  1. Gcu fall 2014 hopefuls

    Yes, it's pathology. :) I just finished it online today.
  2. Gcu fall 2014 hopefuls

    I'm currently taking HCR(finishes tomorrow) Bio 202, stats, chemistry and math.
  3. Becoming a nurse

    I have 3 kids, under 3 and a husband who works all the time. I did 4 or 5 pre-reqs at a time, most online but a few science courses in person. You can one class at a time if you aren't I'm a hurry!
  4. Microbiology & Pathophysiology at the same time in the summer.

    Absolutely. Honestly, those two courses together aren't even close to the load you will have in nursing school .
  5. Scholarship essay for nursing--Critique, please?

    I'm not trying to sound rude but wanted to be honest! I stopped reading after the first few sentences, the whole sob story pity me lost my attention.
  6. Microbiology

    Phoenix College offers it online. I took it in person but my professor linked in the online lab to our lectures
  7. West Valley Hospital/Abrazo Health Care- Goodyear

    This probably won't help much but I love West Valley as a patient. My nurses and doctors always seem friendly and happy. I live in Buckeye but even before living out here I chose to have both my babies at West Valley passing several hospitals along t...
  8. at what age did you start studying for nursing?

    I was 27, had 3 kids, 2 of them not in school, amazing husband and obviously not living with parents! :)
  9. Nursing School changing criteria to pass classes

    I think it's 78% with a 2.7 GPA but a A is above 93, B is above 87% I believe. In "real grades" you have to have 83/84% to slip by
  10. Took me three tries...

    Congratulations :)
  11. Gcu fall 2014 hopefuls

    I'm doing the 8 week HCR with Rio right now. I only have one week to go! It's super easy and interesting. I have one multiple choice quiz per week and one short essay per week.
  12. 3 months pregnant looking into Nursing School

    I'm blessed to have a super supportive husband. He's a police officer and had the option to switch to a schedule that worked well for us. He is off the days I'm in school besides one but I'm home before he has to go in.
  13. 3 months pregnant looking into Nursing School

    Have you completed your pre-reqs already? I did mind while pregnant with no issues. :)
  14. I want to be an RN soooo bad!!!!

    Sounds like you need to decide if you want to be a nurse or be his stomping mat. You're only treated as well as you demand in this world.
  15. A&P 201 or 202

    I took my A&P courses online. I feel like I learned very little of what I needed to succeed as a nurse. I received A's in both courses but I don't remember anything as I never had to do any memorization. I have time this summer to retake one cour...
  16. A&P 201 or 202

    201 covers the anatomy side. Bones, tissues and such. 202 covers organs and cardiovascular. I struggled more online with the 202 so I was thinking that may be important to retake. I just don't want to struggle in my program by feeling behind and try...
  17. GCU 2014 Summer

    I applied. I'm just not going to accept if I'm accepted. I applied before I made the decision.
  18. GCU 2014 Summer

    Nothing in my email yet.
  19. GCU 2014 Summer

    I applied to St.Joes but due to the way aid works I'm going to wait until fall
  20. Studying while occupying a child

    My 3 year old plays on his nabi while I studying ever night from 7:45, which is when my youngest goes down until he is ready for sleep. He cuddles up in my bed next to me. I talk to him in between studying. It's our time :)
  21. Online Anatomy and Physiology with Lab

    Phoenix Community College offers 100% online courses with online finals as well.
  22. Online Anatomy & Physiology?? (accredited!)

    I don't know if this was mentioned but Phoenix Community College does them 100% online, even the final is online. It's also not known as an "online" school.
  23. HESI-A2 without taking Physiology?

    I would wait it possible. Just because you took anatomy does not mean you know physiology. It takes a semester of studying and lectures to understand it. "Brushing up" on it will do fair well on the Hesi IMO
  24. Mandatory flu shots????

    ^This. As a healthcare worker you should be concerned about your patients. I think it should be required and if you refuse you can easily be replaced by somebody who understands the flu virus and the risk it poses to immune compromised patients
  25. 18 Credit Hours + Working?!

    I have 19 hours this semester, 18 last semester. I don't study at all when my kids are awake so I of my class work after 8PM for about 3 hours a night. I do very well and it works for me. I think of you have the self control to study instead of messi...
