Someone posted the schedules for GCC in https://allnurses.com/arizona-nursing/maricopa-nursing-program-968815.html

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? Microbiology?

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 from previous students and the money goes to the ...

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 one of the days will be off-site from 0630 - 1900 a...

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

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 see if they have any in my size. I will look for a...

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 right now AND has a coupon for $5 off of that and ...

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 lists. I personally would never go to a private scho...

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, the midterms and final exams were in person at eithe...

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 colleges and that is AFTER you have completed the prereq...

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 Application Status page anymore either.

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 feel.. surreal! I thought I'd be tapped for Spring 2...

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 a different hospital that partners with my school...

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 volunteering at the hospital I currently volunteer at. I ...

Get the anatomy book for your class and start studying.

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 wasn't the worst thing I've ever done (I did learn...

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 different start/end times) Tuesday, Wednesday, Thu...

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 because a) it's too expensive b) I've had bad luc...

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 semester.

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

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 education office, and get a lot of great advice from nurse...

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

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 information in person. Some even have volunteer offices.

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 covered anatomical terms, epithelium, connective tis...

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