    Someone posted the schedules for GCC in

  2. BIO 141..can I get an A with no solid foundation

    ShadowPlanet replied to mbtsab's topic in General Students

    If your school offers tutoring, use it. Also, it might help if you post the title of the class.. BIO141 means nothing.. at my school, there's no such thing. Is it general biology? Anatomy?...

  3. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    ShadowPlanet replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The current application packet (found at nursing.maricopa.edu) estimates $8,541 for everything including tuition, though YMMV. PV has donated scrubs for $5/set instead of like $20 each piece. They're...

  4. Maricopa Nursing Program Schedules PVCC & GCC???

    ShadowPlanet replied to Starreacher26's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I start traditional block 1 (NUR151) at PVCC next week. Looks like my schedule will be 0800 - 1400 on Tuesdays. On Wednesdays & Thursdays it's 0800 - 1630 until clinicals start in March and then...

  5. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    ShadowPlanet replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I waited almost exactly 2 years. You should look into one of the CEP options, there's no wait list for

  6. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    ShadowPlanet replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks!! My orientation is January 15th but I found out they don't care what color stethoscope we have at PVCC. They have used scrubs for sale but I need to check back in when winter break is over to...

  7. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    ShadowPlanet replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Dumb question, but I can't find a list of supplies on the Maricopa nursing site (or anywhere). Do we need our own stethoscope? Can it be any color? Amazon is having a pretty awesome deal on Littman's...

  8. moving to Phoenix az

    ShadowPlanet replied to ms.lovely's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If you don't want to be on a waiting list, private schools are your only option.. unless you qualify for one of the concurrent enrollment programs out there.. but I'm not sure those won't have wait...

  9. Rio Salado HCR 240 Pathophysiology

    ShadowPlanet replied to Maycation's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I haven't taken that class, but I have taken others at rio. I think some quizzes and exams are timed and you typically only get one attempt. For the math and science courses I've taken through rio,...

  10. moving to Phoenix az

    ShadowPlanet replied to ms.lovely's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Your best bet is through the community college system, unless you like wasting a ton of money on private school tuition. The downside is that there is a a 2+ year waiting list for the community...

  11. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    ShadowPlanet replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Has anyone received information on starting Spring 2015? Specifically, at SCC? I submitted my confirmation of intent on the 11th (due the 14th) and have not received anything. I can't log into the...

  12. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    ShadowPlanet replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I just got my placement notification!!! For Spring 2015 at SCC. I can't seem to find my time stamp on my application status page but I applied in December 2012. I'm so excited and nervous and just...

  13. I'm so excited! :)

    ShadowPlanet posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I finished A&P1 this semester, completing my pre-requisites! Today, my application to nursing school got submitted! There's a long wait list (roughly 2 years, that can be reduced if I volunteer at...

  14. I'm so excited! :)

    ShadowPlanet replied to ShadowPlanet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, sorry for the confusion. School A (my current school) has a 2 year waitlist, that can be shortened if you volunteer at Hospital A. School B has a 4 year wait list, that can be shortened by...

  15. Taking A&P I and Nutrition

    ShadowPlanet replied to happyland's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Get the anatomy book for your class and start

  16. Trade Schools- Are they a waste of money? Is anyone happy with a trade school?

    ShadowPlanet replied to B.Hall527's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I went to a trade school to become a pharmacy technician. I did not have the greatest experience, the classes were a crock, in my opinion. I still have ~$4000 in student loans that I'm paying off. It...

  17. CNA course AND Pre-Req Classes?

    ShadowPlanet replied to nursealii's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If your schedule will allow it, and you can handle it, why not? I'm planning on taking the CNA course (roughly 6 weeks) in the Spring as well. It runs from roughly 6:00a to 4:00p (different days have...

  18. What are you most worried about in regards to starting nursing school??

    ShadowPlanet replied to BlueChocolateCat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only ADN programs that aren't at private schools all have waiting lists around here. It's not a lottery system, but a first come/first served kind of deal. I am not going the private school route...

  19. What are you most worried about in regards to starting nursing school??

    ShadowPlanet replied to BlueChocolateCat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know if you were commenting towards me, but the schools I'm considering all have wait lists.. from 2 to 4 YEARS. And that's after applying, which I can't even do until the end of this...

    ShadowPlanet replied to BlueChocolateCat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Getting in. But seriously, failing freaks me out.. I don't want to cause any

  21. Pre-nursing and the requirements

    ShadowPlanet replied to ray11kay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I do work study (pretty much paid volunteering) at the VA since I receive GI Bill funds. I'll switch over to volunteer as soon as my contract is over/I'm out of GI Bill. I work in the nursing...

  22. group pharm project - calling creative-types!

    ShadowPlanet replied to booncis's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hip hop! Think Kevin G from Mean Girls. I, for one, would be impressed to see a rap about

  23. Volunteer!!!

    ShadowPlanet replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    Where I live, the hospitals put volunteer information on the Jobs page. It might be similar for your state. If not, you could always go to the hospital/clinic/what have you and seek out the...

  24. A&P 1 help!!

    ShadowPlanet replied to Bess87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Memorize the NAMES. Forget about what they look like at first. Memorize the names, and in the order they appear. Especially all of the holes in the cranium. I took my first practical last week. It...

  25. How to enhance my appeal?

    ShadowPlanet replied to Beef Supreme's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you receiving any education benefits (GI Bill)? If so, contact your local VA hospital about getting in to their work study
