  1. Can anyone give me inforation at pheonix college

    No problem Thrashej, It was nice seeing you though!! I saw Kelly last week. I was really glad she was still in the program since she drives so far (like me) but she's in the traditional program so...
  2. Can anyone give me inforation at pheonix college

    Hey Angie, Sorry to hear about your patho class. I took a patho class at CGCC and I really liked the teacher and did really well in her class. If you're willing to drive all the way down here I can...
  3. Mccd Nursing application Placement number

    You also have to remember that at Apollo and Pima they don't take many of your completed pre-req's, so you'll be doing a lot of classes over. PLUS the fact that you can't transfer your training to a...
  4. Agency vs. Hospital

    I was contacted by an agency about three weeks ago called MGA healthcare. I filled out my ap and actually worked a job for them. I could be working a lot more, but I want to get a little more...
  5. Is it worth locking yourself into Banner for 3 years?

    Basically, teachers and nurses get credit for 'community service'. Our classes and clinicals are considered community service so we can get credit for the hours we spend in school and in clinicals,...
  6. Is it worth locking yourself into Banner for 3 years?

    I just wanted to add my There are a couple of programs through the Maricopa CC's that are accelerated. If you're looking to finish fast I'd check into those. YOu also have to consider that after...
  7. ?'ing becoming a nurse now...

    I had to get my CNA certificate as a pre-req for nursing school. Right now I'm in block I, and have yet to do my clinicals, so when an agency called me a couple of weeks ago to work as an agency CNA...
  8. What's the drop-out count so far?

    Suezeekay- YOu're right, but I don't think these students had to pass an ESL test to get into the school. It might have been the case for a couple students, that ESL was the main problem, but that...
  9. What's the drop-out count so far?

    YKW, I'm thinking they do. Originally they had 30 slots open, and then a month into the run they opened up 10 extra slots in the f/t and 10 in the w/e. I know that MCC is really strict on check offs...
  10. What's the drop-out count so far?

    I talked to a lady the other night who is in Glendale's f/t program and she said that before finals they had lost 12 people, and then five failed finals (including her), so that's 17 people out of 40...

    Wow, everyone's been busy on this thread . I can comment on both elementary schools and high schools as I have kids in both. One of my dd's goes to Gilbert High School and the other one goes to...
  13. What's the drop-out count so far?

    So far at Glendale w/e program we're all still there. I think it's 'cause we have a fantastic teacher. The f/t program had lost 11 out of 40 by week three though. Supposedly it was an ESL problem,...
  14. Arizona, California, Texas?

    Well that makes sense then. I still think most areas of CA are way overpriced for the average person to live. I have a friend who makes over 100K a year and lives in Bakersfield (not your prime real...
  15. Arizona, California, Texas?

    But how much do they earn per hour? The higher pay could be because in CA they have to work more overtime to adjust for the cost of living.
  16. I was just wondering if there are any perioperative programs for new grads somewhere in or around Denver. I wanted to move to the Denver area after I graduate next year, but would like to continue my...
  17. Perioperative programs around Denver

    sarita279- Thanks for the info about the residency program. It sounds like a great opportunity and a great place to work. Also, I was in no way saying that BSN's in CO couldn't start IV's, if you...
  18. Rio Salado Community College

    Yellowlablover- I completely agree with you. I have a BS already and I too found the classes at Rio to be very time consuming. I really felt like I learned a lot though, because I was forced to...

    You're welcome!! That's what I've been able to figure out, it does look like it's getting better. Imagine
  20. Rio Salado Community College

    Out of the 242 or so people who have not been placed yet, most of them have been in full status for less than 90 days. That means they applied probably last summer or this last fall. There are still...
  21. Rio Salado Community College

    Multicollinarity- You can only put down five schools. If you really want a good shot at getting into a school, put down MCC Boswell as one of your choices. They have something like 35 slots...
  22. Rio Salado Community College

    I wouldn't say that Rio has a shorter wait list than other schools. Part of the problem with Rio is they have close to no openings for each semester. Spring '06 they had either 5 or 10 openings for...

  24. Perioperative programs around Denver

    Becki you're right. I emailed the Director of the program and she emailed me back today that it is only BSN's. This just doesn't make sense. I'm here in Arizona and it really doesn't matter...

    The Gilbert hospital is part of Catholic Healthcare West, you can go to their website and find some info on it. It's due to open in June. It's starting out a little small (I've heard only 6 L&D...
