  1. Placed at MCC for Spring 2014

    There's a thread a little ways down that has people posting date/time stamps as they get accepted. I was Aug/2011. I believe they are currently doing replacement runs in the Oct/2011 timestamps. If...
  2. Generally only immediate family and relatives really matter. Like aunts, sisters, grandpa and such. An in law has no blood tie to you and there is possibility you don't know them at all (as is the...
  3. Not wanting to take care of male resident

    Likely no. Have you ever seen a member? Serious question because if it's just a matter of having not seen one before and you are nervous, maybe google image "member" and have a field day getting...
  4. For those placed in the Spring 14 cohorts, have any of you received orientation packets yet? Or do you know when your school will be sending them out? There is a decent amount of cost in all that...
  5. MCCD Spring 2014 - Orientation packets

    SWEET! I was thinking it would be that kind of thing, but wasn't sure. At SCC they gave us a preliminary book list but said a few of the titles could change and not to purchase yet (not sure what the...
  6. What to do? :(

    Was nursing something you felt pressured in to? Like, did your parents make you feel like you needed to do something with yourself and you jumped into school? I only ask because that is why I started...
  7. Cross Enrollment? Advice>.<

    You may be able to file a consortium agreement. The schools in my area allow them. You go to the cc and have the admissions office verify enrollment in the courses, then you take that verification to...
  8. This will be harsh, but it is how it is. You should have quit long ago and your response that you will not smoke before clinical is alarming. It implies you plan to continue smoking, just not on class...
  9. Oh and of course, clinicals are a waste of time. The hands on experience in applying the information you didn't learn anyway is totally a waste. This is actually half
  10. I am ecstatic that you seem to have decided that nursing is not for you. That sounds rude and harsh but its the truth. What do you want us to say? Yes you are right, the professor is out to get you....
  11. See if there are any walk in occupational health centers near you. We have a Banner occupational health center in my area that did the titers, physical, and first of the PPD series for $260. Then the...
  12. Venting online.

    I believe you would have to identify yourself and/or the facility for anything to be done. If it is just a general vent with some basic details, it is fine. But if it is a vent about a facility and...
  13. Honestly, you are being to vague to get sound advice. I understand if you want to be private on the internet. We would need a general location, GPA, TEAS and such. If your scores are good apply...
  14. It would depend on a few factors, one being where you live. Also your GPA and teas scores will matter. Everyone wants to get in the first try and the ones that do have competitive GPA and teas. We...
  15. Get into RN program in Miami with 2.66 GPA

    Most schools will allow a retake of failed classes and replace the grades. Just retake them to fix your GPA. To be blunt, you will be hard pressed to find any school that will accept you with a 2.66....
  16. Whats my next step after I get my GED?

    Also, most schools only require a HS diploma OR a GED, do having a GED shouldn't hinder your ability to get into NS. They look at your pre req GPA for admission, so a HS diploma with GPA is not...
  17. Whats my next step after I get my GED?

    Id say go the community college route first for your pre reqs. You can always apply for a University RN program, but either way you need the pre reqs done and they are cheaper at a community
  18. Legally they can't ask, ad you dot have to tell them until you need work accommodations. It is hard to prove discrimination if they use it against you so keep it to yourself. I wouldn't say anything...
  19. Strategy for selecting clinical sites

    I also vote for diversity. Both for the learning the difference, but also to cast a wider net. To get a job, you need to network. By going to more facilities, you are meeting new medical...
  20. Worried about my TB Test

    I am not a doctor, so you would need to call them. Possible reaction to the serum. Give your on call nurse line a call and see what they say. This doesn't sount
  21. Maricopa County Wait list

    The wait list is actually currently projected at over 3 years for people just applying. When I start in jan, I will have waited 2.5 year from application to start. The wait is ridiculous, but there...
  22. Former foster kids who are becoming nurses...

    Also, if your disadvantage is so bad, please elaborate. Having no parents and financial problems is valid, but it is not unique to your situation. Are there other struggles that only a ward could...
  23. Former foster kids who are becoming nurses...

    Honestly, you are only further proving what I was trying to say. Only YOU can make YOUR situation a DISADVANTAGE. You assume I know nothing of foster kids which is immature. My best friend in...
  24. I also agree with having the long term goal of BSN. More job options and it gets you one step ahead if you later decide to further your education. Apply to both ADN and BSN program though. In case you...
  25. Class B misdemeanor

    Since it is not a felony, it wont ruin your dreams of being a nurse, it could however delay them. You will need to as the nursing advisor at your school because the background check standards are...
