  1. Applying to RN Programs this year...I feel lost.

    mrsboots87 replied to annabelle2222's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in az so I don't have specific info for your area, but generally you woul want to see the schools stats and admission outlook. Go to your states board of nursing websit and get graduation and...

  2. Immunizations for RN program question

    mrsboots87 replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    Figured I would throw my schools policy in. It seems that most schools seem t be requiring the same vax/titer records before starting the program. Mine is: Tdap or TD booster with that last 2 years...

  3. Chemistry

    mrsboots87 replied to olaureno's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agreed. I have not heard of a RN program with no chem requirement. Some colleges may except HS chem taken within the last 5 years or so, but that is up to the nursing director at your school. I also...

  4. I GOT IN!!!!! NOW WHAT?

    mrsboots87 replied to mrsnurse2014's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Some schools want the background check done with a specific place that they can log in for access to verify its authenticity. It would be best to wait until orientation just to make sure you don't pay...

  5. Fall 2013 maricopa mursim program accepted date stamps

    mrsboots87 replied to natalie88's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I havn't counted recently so I don't know the exact, but I believe there were over 400 total, so the 330 should be public available for NON CEP students. I think there were around 100 CEP

  6. Are Prerequisites Flexible?

    mrsboots87 replied to Casha9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know prerequisites HAVE to be completed before applying. No way aroun that. And most schools are very specific in what classes should be taken so you would need to talk to a program advisor if you...

  7. A&P I- Histology

    mrsboots87 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Take each type one at a time. I took this class 2 years ago, so th info is not fresh in my head, but I do remember being completely overwhelmed with histology because the characteristics of each cells...

  8. Have you ever had an AP class where everyone is failing?

    mrsboots87 replied to diana10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like your instructor was crap. When an entire class fails beside a small handful, the instructor did something wrong. Di you ever ask to review the tests? or did you notice weird questions that...

  9. MCCD Spring 2014 - Orientation packets

    mrsboots87 replied to mrsboots87's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Nevermind. Received mine

  10. Background Check info?

    mrsboots87 replied to Froyoagogo's topic in General Students

    I'm pretty sure you will be ok. Regular civil and municipal charges don't really matter. This is the list of disqualifiers for the background check I had for my school. It is probably similar, if not...

  11. Bio205 at Rio?

    mrsboots87 replied to wildling's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The BIO 205 essays for the 16 week are 3-5 paragraphs long, have to be like 500 words, I believe, and have to have an application paragraph at the end. If you grasp the concept behind the essay...

  12. Background Check info?

    mrsboots87 replied to Froyoagogo's topic in General Students

    This will depend on how stringent the background check is. I only know the disqualifiers for mine include misdemeanors in the last 3 years (also controlled substance in last 7). So was the ticket a...

  13. My story and some questions from a confused older student

    mrsboots87 replied to Dreamhawk's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Ive been seeing that many hospitals will hire nursing students, with no CNA cert who have completed and passed block 1, as PCT's as a way for the student to get acute care experience. Then it gives...

  14. Bio205 at Rio?

    mrsboots87 replied to wildling's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I took the 16 week version of BIO 205 at RIO. I ended up having to drop 3 weeks before the end because of a personal stuff and am retaking it in the Nov 8 week as well. But it was VERY demanding....

  15. GCC/NAU Concurrent Program

    mrsboots87 replied to flutterby230's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Is that your pre req GPA over cumulative. The only GPA that counts towards the application are the pre req

  16. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Im kind of in the middle. I can see some circumstances where a normally good student may have some trouble one semester and then their grades might keep them from getting accepted, and retaking...

  17. Placed at MCC for Spring 2014

    mrsboots87 replied to harley0527's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Took me a bit to figure this site out as well. When you come into AZ nursing, there is a bold black link that says ARIZONA NURSING PROGRAMS. Click that and it brings you to the forum for AZ students....

  18. Placed at MCC for Spring 2014

    mrsboots87 replied to harley0527's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You will probably get more responses in the program forum. But I just got placed as well and from what I understand, after your letter of intent is received by the placement team, they send your info...

  19. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I got placed today! Second Choice SCC Aug 11

  20. Help! Advice on achieving my goal to become an RN.

    mrsboots87 replied to Savie's topic in General Nursing

    That's nice. I guess I clicked Arkansas instead of Arizona. Similar info, but a lot of this wont apply to your states programs as it will have its own requirements. I would still go for your CMA...

  21. Help! Advice on achieving my goal to become an RN.

    mrsboots87 replied to Savie's topic in General Nursing

    There are a couple ways you can go with this that tie into each other. I would def suggest the CMA over the CNA. You get less grunt work and higher pay and the program is relatively short. Heres the...

  22. BIO 205 online 8 week summer session at Phoenix College

    mrsboots87 replied to Hilush's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Unless things have changed in the last 2 years, the tests should be online at home. I took BIO 156 through PC and it was completely online. All tests were timed though. So you may have time to look up...

  23. Which Maricopa CC has shortest wait list?

    mrsboots87 replied to lilmac81's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That's not exactly true. Block 3 entry is based on availability. SOmetimes there can be a waitlist, sometimes there is not. If students are doing well and not very many fail or defer out of block 1...

  24. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That's a good point. Maybe she set up her choices last semester and never reaffirmed this semester. That would be sucky. I hope she either got placed or just forgot to reaffirm. The alternative is...

  25. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    mrsboots87 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Randallk - Did you get placed? I saw you post a june/11 date and said one of your choices was SCC, then saw some Aug/11 applicants got placed in SCC. If you did not get placed then I'm sorry to pour...
