

  24. maricopa block 1 books

    AZMama86 replied to lopezvivi's topic in Arizona Nursing

    We got a separate student ID that says student nurse on it at MCC. They ARE different than the generic

  25. maricopa block 1 books

    AZMama86 replied to lopezvivi's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wow, that's a lot of books. I'm at MCC and start Block 3 next month. For Block 1 and 2 the only required books we had were the Fundamentals 1 & 2 and Ignatavicius (Iggy”) Med-Surg book. We...
